I don't think so.
Essentially everybody who was going to murder for Trump has already done so or attempted to do so.
The entire paramilitary wing of Trumpism is behind bars because of January 6th. Everybody left knows they are being watched.
Even the most deluded know they are only years away from their retirement. They are going to go.back to football and essential oils, and like Bush, they will pretend they were against Trump the entire time.
I foresee right wing terror returning to essentially lone wolf attacks on children or chitches.
Nah, it's not like they all dropped everything to go to 1/6, some missed it just because they couldn't pay.
Three years is a long time to radicalize even more people too.
Stop underestimating fascists, it rarely ends well
I'm not underestimating fascists. That's preposterous to allege. 😃
I am saying that the organizational heirarchy that led to Jan. 6 is gone in prison or acting as informants. Steve Bannon isn't sending $20k in bitcoin to Jim or Ron Watkins anymore, everybody else's funding is dried up. The situation has changed.
They said, immediately before underestimating fascists...
Money helps, but these idiots really think they'll overthrow the deep state so 5k in credit card debt doesn't matter to them.
That's more than enough for them to take a week off work and drive to wherever trump tells them to show up. Likely with guns or explosives.
Even if 99% won't do it, that 1% of the dumbest trump supporter is still a lot of people.
You're underestimating their stupidity, desire for violence, and complete detachment from reality.
And that doesn't work out well historically
I am underestimating none of those things. I fully expert lone wolf nutcases to continue their plots. I'm stating that the organizational infrastructure that was there to help guide them during the Trump era is now gone.
I understand a continuation of a grand conspiracy is somehow more comforting than the reality that fascist movements are already plotting what post-trump action looks like, but I assure you, the grand conspiracy stage is finished for the moment.
And now you're gaslighting. Come on, man, be better.
I'm not interested in changing your feelings on the subject, so I think the discussion is finished if you aren't willing to have the discussion meet a bare minimum of decency.
I'm quite comfortable in what I have given and continue to give in the fight against fascism. Thank you.
