The Anti-Targ Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 35 minutes ago, Kalbear Total Landscaping said: Bullshit. Throw a few hundred people in federal prison for 10 years. People will stop emulating that shit REAL fast. These aren't martyrs - these are random assholes cosplaying as actual badasses who think that they'll rule the roost. Fuck them. They broke major laws. They should be at least tried. Now, I think you should ALSO throw the book at the ones who started this bullshit, but if you're not going to arrest people who are destroying the capitol building and endangering lives you're obviously acting as a bullshit thing anyway. Your rage is understandable. Problem is, you don't get to declare who is and isn't a martyr anymore than Candace Owen got to declare that George Floyd wasn't a martyr. And if you are confident that all these people are just cowards who will slink away and hide at the first taste of consequences, sure a few hundred in jail will probably work, probably a handful of them in jail would do it. But if they are, or a lot of them at least, true believers, then the hundreds in prison will be political prisoners and a further call to arms. I'm sure the Roman's thought feeding a few Christians to lions would sort that disorganised rabble out. But the Christians were true believers. I guess time will tell with this terrorist mob.

Again, we already saw what happened. They went and stormed the Michigan capitol building, with guns, shouting maskless at police, and no arrests were made and nothing happened. So guess fucking what - it escalated further. ETA: did we forget to mention MULTIPLE IEDS were found today? And...we're just okay with letting people who planted explosive devices in the fucking capitol building...go? We're good with that? FUCK THAT NOISE.

Seriously. How much of this failed because Trump is so incredibly obvious and bad at this and not because McConnell and Pence suddenly grew a conscience at the last minute?

The good news is that until Trump, they didn't think this was remotely possible and couldn't dream of stretching the bounds of acceptable behavior like this. The bad news is that now they know how much they can get away with, how most people will bend over backwards to do fuckall about it, and the next time will be significantly worse while being more palatable to white people.

Castellan Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Has there been any info on the other three people dead in the protests? I am somewhat taken aback to hear that the first woman was (a) an ardent believer in Q-anon and (b) an ex member of the air force. I do not like to think of people associated with powerful weapons being nut bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like not 'haha they drool sometimes' but 'don't be in the same room with them' crazy. The other 3 have only been reported as dead due to medical emergencies, which as far as I know is police talk akin to 'they fell down some stairs'.

kairparavel Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Three other people died today, per DC police chief but no official details on how/who though it seems one heart attack from accidental self-tasing, one falling 50 feet from the surge into the Capitol and one other circumstances unknown.

Castellan Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Oh dear. Self tasing sounds like a candidate for the Darwin awards. My first thought was heart attacks and drug overdoses, but nothing so normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dated this super hot Marine scout sniper who truly believed that Sandy Hook was fake and people were “crisis actors” and such. He was really pretty and had nice muscles. Omg, his abs were to die for. I just smiled and didn’t really listen to him talk. The return of Mr. Marine. Take this to the dating thread!

They’re not true believers; they’re cosplayers. And they’ve been shown over and over again these past four years that there are no consequences for playing out their desperate little fantasies. Show them that there will be major consequences for their action from now on, and they might bitch about it on the internet, but they’ll stop showing up for the treason rallies.

DanteGabriel Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Watching the reading of the votes in Congress. Rep from Georgia tried to object to their votes. Their objections have to be signed by a Senator. "Due to events earlier in the day, the Senators have withdrawn their support." Applause in the chambers.

Trump is too incompetent (and too hated by the military) to pull a Julius Caesar. But he's written the playbook for someone later. If I were feeling particularly gloomy, I'd suggest a Trump comeback in 2024 - after he's spent four years planning how to make Caesarism stick.
