I sure hope so. There were dudes inside Congress waving rebel flags. Trump and friends probably didn't count on that when they were posturing on Twitter.
Hopefully, that scares them straight and cools some heads. And not just Trump, but the entire political class who've been playing loose with divisive/identity politics for the last decade.
- sneak 6y agoAs far as rebellions go, that one was pretty understaffed. This is a media frenzy, nothing more, IMO.
- justin66 6y agoYou have an unusually poor grasp of history if rioters forcing lawmakers out of the US Capitol is something you view as “a media frenzy, nothing more.”
- aaron695 6y agoYes. The number were tiny. Pretty much non violent. An unarmed protester got shot by security. As they have said in congress already, all that was achieved was the vote was delayed for a few hours.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> Trump and friends probably didn’t count on that when they were posturing on Twitter. Of course not, they were hoping the mere threat would get a sufficient number of Republican lawmakers to immediately and publicly side with rejecting the election results (or get Pence to recant and do so, refusing to open the dispute votes), so that the mob could switch to celebration rather than carrying out violence.
