    These are the same people that stormed the capitol and the same people a single member of which stormed a US senator’s house and fucked up her husband with a hammer simply because Trump constantly shit talked about her.

    No I am not giving these people too much power. They are dangerous and they don’t know limits. They’ve proven this much.

    The last time a cult tried anything approaching this level of magnitude, they ended up coining the term ‘drinking the kool-aid’

        Once Alex Jones saw that they were committing violence he immediately retreated and claimed they were all antifa. In many other rallies since then very few people show up

        Of course he did. Alex Jones was a pawn, not a man in the know. He was already in deep shit over his Sandy Hook bullshit.

        Jones never knew where the line between inciting mob action and keeping his ass covered lay. He frequently crossed it. Shit, he would frequently get into fights himself.

        And yeah, relatively few people showed up to further rallies afterwards, but then even Trump knew it’d be fucking suicide to pull that shit again any time soon. Trump had to disown the actions of his mobs, something he had never done in the past. He did so because he knew he was in deep shit if he didn’t.

        But there are still millions that hang onto his every word, and chances are there are still thousands that will commit violence for it. And Trump is fighting for his life here.
