    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.

        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.

        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.
