Anyone?
Here's how I see it.
The insurrectionist traitors want at least the following:
~ Killing of people of color
~ Killing of liberals
~ Killing of LGBTQ people.
~ Killing of Jews
They saw it start and they cheered:
~ Family separations at the border
~ Kids in cages
~ Ice detention centers
The guns they carry are not for show
They fully intended to K I L L as many Democrats as they could at the US Capitol, but specifically Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
When Pence failed to support Trump, they called for him to be K I L L E D.
I assume many of you watched Arnold Schwarzenegger"s video posted here a day or two ago. He called the invasion of the Capitol our modern day Kristallnacht. I mostly agree with that. Add in a touch of Reichstag fire for emphasis.
What we saw this week was not out of the blue. Trump has been fomenting this for years; since before he was elected, in fact.
Yes, it CAN happen here.

What's happening now in 2021 with tRUMP and the reTHUGS is only the latest manifestation of
fascism and just as dangerous as all the others.
