To the extent that any of these knuckle-draggers are thinking ahead that far, they want to violently overthrow the government and install Trump as a fascist dictator. But in their minds, they're "stopping the steal."
FBI Reports in bulletin that armed protests are being planned for all 50 state capitols

You, me, all of us in this community have been saying it for years, but it was insanely dangerous to normalize Trump's constant lying and misinformation; but *particularly* about election fraud. This isn't happening because of the extremist groups, it's happening because *regular people* can listen to the President of the United States give speeches, and tune into a worldwide-aired mainstream cable news, and just between those two things alone (which *should be* normal) become convinced that liberals are taking over the government illegally and hear calls to arms to do something about it. When you add people increasingly going further into social media bubbles because they don't like being told they're wrong, and the fact that those same bubbles increasingly mix the afore-mentioned extremist groups' ideas and conspiracy theories with regular conservatives (whose ideology was already inherently susceptible to misinformation) like people's grandparents, it became a powder keg. It's supercharged an already dangerous situation. Trump's lying and the enablers that perpetuated it have taken the oil and water of extremism and normal politics, and made them the same viscosity so they now freely mix.
That's basically the same as Illinois. I kind of wonder how many will show up to Springfield, but it's square center of Hicksville. Either way I think Pritzker will have things on lock.
Biden is gonna need balls of steel becoming president in this fucking environment.
Bruh civil war has been already occurring. It's not just a switch that gets flipped. It's a slow bubbling before it fully boils.
Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday.

Bowser urges people to avoid DC as National Guard plans to have up to 15,000 troops in city
Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol.

Time to bring it home, very likely would cost less than $800 billion to defend against the home grown terrorist's.
Hey cut them some slack, the big bad socialist black man oppressed them for 8 years.
Yes. What's the point? National guard doesn't play around so the terrorists are not gonna have a good time.
That's what I thought too. They probably realize this too like last Wed.
My town was the state capitol back in the 19th century. I would not be surprised if some idiots showed up to the historic capitol building here by mistake.
If States heed this and have National Guard to protect stuff I have to imagine things will go very poorly for the terrorists. This isn't like DC where Trump can influence a lack of enforcement.
Probably. If you notice there wasn't really a resistance presence at the Capitol last week, there was an assumption that if they fought the terrorists Trump would call them the terrorists and institute martial law or something using them as an excuse. By staying out they ensure the focus is on the Nazis.
I could see them paying attention to potential hot spots though around the country without actively demonstrating.

At a minimum, to mitigate any potential risk of a political vacuum in power, they really need to ensure the entire government is not all together at one until Biden is securely in office. Its called defense in depth. No way Biden/Harris/Schumer/Pelosi and any in the line of succession should be in the same place until the domestic terrorists are under control.
They don't have the numbers and support they think they do. And with Parker and twitter shucking them, the chances of this coming through are much slimmer.
Also, literally nothing happened at twitter hq today. I wouldn't be surprised if their tantrum on the 6th has them ALL under major heat from the feds.

I saw a poll from today that says even after last week 90% of Trump voters would still vote for him again
I think the goal posts for magats now is Trump using the insurrection act to stay in power, so more insurrection means Trump be President longer.
Sounds like they're going to make a strong case against the 2nd Amendment.
Maybe there will actually be enough political will at the moment to do something about it.

That is how we got 6th. Shrug emoji by Capitol Police leadership even after all the warnings because they didn't think anything significant would happen.
Might as well try to not repeat that insane fuckup and take these warnings seriously, hopefully.
They police will definitely take it more serious this time. With that, and the federal arrests happening + Parler being shut down and Trump being deplatformed.. it just feels like these racist assholes might go back into hiding like pre-2016. But we'll see, I'm not ruling anything out. Past 4 years proved that these crazies won't go down without a fight
That would actually be funny, Juneau has no outside road access so if the terrorists show up and get placed on no fly list before they leave they'd literally be stranded there.
law enforcement gonna be ready this time (or should be, depending on their fucking loyalties), and the national guard in d.c.
this could get really fucking bad if they decide to actually show up in force. I have a feeling a lot of them will chicken out.

I like to imagine someone watching home alone 2 decades ago and whispering to themselves "I'm going to die for that man one day".
It's the truth. 😂
In all seriousness, shit is scary. Here's hoping these traitors saw what happened to their "patriot" brethren and nothing materializes.
