He’s already using the language to foment a coup, like last time, telling people they have to fight.
“If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday. "If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.
Plus, the Supreme Court is entertaining the idea he’s above the law.
This time, Biden is the incumbent. He would act immediately if they decide to try another insurrection. The only time I’ve ever seen police use less lethal weapons on a crowd properly was on January 6, 2021. Every other time, including current college protests, these weapons are being aimed directly at people in the crowd. These weapons can and do fucking kill people or maim them when aimed directly at them, which is why you aren’t supposed to fucking do that!
January 6, 2025 will not be as interesting, thankfully. Lord I hope this comment doesn’t age like milk…
Tell me what you do if 80,000 angry people show up. You can’t arrest them all while they’re trying to beat the officers to death, so that basically leaves crowd control measures, and as a last line, lethal force.
If a substantial portion of them have gas masks, we’re basically skipping straight to lethal force unless acoustic crowd control is more effective than I currently believe.
If that happens, the magoos would have brought them on themselves and have no one to blame but themselves.
I do wonder if some of the newer nonlethal options might be something they keep at the ready (such as directed energy weapons, LRAD) if they want to avoid having to shoot a lot of domestic terrorists.
I think Biden’s admin should maybe take donnie’s lawyer’s argument to heart and push the boundaries of what is acceptable, by having donnie arrested and thrown in Gitmo.
Then, let it wind through the courts while he sits in prison. Let it get the same slow-walk that all things donnie get up until now. How long has it been since donnie and his conspirators goaded on an insurrection while also plotting a coup to steal an election with their fake elector plot? I say donnie could sit in prison at least that long.

Don’t take anything for granted.
