    Yes, that’s what terrorists want. They commit violence for political gains and then also hope fear of further violence will influence events toward their desired outcome.

    The Media wouldn’t shy away from calling it terrorism if the threat was from brown people living in an oil rich country, we need to call it what it is now.

    They’re literally saying they’re going to be violent, and their godking is encouraging it with impunity. My hope is that we win and they try to revolt again so they learn what a proper federal response to insurgency looks like, but I also expect Biden have the backbone of a jellyfish

    I am not suffering under any delusions that this is a vague possibility. It’s almost certain. They’ve been laying the groundwork since the last election to make sure their supporters will be ready to accept that the next election was “stolen” (but only if their guy loses). The big difference is that there will be extra security precautions this time because everyone is expecting it.
