Probably self-evident, but this whole sham of "reinstatement" is just another scam to hoover more bucks from his cult.
Just like the other "leaders" of doomsday cults, Bloated Tick will push back the date after August passes.
When will these stupid motherfuckers learn?

(53,871 posts)Oath Keepers and Proud Boys are demoralized, fighting against each other, disassociating themselves and some have even agreed to testify against their organizations.
He can roll the dice but it won't get him anywhere closer to being back in the WH than he is right now. Hell, he'll be lucky to avoid being indicted. It's over as far as the WH. And he knows it. This whole reinstate is just a front to keep getting donations.

The only troubling part is that there are still trump-loyal nut cases still in positions of responsibility in the pentagon...
that

trump's influence is waning according to the number of social media mentions and retweets.
He's toast and doesn't know it yet. There will be no civil war. There will be isolated militia rebellions that will be put down though.
ewagner
(18,964 posts)You're probably right...
My hope is those isolated rebellions won't spread more lies and propaganda that attract others.

(16,773 posts)And they see it the same way. He is the "chosen one" in many of their eyes, and they will, like January 6, commit atrocities in his name and glory because he has lied again and they now believe he can/will be "re-instated."

(53,871 posts)and ability of some scattered-around-the-nation militia groups with no firepower to match the Nat'l Guard/state troopers of their area. We all saw how they all talked a good fight after being being put down on Jan. 6, even vowing to come back, but they sure didn't when the Guard sent in troops.
And now they're arguing among themselves with some disassociating and even testifying against them. At best there will be some isolated incidents but nothing near a civil war. They have no troop movement capabilities as they're hundreds and thousands of miles apart. They might adopt the tactics of the IRA, which is worrying, but don't think the FBI and the DHS don't have close surveillance on them and know who and where they are.

(1,910 posts)There is no organized army of Trumpers that could do a dang thing. Jan 6th was their perfect storm, allowed to organize and use social media to plan, and the Capitol left unprotected. Thats all distant past. Any group of more than 10 Trumpers in DC would lead to 2000 cops from DC and Capitol police.
Jan 6th was a one off, these clowns can not do anything with force. The BIG danger is voter suppression and allowing the Repug state houses to overturn elections.

They will learn only when they become scared of punishment themselves and all theyll learn then is to crawl back under the rocks and leaves from whence they came.
I troll hard core Trumpsters on specific sites. It gets easier every day. In the last 3 or 4 weeks the are becoming more scarce daily and never show up even when I offer bait. January through early April they came out in droves.

(15,245 posts)One day a week I used go to the pistol range so I go through a lot of .22 ammo. Ammunition has been hard to get for more than a year even while the Orange Swine was still lying in the White House. The supply chain is really messed up most of it was going to military. What is now produced gets snatched up and is resold for exorbitant prices.

(11,578 posts)Sadly, there are some people who, even after learn they've been scammed, still defend the scammer. It's about being right and protecting their fragile egos. Trump understand this quirk in human nature and takes advantage of it every chance he gets. As we've seen over and over, someone with no conscience will do anything. He's the lowest of the low.

(36,290 posts)... the protests will be all the more violent. He loves money, but he loves the trappings of power more. He's actually hoping he can provoke ANOTHER insurrection, and that this one will work. Don't dismiss his machinations as nothing serious. They're deadly serious, especially for people who aren't him.

IMO though, that may be be the best option.
