The thing that scares me the most, let's say Trump IS impeached. Not outside the realm of possibility. This group of people, they literally live in a different reality, and in their reality this impeachment would be a coup.
People don't just silently stand by when that happens. This is a heavily armed group of people, who's been "riled" up for literally years. Go to their discussions about the "free speech rallies" online. Look up based stickman. A lot of people are eager.
When the stakes reach the climax, we could see this "information" war turn into a real life war. Conspiracies, whether right or wrong, play HUGE roles in significant parts of history.
- empath75 9y agoGiven trump's 'enemy of the people' rhetoric against the press, scapegoating of minorities in general and encouragement of violence in his rallies and tacit endorsement of extra judicial violence by local police (he praised Duterte's literal death squads!), I wouldn't be surprised to see actual pogroms in Trump country.
