the GOP already had their turn at failing to stop Trump back in the 2016 primaries
To say that the root cause of the Civil War was the 1860 election is stretching it, to say the least.
It seems more people voting for Biden think he has it in the bag than the other way around, because of the polls and media. Deja vu 2016. If anyone gets complacent, it's them since they're less enthusiastic for him than they were for Clinton and "he's going to win anyway".
oh yeah, I recall early chatter before Trump came on the scene that they were giving basically no fucks about the White House and were just looking to strengthen in Congress and focus on the state and local levels.
as much as the media played them up as bible thumping #FUKOBEME stuff a lot of what I saw more irl-ish was just as (if not more) pissed about establishment gop
I have no idea if it was a national policy but I recall a local Tea Party mandate was that whatever public venue you protested at you picked up all the litter you saw to leave it cleaner and in better shape than it was when you got there.
The Right is a sleeping giant. Aside from some of the groups that thrust themselves into Far-Left stomping grounds (Proud Boys should really stay out of Portland), most of the Republicans and Trump Supporters just want to chill and be safe. You can threaten and harass them all you want, but push come to shove, and I think it's a yeet from the Right.
I would argue the spark was somewhere between 4 years of bleeding kansas and the junior South Carolina senator beating the shit out of a Massachusetts senator for giving a speech about Lawrence being razed, again. Everything that followed was just incidental to the inevitable secondary explosion at fort sumter.
If the Dem establishment didn't have Bernie's balls in a little purse or Trump decided to run as a left wing populist and he was running against Mitt Romney and Carly Fiorina? I'd probably be massively blackpilled, I wouldn't even have the energy to go Derangement Syndrome.
That was my favorite part of the riots so far. They peaked early for me. There is a clip from the CNN broadcast that night. The feed shows a shot from tinside the lobby. There are 10-20 officers in view and I'm sure more outside of view. A rioter throws a firework into the lobby and the anchor who's speaking freaks out. You can hear the fear in their voice as they ask what happened and if everyone is okay, clearly panicked. You can tell the thought "Oh my god, the useful idiots might turn their violence on us" ran through their head for a split second. I don't know where the studios are in the Atlanta building, but it's huge. There were multiple floors, security doors, private security, and a couple dozen cops in between the anchor and the violence they support. Yet they shit their pants at the first sign the violence might come for them. It was the most delicious schadenfreude for me since Hillary supporters on election night.
If she didn't bring tendies then her argument is entirely irrelevant.
For the most part, I would say "yes".
He appointed someone in some position that is going to pull the troops out of Afghanistan. He squeaked it through at the start of the riots. Went largely unreported.
Really depends on how fervent they are- if they're the sort that would go on a holy jihad if CNN made the call, or the type who merely dislikes Trump for being rude.
