New Poll on Republicans Reveals Just How Likely Another January 6 Is

[uptower]

I think some of the low IQ GOP voting yokels will definitely attempt some shenanigans like last time, but also like last time, they have proven that they are nothing more than a bunch of disorganized out of shape neck bearded morons who will ultimately get their asses handed to them, like last time. Then after, like last time, some will argue that it was nothing more than a "peaceful protest", while the others will claim it was a false flag created by the Democrats/FBI/Antifa/Deep State to "frame innocent conservatives". Basically it will be the same script from 2021, with maybe some minor tweaks.

Again though, Jan 6 was also led by Trump. He groomed them for months to believe in stolen election; he said "Be there it'll be wild" and goaded them from the podium on the day; he claimed he'd join them in marching on the capitol and making Pence "do the right thing" .

He's in no position to do any of that this time. Plus security will be heavier. Without even a rally at the capitol there won't be another riot.

Oh FFS...thanks for showing me you're not serious.

Based on what? This all happened after Hillary's loss to Trump.

George Floyd protests had nothing to do with the outcome of the 2016 election. You know that, but you decided to fuse the two together.

You're bullshitting. Let me know when you're done bullshitting and then I'll know to take you seriously. But I don't take you seriously. At all.

And?

Did Barack Obama or prominent members of the Democratic party have anything to do with organizing these protests? If you state the wrong answer to this question, I'll judge you as a very, very low-IQ individual.

 

[Hamish Howl]

They are certainly welcome to try.

Nothing bad will happen to them or anything.

 

[jnug]

Hopefully. An equal number told pollsters it would be worth violence to keep Trump out of power as Republicans told pollsters it would be worth violence to put him in power, but, the proof will be in the pudding.



1. I don't have a team in modern American politics.
2. I don't know how you got:




from:



You do understand the difference between "X is Bad but Not As Bad as Y" and "X and Y are equally bad"... right?

I believe you. You have no party. You are an anarchist desperate to burn the whole thing to the ground.

 

[cpwill]

I believe you. You have no party. You are an anarchist desperate to burn the whole thing to the ground.

No idea where you would have gotten that notion from. I'm a conservative, politically, and we aren't much for burning Chestertons' fences or Burke's platoons to the ground.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

There was this one event in the 1860s that, I believe, was also rather notable at the time.

It's worth including because it's broader context about the degree to which this is

A) worse among Republicans
B) but not unique to them.

Trumpsters will do what Trump tells them to do. If he tells them to attack the Capitol, they will do it. If he tells them to attack poll workers they will do it. They are just that stupid.

Yeah, the Republicans and the Democrats today are the same as they were in 1860. You're really counting on people not knowing history, aren't you, cpwill?

 

[TobyOne]

Democrats have said each election since 200o is "stolen". Why would anyone believe any election result where they're involved? Suck to not support the 2A.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

That 27% of Democrats say they will refuse to accept the legitimacy of a Presidential election that they lose is bad, just as 46% of Republicans saying the same is worse.

If it is not bad for Democrats to say they will refuse to accept the legitimacy of a Presidential election they lose, then it would also not be bad for Republicans to do the same.

However, it is bad that 27% of Democrats say that. It is worse that 46% of Republicans say the same.

Why do you ignore the FACT that we have evidence that Republicans WILL be violent if their candidate doesn't win? There are lots of Republicans who were alive the last time they tried an insurrection. In fact, some of them may have answered the poll.

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

Trump becoming president again... how?

I suspect that number would go up if Trump's path to the presidency ran through the House of Representatives because his election counters wouldn't verify the vote.

And the media would be quoting Rep Billy-Bob "Bubba" backwoods [R] as saying "I don't care what the so-called "votes" were, I'm not going to allow anyone other than Donald John Trump {PBUH} to be the President of the United States of America.".

And?

I just thought protests in Portland in 2016 were probably unrelated to the George Floyd protests in 2020. YMMV.

[phoenix2020]

I am not so worried this election cycle. Americans have grown wise to MAGA’s theatrics and threats of violence, and as a people we’re standing back and standing by, ready to neutralize any MAGA who decide to opt for violence in order to steal the election. While I hope none choose to do so, any MAGA who elect to Babbitt themselves out of the gene pool can be replaced by hard-working, patriotic immigrants.

 

[Craig234]

The ringleaders are in jail, Trump is in the dock.

He is the ringleader.

Expect a few random hate crimes instead. But there’ll be no coordinated backlash like last time.

I concur. As I've said, Jan 6 only happened as a trump run scheme to let him enact the insurrection act. There's little chance of a repeat.

 

[redbeer]

Trump is a traitor to this country. What was the death penalty created for if not for traitors. Now, that said, I don’t think random citizens should be taking matters into their own hands. That’s for our Justice system to sort out. So, I think Democrats have far more of a leg to stand on than Republicans in supporting the use of force.

One side literally supports the law, the other side supports lawlessness

Yeah, we know while you just called for the death of Trump.

 

[Blue Dog]

Not shocked in the least. Too many republicans support reactionary populism.

I got my photographs wrong. There's still absolutely no comparison between street decentralized, unorganized street protests by anarchists and the well-organized attempted autogolpe. You can stop co-signing bullshit now, thanks.

No those photos were from after the election. You have no idea what you are talking about and are not afraid to show it.

In addition, Clinton may have been the first Presidential candidate to say the election was stolen from her.

What city does it matter that it occurred?
It did occur in other cities such as Oakland, Los Angeles
Was there a prominent Republican that organized Jan 6?

Trump is a piece of crap and so is MAGA but to think all Democrats are above the cesspool is living in ignorance.

There's plenty of information available about how January 6th unfolded, the months leading up to it and so forth. I'm not doing your homework for you. To find a Democratic candidate and party that challenged the legitimacy of an election outcome you'd probably have to go back to 1876, and that was a very, very different Democratic party. I'm not doing your history homework for you, either. To think some burning cars is analogous to the attempt to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power is absurd. We're done here.

During that event in the 1860s, it was the Republicans who had the progressives (the abolitionists). It was a very different time.
