    It won’t work though. Remember how he asked for mass gatherings at his trial and it didn’t happen?

    January 6th required a huge number of Trump rallygoers from all over the country to mass in one place, for them to get fired up to commit violence by multiple speakers, for Trump himself to say that he personally was going to go with them to the Capitol, and for Trump to do virtually nothing about the insurrection for hours.

    There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won’t be some great MAGA uprising.

      Even that could turn scary though. One lone wolf attack could inspire more and those inspire even more, eventually leading us to an American Years of Lead

      The Trump base has shown us how insane they are before, I don’t want to underestimate what they’ll do next.

        Maybe, but don’t underestimate good old American laziness.
