So when the ‘proud boys’ and other right wing extremists attack every state capitol and DC this weekend is Benedict Arnold Trump going to declare Martial Law?
We have little idea just how many federal government officials, bureaucrats and security personnel support the attempted overthrow last week. God help us.
I have this same problem explaining reality to Qanonish people. You can put up a flashing billboard w/ sound effects and if they don’t WANT to believe the truth, they will simply dismiss it as a lie.
The Homeland Security office which studied such things was disbanded, but the FBI certainly warned.
Three who have taken Oath of Office in Congress have been accused of showing the layout of the Congressional buildings to the seditionists and even involved in the planning.
More and more it is coming out that many of those involved in the attempted coup are not people in economic hardship, but instead spoiled brats who were raised in well-to-do families.
It should therefore be no surprise that those seditionists favor the advent of a well-to-do spoiled brat führer instead of the rule of law, because with the Constitution being followed even spoiled brats are expected to follow codes of conduct that protect Americans. Once again they probably figured that they would be permitted to get away with anything, including attempting to destroy the nation and the murder and the extreme injuries and bias which they imposed upon police and threatened for multiple lawmakers.
The military and police everywhere are authoritarian institutions. It is just the nature of the beast. Far right by nature, even-especially?- in communist countries.That being the case, they turn a willful blind eye to threats on the right, threats that have been warned of repeatedly in the NT Times and on CNN. Probably not on Faux though, they’re good with this stuff.
Capitol police chief asked for assistance days before; He was denied.And again he asked; Bad optics. White cops v White seditionists.And yet again the morning of; He was denied.He resigned his position, but he was denied three times before then.

Plant Republican stooges of Hair Furor in Government, and THIS is the result. It’s going to take YEARS to root them all out…
