Sigh.
I miss the old forum.
America just had another "Day of Infamy" and no one is here to say anything...
You know, I've been raising my eyebrow a bit at statements such as "attempted overthrow of government" and "domestic terrorist attack". Seems a bit of an exaggeration to me. I mean, things that definitely did not happen:
- Storm of the building with guns blazing, out to kill as many "traitorous Republicans" (and of course Democrats) as possible
- Massive property damage and attempted actual destruction of the building
- Coordinated attempt to really overthrow the government by violent means (always supremely ironic as that would imply especially overthrowing the president who happens to be "theirs").
Instead, we had people getting their picture taken in Nany Pelosi's office or walking around with a confederate flag and stuff like that. I am in no form or fashion defending these MAGA idiots and all of them should at the very least face stiff fines if not prison for the crap they pulled off. But some apocalyptic American Ragnarok this was not.
Also, since these jerks are so good at believing conspiracy theories, here's my own, completely unfounded one, no proof at all:
Trump and his family are deepcover Democrat operatives. After all, basically everything Trump has been doing in recent weeks (essentially years, but especially lately) has totally shredded his legacy (which would have been bad enough even if he had immediately conceded the election and initiated the peaceful transfer of power), torn the Republican party apart, led to the Democrats taking the Senate

and potentially now leading to his removal from office before January 20th. All of this is playing into the hands of the Democrats and doing massive, massive long-term damage to the Republican party. If they actually split into "classic Republican" and "Trumpublican", neither will win an election for a long time to come because about half the country is the other side, willing to compromise when it comes to progressive vs. centrist. So, yes, a cabal of sneaky, very competent Democrats has been working on this for many years, injecting this all-destructive virus into the heart of their enemies to burn them up from within!!!
