I wonder if they’re actually dumb enough to try the false electors scheme twice in a row?
They got caught are being convicted right now for doing it in 2020, and everybody is expecting it now.
Whatever the result they’re going to keep trying again. Why wouldn’t they when there are virtually no consequences? Fascists don’t give a damn about what election results say, they’re always going to try to gain power by any means necessary.
The Republicans get away with so much despicable action and each time the Dems get pants by the audacity of the attempt. That’s how we are here now.
The conservatives will try absolutely anything, up to and including armed insurrection. Now with AR15s, and probably with bumpstocks fitted.
Don’t think that it could never happen. The MAGA element love being underestimated.
Democrats like to bitch about Republicans but their platforms are 95% the same. The real enemy is leftists, and they’ll take Trump for 4 terms before they ever give an inch to the left.

Economically, yes, but socially, no. That social part matters quite a bit.
Ehhhhh it matters less than dems want us to think. Social policy doesn’t matter if nobody can make endsmeat. The social policy of dems is just the other wing of our singular corporate party providing the illusion of choice.
Christofascism or fascism with a pride flag, either way we funnel more of our wealth to the 1% and further disenfranchise everybody else.
fascism with a pride flag
Wait, what? I’ve never heard anyone claim that those are in in way similar before. That’s a new one for me.
My point is that democrat voters are rewarding D politicians for pushing and enacting the very fascist legislation they claim to be protecting us from - because apparently fascism is fine so long as they pay lip service to the lgbtqia community.
Can you tell me what legislation by dems are fascist?
How would he know? Trump isn’t supposed to talk with felons.
Why aren’t these guys in jail? Seriously. I mean, I know the theory of the rule of law and all, but even our widely-acclaimed greatest president suspended habeas corpus when insurgent seditionists tried to overthrow the Union.
Throughout human history, laws have never stopped conservatism. Jails have never stopped conservatism. Pacifism has never stopped conservatism. Only force has ever stopped conservatism. Only force.
Careful or you’ll get called a tankie
People get called that when they’re pretending to be far left while urging everyone to take the exact actions the Repubs want them to take.
Is this code for “people who aren’t voting for Joe Biden”?
that would be people who are essentially voting for trump, so yeah, why not.
Tankie is the pro-authoritarian left. The Stalinists essentially. The ones who think it’s appropriate to send in the tanks to quell a socialist or communist uprising because it has a tint of democracy in it, which may cause their strong leader to lose dictatorial power.
Funny thing is, in all my life I’ve never met anyone on the left that was pro authoritarian. Seems like a made up faux news boogeyman
It depends on whether you consider PRC and Stalin “left.” There are plenty of their supporters out on the internet.
Tankies are literal authoritarians. People say they’re “authoritarian communists,” which ignores they’re mostly Maoists or Stalinists, both of whom were closer to fascism than the left. It sort of ignores the basic premise of communism or even socialism to have a single authoritarian ruler. Kind of like how the Nazis called themselves socialists. I guess they were a workers’ party to start, but I don’t think you can reasonably conflate their ideology with the tenets of socialism.
That’s certainly a take
No, you don’t understand. The problem is that those people haven’t had enough time to bring upon real communism. Real communism hasn’t been reached yet. They want to let the Maos and Stalins of the world have enough time to reach communism. Things will surely be different with the next guy.
I suspect that this is extremely dry humor, but for others that read this, Trump pardoned both Bannon and Stone
it’s still unfathomable that trump was “allowed” (I know it was “legal”, don’t point that out) to pardon his literal partners-in-crime. He basically has already self-pardoned himself by proxy by allowing these traitors to walk free.
I don’t know if anyone else has pointed this out, in this photo especially, Roger Stone looks like a caricature of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.

Who is himself a caricature of an old and evil rich man. If the shoe fits…
Btw, remember when he showed up to the inauguration looking like a literal Batman villain?
I say if Ebeneezer Scrooge were a real person and alive today, that is exactly what he would look like.
wow, posh spice let herself go
IIRC, Mr. Burns was meant to be a caricature of specifically Rupert Murdoch.
The jailcells gonna be crowded with all the reservations these criminals are laying out
It’s been 4 years. How’s that working out so far?
