Attempt. the feds were on that long b4 they got their plan in the works. The FBI now sees white supremacist groups as terrorist organizations.

Jan 6 wasn't much in the way of violence or property damage - the real problem is that is was openly allowed to happen.

Between gun nuts, hackers, and other creative nasty people - there is a world of hurt possible. Especially with the entrenched urban / rural divide and the concentration of our base in city centers with vulnerable infrastructure.

January 6.

We're in for a summer of small skirmishes like we saw in Iraq. TFG is their war lord, and good chunk of GoP-Jihadis cling to the GOP and want a Civil War. They even printed up T shirts. They believe their own propaganda that they can stave off Gov'mint tyranny with their AR-15s, which, of course, are not military style or assault rifles, but can hold off the Army.

Who knew Tyranny simply meant white people have to obey the law, too?

Worse than a bigoted asshole kiling dozens of LGBT in a bar?

Worse than a deranged asshat killing Elementary School children?

Worse than religious nutjobs flying 767's into buildings?

What were you thinking of?
