Press X to doubt.
There are legions of keyboard warriors and there are certainly alt right militias but I am pretty certain nobody except the dumb cheeto himself wants them anywhere near DC.
The J6 crowd are going to get a blanket pardon. This will form (or, I should say, has already formed) the nascent core of what I can only describe as an American Sturmabteilung. They will be fanatically devoted to Trump, because he personally, and in a very real sense, will have saved them from languishing in jail, and “redeemed” them with a pardon (putting aside the fact that, in legal parlance, that is categorically not what a pardon does). I will be shocked if we do not have a Krystallnacht 2: electric boogaloo inside of a year from Trump taking office again.
People need to start taking this shit seriously and to prepare accordingly. There is a playbook here, and they’re following it. It’s from history. It’s a very, very dangerous playbook. You know what I’m talking about.
I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying but do remember that Hitler ended up dissolving (violently) the SA in 1934 due to how politically destabilizing they were. This bunch of fanatics absolutely is an ace card up Trump’s sleeve but I expect most GOPers will want these folks kept far away from anything important.
They’re likely going to be super relevant in 2028 though and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have openly armed “election overseers”.
