I think the solution here, is to dissolve ohio and unexplore it, then we can figure out what to do with it.

If these folk aren't tagged and brought down by the FBI or other agencies real loving soon, I'll be disappointed. gently caress, I would prefer the 101st or 82nd to roll in and entreat them to how we treated people in fallujah.

Come on, a small part of all of you expected this stupidity, but you just never thought people would be this blatantly ignorant.

I'm surprised it took this long and isn't worse.

I hate to agree, all things considered it could be much worse. It is a bad look to put it lightly and if the people that went into the capitol today aren't going to be facing federal charges at some point, then I don't really know what to do. Thankfully these chucklefucks love social media.

The fact that they love actively doxxing themselves is one I thoroughly enjoy.

But how many gunfights is that going to start when cops actually start knocking on doors to arrest these chucklefucks.

Preferably none when they get snatched up going to work or going to the store.

So does this mean the 25th can’t be invoked?

Basically everyone just bides their time until Joe comes in?

Meanwhile the FBI gets to track down all the tips provided? It’d be interesting to find out the outcomes of all this poo poo.

I would hope that the 25th could be done still, but I really can't speak to how the process works past the various cabinet secretaries. The dipshits from yesterday did a good enough job documenting their crimes and many of them have already been doxxed, so I'd hope the FBI nabbing these folks and charging them with at least felonies is a relatively easy process.

Is there any sort of mechanism to yank the security clearances of anyone getting into Q stuff? They're clearly a threat to national security and it's not like their involvement is hard to find.

I've seriously thought about talking to security about one of my coworkers because of this, but I'm not sure what would come of it.

In my imagination, it's like that scene in Death of Stalin where they're conspiring against Beria. I'd like to imagine they're making sure they have enough to push trump out on the 25th, but they probably won't do anything. Also, I'm not sure who is more despicable, trump or beria.

Beria, by a country mile. Seriously he even raped more people then Trump. Like it’s weird to be so clear cut...but I think it is here.

I guess, in my mind Beria seems further because he wasn't here, but they're still finding bodies from him apparently.

And the reason things aren't going to get better is they seemingly think the same or worse about anyone who isn't in lockstep with them.

I like to think of this the same way that I do about the KKK and other white supremacy groups in the 1920's and 30's in the US. It's something we can smash out of the light of day, but it requires work and I honestly think we can do it. I'm hoping that this is the height of these groups for now and they'll ebb into the background where they can be dismantled and the people involved either reformed or unpersoned.

Many of whom are POC. Don't think that the grim irony of black and brown folks having to clean up the messes of white people is lost on anyone here.


So much white nationalist rhetoric has been mainstreamed over the past few decades, with Donald loving Trump himself acting as a wonderful megaphone for a lot of that sentiment. Rooting this out is going to be a societal project that I don't think the US has the energy or wherewithal to accomplish.

I try to be optimistic and believe that this is a problem that can be solved. I like to hope that after trump leaves office and loses the spotlight, that the people who follow him will splinter and become more easily tracked and managed, especially under an administration that would hopefully be more willing to prosecute white supremacy. Who knows though, nothing is forever, especially the thoughts in the brains of a mealy mouthed shitbird like the q folks.

And when the military left a bunch of white conservatives violently overthrew the state and local governments and took control. The 6th was just a lovely re-enactment of the end of reconstruction to these folks, confederate flags and all, though they didn't use cannons to shell the government (yet).

I really don't like the doomer poo poo, mostly because it's bad for my mental health which is already strained at this point. I still wish to be hopeful that there is a way to pull back and prosecute or unperson the people involved in this, especially with the cops hopefully feeling threatened enough to take actual serious action next time there's a hint of something.
