Pay attention everyone, the reason this hasn't happened more often is because Trump will use acts like this to fuel anger in his base. Then he will use that anger to destroy lives and eradicate laws that stand in the way of his cruelty and goals.

He is anyway. Passivity won't save us or even delay it for long

If anything, relenting will make his lies more outrageous, his actions more unhinged. He only understands fear so you might as well speak his language.

I think you are making that up. how can you possibly know the motivation of everyone who might do something like this, but chooses not to?

I lot of people love to make conjectures without substantive back up. Must be a carry over from Reddit!

I mean all of trump's base believes all sorts of nonsense all the time. Giving them real things to be concerned about is probably a step up.

Yea, but at the same time he could just make something happen and blame it on the leftists. We know how easily MAGA is fed BS if they want to hear it. So many of them say the Jan 6 treasonous ass wipes were escorted through the capital.

An escort did happen, but that was at an entirely different place and time and wasn't like J6. But, they're given the info and the videos of an entirely different event and they simply accept it as truth because they want to believe it is the truth.
