Within minutes of Trump’s indictment, supporters lit up social media platforms with violent threats and calls for civil war.

    This just doesn’t seem like the guy worth fighting a civil war over

    This is my first lemmy comment… sorry for the low quality response.

    These people could coordinate well enough to do Jan 6, but once they actually went through with it, none of them actually knew how to achieve anything that really furthered their motives.

    I expect most of these people, whether they realize it or not, don’t actually want revolution. None of them would know what to do with it, or how to achieve it. They just want a simulation of revolution, feeling like they are changing something without actually achieving anything outside of stroking their own ego’s.

    Why the fuck would anyone base their entire life and identity around a politician. How fucking dumb.

    Do they not remember the outcome of the first one? They lost…

    I wish they’d all just fuck off to their own uninhabited rock in the middle of the ocean somewhere where they can do all the dipshit stuff they want to do and yell into the void. They’re a cancer in this country.

      They live in a bubble that’s been telling them since they were suckling their mom’s tits that the other people are the fascists, and stealing lives and freedoms in broad daylight (the opposite of reality). Add to that the heavy gun culture and nationalism, and you get a mob of people wanting to shoot the ‘other’. Last year a dude was asking Charlie Kirk in public when they should start killing liberals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxNFXJmNhbA&t=15s

      i don’t remember that at all. Calls for outright killing political opponents, and starting a civil war? “A LOT”? There were protests, yeah, but nothing like this.

      “both sides” are not the same.

      Bullshit there were, just because you would kill someone because you don’t get your own way, does not mean anybody on the left thinks like that. Perhaps you don’t get who the left are, they are like against killing folk just because you’re having a tantrum like a toddler.

      This both sides shit was projecting when it was first suggested and it’s even less credible now.

      The extreme left (if that’s even a believeable thing) come round to your house and force you to recycle and have a composting bin under your sink, they do not kill you.
