Hey. Hey - member, member in early January 2021 when trump was all like "I totally won, everone come destroy the Capitol for me!" and a bunch of Qanut hicks were, like, crying "sir! yes sir, sir!" And loaded up their bazookas and three-sided daggers and mall ninja shit and left work on a Wednesday to go to DC and perform The Stupidest Coup in History?
And member how everone saw that and was like "holy shit this motherfucker is calling for a coup right there in DC in front of little baby Jesus and everybody"?
And member how the corporate news was like "SOME fear that trump may be planning some sort of disruption, but the FBI trump controls says everything's fiiiine" member that?
And then, right, and then he's all up there in his little glass box with his gross high squeaky voice going "everyone kill! Attaaaaaaack!" and all the MAGA nutjob hicks are wagging their little guns going "hoo hooo hoo hoo we big" and member the corporate news was like "trump seems to be making some statements that DEMOCRATS feel are incendiary and THEY SAY there could be some trouble down at the Mill!"
Member all that goddamned obvious stupid fucked up shit?
Here we go again. This article is just one of many like it - "Maybe" "could" "Fears raise" "warning" etc. etc.
A-fucking-men!
All this if if if is fucking insane!
I get they need to be "impartial" but there's no way in hell this is "if" or "maybe" it's fucking plan B! Plan A is just win of course, but this is their actual plan.
I'm normally a pessimistic person so take this with a grain of salt, but I have absolutely 0 hope that we actually win this. I'm 100% convinced the fix is already in.
Still vote! But I completely expect Trump to be handed the election...
