No.

This is a forum of rules.

That the president's supporters have breached the rules that govern normal expectations in the United States is no excuse for you not to follow the rules of these forums.



Sorry; for the briefest moment I was tempted to say yes.

Fine

Ill follow the rules. Probably get a long ban for my next violation anyway so i wont tempt fate.

Someone made a comparison to the 1991 Soviet coup attempt and this just being history repeating as a farce to try and reassure me... but like, if Trump had gotten his ducks even slightly in a row on this, he could've made this a fait accompli, and now there's a road map for the next person on how to do it.

The moments in history that America chooses to define itself are the predominantly ones where it chose violence. For the people who most wholeheartedly buy into the American myth, America means the use of force to get your way, violence as both right and responsibility. This is the result.

Being an American patriot does not mean being violence. The people who are storming the Capitol are not reflective of the American populace as a whole. Most wouldn't storm the federal government.

That’s the sad part. Precedent. I’ve said this in thread several times. Trump is a dumbfuck but his cuckery certainly can give an intelligent person a play by play book on how to avoid mistakes to successfully steal an election. I hope I’m wrong but there may be a dictator in your country’s future. The bed has been made.
