Well, good riddance to Trump.
But the only thing I'm really worried about, is that his most extreme followers will feel even more marginalized - which could make the echo chambers even more dangerous.
I don't think these actions are as much coordinated, as they simply are a cascade of reactions. But from the outside, especially to those living in a bubble, it certainly would look like a surgical strike on Trump and his followers.
That alone, could absolutely elevate the "deep state conspiracy" psychosis to even more dangerous heights.
How long until some of the nutjobs actually start using their pipebombs and IED's?
- vecter 6y agoLet's be honest. His followers, especially the ones that stormed the Capitol, aren't living in reality. They believe the lies that this election was stolen. It wasn't. It was fair, free, secure, and accurate. But reality doesn't matter to them. We gain nothing but lose so much by pandering to these people for whom facts mean nothing. They will do what they will do, including an insurrection in the national's capital while a joint session of Congress is in order to enact the peaceful transition of power, one of the most sacred tenants of democracy, and nothing we can do will convince them otherwise.
