It really is dangerous because of the right to bear arms and the way in which America tolerates white extremism in the name of freedom of speech etc. There’s basically a civil war going on already. Two sides utterly opposed who can’t stand to share the same street as each other. And sadly, the numbers on Trump’s side are huge. It’s not just a lunatic fringe. Something very bad is going to happen over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A large percentage of these idiots live in some fantasy world where they see themselves as some kind of pioneer fighters for freedom. I saw a tweet a few days ago from an elected republican saying that nothing would stop her wearing her Glock pistol when attending in Washington. Astonishing behaviour.

Mikey1874 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 More time for them all to reflect on what Mitch McConnell said. He is effectively closer to Biden now than Trump. They'll still need to work together even with Democratic Senate. In fact they are long term partners to putting together compromise policies.

Justin Z Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 “No indication of smoke, no indication of irritants in the air.” THEY HAVE LITERALLY VIOLENTLY STORMED THE US CAPITOL AND POLICE HAVEN'T BEEN MINDED TO USE TEAR GAS They were launching it directly into people's faces as simply marched down the street over the summer, or gathered in prayer vigils in parks.
