How far could Trump's cult go?

While pondering Trump's defeat, I thought of Jim Jones and his followers.

They already seem willing to die, refusing to wear masks because of the "hoax", despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

The 3-minute mark of this clip from "Guyana Tragedy" was interesting, with the discussions about Russia not wanting them anymore.

1. I have been thinking about jim jones and trump for quite a while. trump worshipers have

lots of guns. Something to remember.

2. Trump will get desperate when he knows it's over.

He probably knows that he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

One final post-election "rally" to end it all with his followers?

I don't REALLY think that would happen, but Trump and his followers have consistently shocked me so far.

Am I bad for thinking I'd react like this about it?

3. Well some of them did drink clorox

4. IMO, they would not be self-destructive via mass suicide.

I could see militias with loaded weapons making (hopefully futile) attempts to take over state houses in selected states. A kind of mass Armand Bundy squatting with their rule vs. democracy.

5. That's actually what I think is more probable. nt

6. maybe a handfull....

but for the most - they love playing the victim too much.

More likely they'll try to piss people off, whine, cry, etc - protest with their guns in cammo, etc.
For a lot of them it's all about "owning the libtards" and "liberal tears".

When it comes down to it - they're cowards.


Now a few of the batshit crazy militias may try something - but hopefully they are as stupid as they've been in the past.
Im more worried about the lone ones who have been radicalized and pop up occasionally.



OTHO - if (after the election) the media continues to give trump free air time - they might rally around him and cause a lot of problems. That's why we need to crush him like a bug (legally). Any talk of "looking forward not backward" should be completely off the table.

10. I respectfully beg to differ.

Michigan was a dress rehearsal. "Protesters" not only marched around the state capital, they invaded the interior, forcing the governor to cancel her day's activities. They brought weapons which were incorporated into their "free expression." And their message was "Your democracy is inferior to our ammo." Their idea of the government getting things done is our threats of violence will determine your policy. That's how Germany became a fascist state as well as Italy.

13. And remember the Mango Maniac was behind them

He wanted The Governor to grovel with them. He is the ring leader.

7. Trumpers are, fundamentally, cowards.

Which is why they love guns so much and why they worship the big orange, whiny, five-deferment baby. He is JUST LIKE them.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. Yeah, I think you're right.

Maybe a little wishful thinking on my part?

Lol, I'm bad.

9. I have no problem with Trumpers thinning themselves from the herd.

That's why I have long advocated for Congress to pass, and for President Obama to publicly support, a bill making it ILLEGAL for people to pour kerosene on their pubes and set their genitals ablaze.

12. I fully support this reasonable, liberal legislation.

I hope that President Biden and the next Congress get on this early next year.
