I had Biden being killed of natural causes in December, and civil war in January. Guess life isn't stranger than fiction.

England, and an evil businessman ran for POTUS for kicks. At this point I'm just waiting for my mutant powers to kick in. I mean, wtf.
CosmicWonders
Why do I get the feeling this is just the start of more sinister, extreme, & radical engagements? The fact that so many made this ok is wow

Honestly, this is the kind of action the left should have been taking for over 20 years. Say what you want, but look at France. /1

Their government, due to that nations' entire history, is fucking terrified of enraging the populace. Marie Antoinette did what trump did,/2

and they pretty well cut her fucking head off. The results speak for themselves. They serve the people first, and themselves second.
burentsu
4 years ago when he was elected I saw it...
NotQuiteBlonde
His twitter obsession was telling enough
NonstopRampage
I figured he'd forget himself after he's out of office. Tweeting like he still has diplomatic immunity. And they'll bust his ass for it.
NotQuiteBlonde
That would be lovely, although, I honestly would just like to not have to hear shit about him for a while, like until his sentencing maybe
NonstopRampage
Oh yeah. I've been sustaining myself on the knowledge that his downfall would be a wonderful show. Pure schadenfreude.
NonstopRampage
I should've wrote a book at the start of the election. By my count, I only underestimated two things, but on the whole, I knew. Fuck me.

I figured any actual politician could undo his bullshit in 2-3 months. Even his damage to the environment. But no, I doubt that now.

I told my brother last week that the “thing” Trump had planned that he’s been talking about is that he’s going have his supporters interfere

Holy shit. Way to make me look forward to it.

It seem that a lot of people dont really understand how an actual coup looks like...

Except some do and saw the coup-ness of it back in December. An incompetent coup is still a coup. 1/

I just saw this movie for the first time, and I can finally say... I understood that reference.

What's the movie?

Pretty good satire on horror imo. It's still horror, but they satire it and it's wonderful

Also, written and produced by Joss Whedon.

2020 will continue until March. Then it's 2021 and we just pretend the previous 12 months never happened.

It doesn't end. This continues for living memory, though hopefully not beyond. This is our life, now.

Near the end of the presidential election, I turned to my parents and said "There's going to be civil war. I know it." It still feels unreal
AuroraoftheNorth
I live in frickin Canada and it still sends shivers down my back. I'm horrified and scared.
SickOfThisCessPool
I had successful coup. Looks like I'm out $5. And I overestimated the MAGAloids
chemicalBagel
There's still time to recoup your loss. Pelosi left a sternly worded message to Pence.
MantisTobagganMD
That was a terrible bet. Trump doesn't have the backing of the military. Only way a for a coup to succeed is to have generals at your back
Ryanator50
they were mostly just looting shit... just like what they accused the BLM protestors of doing!
Meatmonk3y
You got one more chance at the end of January
BabyWitchErika
i'm hoping the next attempt is met with deadly force. We dont need to arrest thema nd waste time in court if they do this. Shoot, be done.
NonstopRampage
For a douche, you raise some good points.
mouseasw
Given yesterday's insurrection I expect National Guard and secret service will be prepared to respond with really force to any violence
Neinas
Let’s hope so, but this is not over, this is just the beginning. They have more guns than sane Americans
mouseasw
(with *deadly force) on Jan 20th.
GrumpyOldMan55
I saw this coming and I'm an idiot. I can't wrap my head around how unprepared the capitol police were.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Super easy to be unprepared for something you don't want to prevent.

Unprepared nothing. They were complicit in it.
userfriendly19777
It like the Praetorian Guard in ancient Rome. They were often involved in overthrowing the very people they were supposed to protect.
UnspokenX
they were 100% prepared. ... just... prepared to stand by and roll out the red carpet.
ReadaNewBook
They weren't unprepared they allowed it to happen.
itmfa666
We will find many Police were complicit but higher than that Trump political appointees interfered with intelligence reports.
ItsReallyNotThatDifficult
You have the top comment. Clearly not an idiot.
SzKnoWnzEvr72
Unprepared? No. This was a purposeful action from top people in the Capital Police
theLASTromanNJ
They technically joined in by letting them in, taking selfies with them and not out right killing them....
LeSethX
I expected it more in December, but I didn't know the specifics of confirming electoral votes.

spoiler alert: they weren't unprepared they purposefully didn't tell their officers it was coming. inauguration == more violence
thesuperrippednobody
They weren’t unprepared, they were “unprepared”
jetact12
Me too. My family still staring at me horrified. I told them 2 months ago and they think im psychic lol.

You should NOT have fed the hounds !!!
WholesomePyromaniac
They weren’t unprepared. According to the officers, they were told to stand down and that they weren’t needed.
BeAllUCantBe
Some of those who work forces.. I will continue to state this until everyone gets it
Beepity
They didn't use much tear gas on the insurrectionists because it would've made it really awkward today when they met back up at the precinct

He's going to try again closer to the 20th
OmnipotentBeing
This time everyone is aware of his plans. He is pretty screwed.

True but he still will try and it will be bloody
AsparagusSyndrome
They were prepared to join in.
camn333
And now that the people at the top of that organization have been fired/quit: Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

as they say those "who join forces are the same who burn crosses"

Talk to anyone who has dealt with federal buildings or security. This was an inside job, the cops deliberately allowed it.

kpeeps5
I get the sentiment but that's the national guard at the Lincoln memorial
JaffaHaffa
The metro police I think is controlled by the mayor, but were told not to come by a senator
PaintyGuys
Steven Sund told them they didn’t need them
ChemicalPorpoise
They were prepared. This was their prepared. They just were never going to try and stop them.
magphoenix
They are in on it
DetectiveGaff
Statistically, heavy crackdowns are more likely to occur from the start if it's a leftist protest
SawdustAndRust
They werecompletely prepared to hold them until told to let them by. More than one video showing the same.
Seannycash
too many of them took the day off to be on the other side of the line
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
They weren't unprepared, they were told to step aside
HamOnWholeWheat
this
Aaronb1138
Letting them in was a genius plan. Trump is now culpable for inciting. The list of charges is much stiffer than if they rebuffed them on the
Aaronb1138
steps. Certification was reduced to one day instead of several. The 25th is now in play with zero opposition. The country is galvanized
Aaronb1138
against the alt-right and white supremacists. And the evidence and charges will be sufficient to dismantle several groups entirely.
jokeyjokemaker
I sincerely hope so. I want to watch the GOP and all those racist fucks burn to the ground.
Aaronb1138
I even think the Capitol police present were hand picked sympathizers so the FBI can rip them out of law enforcement.
enterusernamehere25
they were very well prepared and briefed by trump to allow them in, i'd say things almost went exactly how they wanted
CasualFascist
Except one of the capitol police officers is apparently dead
Aaronb1138
More likely you have that backwards. Capitol police are controlled by Congress. The ease of seditious breach allowed the following: minimal
Aaronb1138
bloodshed, enough bloodshed to get all these guys for murder, Trump outed for inciting, one day certification, 25th now easy to execute.
Aaronb1138
Similarly they were allowed to loiter to increase charges for vandalism and leave more evidence (cell track, fingerprints, video, etc.).
homoneurotic
Oooh I like this theory
Skathix
This. They met no resistance, when they went into the capitol building it looked like a field trip for a specific interest group
Leithoa
I mean, that's better than sending in the tanks. Document, arrest, prosecute.
yy0b
But they didn't really do the latter either. The FBI is going around for scraps now bc the cops just let everyone go
Leithoa
DC has cameras everywhere, everything is tracked.
