Still don’t see Senor Trumpo on there.

#Wearetrump is trending on Twitter here in the states. I think this will be the closest thing we with get to a Fourth Reich right now with how Trump Supporters are acting.

Sometimes I ask how is Twitter free with gems like these.

I really, really hope the events of Wednesday are the one and only time his supporters try this attempted coup, because I fear that otherwise they’re going to try and remove people from the office and just cause general chaos whether Trump says they should or not.

I’m fucking worried for the future of the USA right now. This is the craziest they’ve been, and it’s clear that they aren’t giving up this delusion.

That’s what I’m fuckin’ worried about… Screw tradition by this point, they should hold his inauguration in the very-secure Oval Office. I don’t trust a stage in front of a building that was raided and invaded just 2 weeks beforehand.

Now there is zero excuse to not be totally ready. Not that there was before, but now even more reason to be totally ready for anything. D.C. is keeping the Nat Guard activated through Inauguration Day.

These kinds of people existed before Trump and will not disappear into the night just because he’s gone. They probably turn him into a martyr for their cause.

I also realized why so many of them proudly photographed/filmed themselves or even gave interviews telling the whole world their names and admitting their crimes. It wasn’t just stupidity or mob mentality. They believed that they had won. In their mind they were part of the silent majority. They thought people would praise them for their courage and call them heroes. The ones who overthrew their corrupt, evil government and restored the rightful President to power.

Much to their shock, they were wrong. Storming the capitol didn’t change anything. Biden was still confirmed to be President. The police and national guard didn’t side with them. The public called them terrorists. Other right-wing people on the internet called them Antifa moles. Even Trump (far too late) condemned their violence. The FBI posted their pictures on the Internet and many people we’re all too eager to help identifying them. The rug was pulled away under their feet and suddenly the realized far too late that the majority didn’t support them and was just waiting for them to make the first move. They only had contempt for them.

out of interest, how has the qanon hardcore reacted to this?

All due respect, the Civil War was worse.

What a way to die… :grimacing:

Parler CEO John Matze: You can use Parler to say whatever you want when you won’t and we won’t censor it even if you plan a coup or act like (or are) a Nazi.
Also John Matze when his app go shut down: Why are you doing this? I am not accountable for the actions I deliberately ignored and sentiments I intentionally fostered!

No doubt that far-right people have begun (for a long time now though) to be more dangerous after internet and social media started, now they have many platforms to express and discuss their conspiracy theories and rail each other up to a point of no return. It has to be taken serious and countries need to keep a close eye on those platforms, I.E USA and the riot against Capitol Hill was announced and talked about on social media before it happend, but still, the Capitol Hill was not under strong enough security:

“The security breach also raised questions about how demonstrators managed to force their way inside the Capitol and whether there was enough law enforcement presence, especially when threats of violence [brewing for days on social media](Pro-Trump riot at Capitol incited on Twitter, Parler: 'Burn down DC') should have raised red flags.”

Ironically, during the Trump term last year, the “provider privilege” that could save Matze here, was restricted. It is also what could have helped Trump to demand his tweets to stay unaltered.

They all get what they asked for.

I just placed a complain for being spammy and harmful and now it’s gone from my trending tab.
