Related: About this forumThis is weird, scary, and sounds to me like projection from Pompeo
Listen closely at about the :19 second mark of this video where he nervously claims "disputed elections" among other things, have become the "tools" that will "dismantle our republic".
Is he projecting and admitting something here?
He seems very nervous and weird during the video too.

(8,037 posts)Could he have been referring to 2016 when so many voters believed that Russian interference cast doubt on the legitimacy the results of that general election?

The video was posted to youtube yesterday and this is what the description says:
In a speech Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Library, former Secretary of State and potential 2024 presidential contender Mike Pompeo shared what he sees as destabilizing elements within the nation that he believes could lead to collapse.

(2,575 posts)twitter account, but it began Jan 21 and continued for a few days, all kinds of policy bs.
This is all the search turned up for Jan. 21
His last posts as SOS were nutty as well.

(111,319 posts)and right out of Gingrich's playbook: recite a lot of things that scare suburbanites and try to paste it onto the "left."
Trouble is that the left didn't follow a drug addled radio gasbag for years all the way into fascism, which Pompeo represents. Nor did the left, in their many demonstrations in DC and elsewhere, ever smash their way into legislative buildings in order to stop the proceedings while threatening to kill anyone they found.
Forgive me, I can never look at that guy without wanting to stick a pin in him and watch him Bronx cheer his way around the universe as the gas escapes. Unfortunately, being a peaceful lefty, I'll have to wait for him to do the job to himself with his fork.

(6,699 posts)"Projection 101"...and scare tactics. Yes....we are inviting MS 13 to cross into our country. Yes....we aren't even screening the people who cross our southern border. Such absolute bull shit....oh, and we should be teaching our students about "ronnie alzheimer", and forget the part where he single handedly, as the gop puppet, dismantled the American middle class.
Oh, sweet Jesus.....give this man the Covid, or something worse, please!

(7,403 posts)Leading to collapse from within then that is a real danger. Somehow I think he is talking about a 2nd Amendment solution from Trump supporters, aided by corrupt law enforcement that joins the ranks. If it happens it will be quite violent and far right wing.
