So, do we get to vote on our preferred demonization? Or do our Charismatic Overlords construct idols for us to worship

Religion is a fine thing in moderation.  Having spent two decades fighting religious violence from adherents of monotheistic hive mind, i cannot abide Flynn's sort of Christian Jihad assholery.

The Dems need to learn to bring a gun to a gunfight. Enough of this bs.

I love how the based media calls this a standoff.  It's actually just a dude breaking the law.

Fascists. 
Watching history repeat itself. 
And it didn’t even take a century to do so.

Humanity didn’t learn its lesson. Shame on us.

Exactly.

This quote describes Trumpers perfectly.

This story...  I also want to know why Flynn's brother was at the Pentagon ops center on Jan 6 and what his (in)actions might have caused to spin out of control.  Why is Flynn's brother still on active duty at USINDOPACOM? 

[smr-nj]

Why, indeed

You guys sure have drank the kool-aid on the insurection conspiracy theory. You really think they were people in centers directing it?

I am not at all convinced that gun ownership makes one less likely to be killed or seriously injured in a violent crime.  I think it makes it more likely.   

Yes, because the #1 correlation to high gun violence rates is the very availability of guns.

I think it was poorly organized like everything Trumpers do, but  it was clearly known that something was going to happen long before January 6.   How do you think it went down and why do you think Trump tweeted about it weeks before it happened?

Looks like Let's Go Bannon has achieved his right-wing martyr optics. Cue the Tucker Outrage Machine:

It would also appear that the protest on the state capitol in Michigan in April was a trial run.

I also can't help but think back to when those Trumpers tried to run Kamala Harris' bus off the freeway in Texas. It was just shrugged aside.

There are right wing extremist para-military groups that fantasize about this stuff all the time and getting the president and a few of his slappies to go along with it was a wet dream come true.  I doubt there was any plan to do any serious damage because they easily could have done a lot more if they wanted.  This one was also a trial run in that they are always practicing this stuff and it finally got real.  They'd love to do it again, but I don't know if there is any long-term plan.

I think it's a matter of how far their leaders will allow them to go.  It kind of goes both ways though.  Trump will go as far as he needs to go get attention, admiration and money.  If enough of his supporters realistically start to think that a Civil War is a good idea, Trump will want to be the hero that makes it happen.  He's got no plan though.  He makes stuff up as he goes along.

Let me just quote myself.  There was no trial run either.  We may have different opinions on politics but you guys are smarter than this!

Remember, Liz Cheney voted with Trump over 90% of the time.

I watched the HBO January 6th documentary. I'm proud of myself and clear with conscience because I voted for Joe Biden and had no part of this insurrection and terrorist chaos. If you haven't watched it yet I highly recommend checking it out.
