    Hey dumbasses, Trump won’t be in office to stop the deployment of law enforcement this time. I predict that when Harris wins the Jan 6th crowd will be a tenth the size as last time and when they see all the cops lined up they won’t do a damned thing.

      Fwiw, USSS has declared the highest level of security for that day already.

      Yeah, and Capitol police will probably be much more willing to default to lethal force considering they lost a few people the last go-round.

      I fear it won’t be centralized just in Washington this time and they could try to take many state houses that simply aren’t prepared as the Capital clearly will be. There was a clip of two men walking away from Jan 6 that haunts me. They were remarking on what an incredible day it was, and one of them says, “but next time we bring the guns”. If 100k armed idiots people show up at the Capital looking for a ‘revolution’, cops aren’t going to be enough. And even worse if they take to local streets looking for anybody who opposes them. I hope the fever doesn’t get that high, but I’ll for sure to be staying far away from any of those crazies for a while.
