Pro-Trump forums erupt with violent threats ahead of Wednesday's rally against the 2020 election

Far-right online forums are seething with references to potential violence and urging supporters of President Trump to bring guns to Wednesday’s protests in Washington — in violation of local laws — as Congress meets to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Many of the posts appear to be direct responses to Trump’s demands that his supporters pack the nation’s capital in support of his bogus claims that November’s national vote for Biden resulted from election fraud. Congress’s largely ceremonial role in confirming Biden’s victory has emerged as a catalyst for expected unrest that has D.C. police and the National Guard deploying on city streets to quell potential trouble.

Talk of guns and potential violence is rife on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, the conservative social media site Parler and on thedonald.win, an online forum that previously operated on Reddit before the company banned it in June after years of racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and calls for violence.

Trump’s tweet last month pushing baseless fraud claims and promoting the “big protest” on Jan. 6 — “Be there, will be wild!” — has become a central rallying cry. It was the top post on thedonald.win Tuesday morning, and anonymous commenters saw it as a call to action: “We’ve got marching orders,” the top reply said. . .

Trump has been pushing for violence by members of his cult. Looks lie he may get his wish. Stay away from this madness.

1. I would be very surprised if there's anything major.

Especially since those gun-humping assholes are basically cowards and they know the National Guard has been called out.

Let's see how many get arrested for violating DC's no-gun laws.

[Major Nikon]

13. You have to remember they are too afraid to leave home without precious

The idea of any large scale insurrection is a bit laughable.

I do think there will be a small number of no-shit batshit crazy cult members who come completely unglued and resort to violence.

27. I'm so scared

2. "RIFLE, HANDGUN, 2 KNIVES AND AS MUCH AMMO AS YOU CAN CARRY"

From the same Washington Post article

Advance Democracy, a group headed by former FBI analyst and Senate investigator Daniel J. Jones, who led the review of the CIA’s torture program, said

"thedonald.win had more than 18 million visits in November, and the recent posts with calls for violence had more than 40,000 engagements. One particularly troubling post said protesters should travel in groups that should “not let [anyone] disarm someone without stacking bodies.” It added that protesters should be “ARMED WITH RIFLE, HANDGUN, 2 KNIVES AND AS MUCH AMMO AS YOU CAN CARRY.” "

32. Did it say anything about bringing duffle bags full of

Doritos, Twinkies, Pop Tarts, Ding Dongs, and HoHos?

[Wicked Blue]

33. Now that's body armor nt

[OldkySoul]

45. Is he

part of the gravy seals?

[Thekaspervote]

3. Please everyone stay away..I think there may be violence despite NG presence

[Wicked Blue]

6. The National Guard will not be armed and won't be wearing body armor

according to various media reports I saw yesterday. They are supposed to mainly direct traffic.

I am worried for the safety of the Guard members if they can't defend themselves against gun-carrying crazies.

NBC4Washington reports:

"The D.C. National Guard will assist the Metropolitan Police Department with crowd management and traffic control.

D.C. police also coordinated with federal law enforcement agencies U.S. Park Police, U.S. Capitol Police and the U.S. Secret Service, which protect federal assets in the District.

The Arlington County Police Department has agreed to a mutual aid assistance request from D.C. police and will provide officers to assist "in the event of a significant disturbance or unrest."

46. Don't think for a minute that there aren't armed units ready if needed. nt

[David__77]

4. There will be much to monitor and follow up on.

The forum that is mentioned is definitely loaded with very blatant calls to commit mass killings. I have no idea what they say some days from now - that they were fooled or robbed, etc.?

[PNW-Dem]

36. Agreed. In all seriousness

Consider donating to the Southern Poverty Law Center. I think they do a great job of monitoring.

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. It's time to take off the gloves IMO and defend Democracy. Do it with the lawful representatives of

Law & Order - the police and National Guard.

7. Everything is traceable. And the Internet is forever.

As true as the FBI showing up at the time of their choosing on a traitor's doorstep. Blog on, magats.

[DBoon]

8. No surprise, this is the only "free speech" the right wing knows

They scream about censorship if you try to block threats of violence and proven falsehoods.

9. I'm seeing a lot of it at freerepublic.com

EVERY SINGLE PERSON SHOULD DISOBEY
AND OPEN FIRE IF COPS TRY AND ARREST

Many gun restrictions in DC would be violated by this suggestion:

Think like a cartel member. Carry. Carry proudly. If the cops turn on
you, then target the police.

11. These are the postings of terrorist blogs and they should be on a watch list and arrested

for criminal threatening if possible. This is nothing less than sedition.

If they harm one Guardsman on active duty then they are committing treason and are making war against the State and the Federal government. They should then be treated as any enemy would be.

[Wicked Blue]

35. +100 nt

[Lock him up.]

12. None of these online-warrior cowards will be there.

None.

[HUAJIAO]

14. you're right... bunch of cowards sending everybody else off to war

[EndlessWire]

17. Wow, do they think they're not going to get shot back?

All this for Trump? He's running away to avoid Letitia!

Let's all stay home and watch on TV. Let them fight among themselves. The only concern is whether they can block Congress Critters from reaching the voting chamber, and the cops will handle that.

[birdographer]

20. The second that one of them gets grazed on the arm by a bullet,

they will scatter like cockroaches when the lights come on. Not sure who they think they are going up against, some prairie schoolmarms? The most moronic of all the morons. And their hero? A sniveling, whiny child.

[EndlessWire]

21. I agree. n/t

[PatrickforO]

37. Give the wolves their head, eh. Roll in the Abrams tanks and oil their

bogey wheels with the guts of these traitors.

[Cozmo]

10. I was gonna say that we all need to stay away from those thugs.

Last night it occurred to me that tRump made that egregious call to GA in an attempt to rile up the Democrats, as if we care. But the asshole is so stupid I can just see his tiny, little pea brain swirling with grandeur at another one of his landmark ideas. Just a thought.

[mdbl]

15. Maybe we'll luck out and trump will get caught in the crossfire from idiots he riled

assholes!

[SWBTATTReg]

18. All talk, no hat.

[Aussie105]

19. Call to action!

Really?
No, just doing what Trump does - stirring up others into breaking the law.

The police and other civil control forces will be there.
The front line presence may be unarmed, but behind them will be levels of armed response teams, right up to armored troop carriers.
Expect water cannons and clouds of tear gas if things spark off.

If shooting starts, the front line forces with their shields and batons will withdraw quickly, and the serious troops will advance from the shadows.

If the goons in their cosplay dress-up pseudo uniforms start something, they will regret it.
Most of the blood on the streets will be theirs.
And there will be blood, there is always one in the crowd that thinks a single shot will start their Revolution.

The rest of us, keep away!

[oldsoftie]

22. And if they start shit, then put them down like dogs.

Thats the only way they'lll learn that no one person owns this country.

[Moostache]

29. Or no one political party, either!

I am 100% behind mowing them down with tanks, attack helicopters and flame throwers if necessary. If that doesn't disperse the idiot brigade, then send in a SEAL team with orders to eliminate combatants with extreme prejudice. They do not have a chance in hell....

[Initech]

40. Seriously, bring on the bean bags and the rubber bullets.

If they want to raise hell, let 'em see hell! These traitors should get what is coming to them.

[Mr.Bill]

23. Keyboard warriors amuse me.

Biggest cowards on the planet.

[Submariner]

24. Let them show up with guns and face the police and National Guard

Biden won already. F*** those people

[Ligyron]

25. Just who do these idiots think they are going to fight?

They're being enticed to break the law and so they probably will, but I doubt many will be arrested for open carry.

So someone should surreptitiously throw a string of lit firecrackers into a large gathering of them, yell, "Die, fascist trumpers!" then duck, take cover and watch the fun begin.

[paleotn]

30. Typing things on a keyboard and actually doing them...

are two entirely different things. It's Wednesday....do these people have jobs? And if some do get a bit hinky, I'm sure DC law enforcement would be more than happy to give them "free" lodging.

[truthisfreedom]

31. Jesus, 45 is such an insane idiot.

Look what he’s done to our country. It’s like we elected the Joker.

[badboy67]

38. The Brown Shirts want to help Trump engineer his "emergency."

Martial Law would follow...

[nolabear]

39. I tried the donald.win but got a 503 Service unavailable notice. Either they're being overloaded

or they are down. I'm good with that either way.

People should simply stay far, far away and let them shoot at one another or do whatever damage to property those patriots think is patriotic. I'd imagine most are all talk but now and then a Rittenhouse gets through and it's not worth it. Joe's going to be president.

[Crowman2009]

41. Let's hope that if their is violence, it will be racist gang infighting.

I know a lot of theses groups have been splintering due to either racist orthodoxy or not being devoted enough to the orange dipshit.

[Crowman2009]

42. Also, it's another super spreader event in the making.

[COL Mustard]

43. I Live In The DC Metro Area

No way I'm going downtown tomorrow.

[cntrfthrs]

44. tempest in a teapot...90% of those wusses have never been shot at...

...much less seen the inside of a jail cell...they seem to forget there's an army of armed Left out here in the hinterland and another armed army of urban gangsters and street people who tolerate no racists...
