My point is that if you're stockpiling guns purely for the sake of one day forming a militia and overthrowing the government (i.e. literally what the Second Amendment is for and why many of these people say they're pro-gun) and you feel the election was illegitimate and stolen from your candidate of your choice by your enemies, one might think that now is your moment and that the rest of the country should be worried about what you might do. But I really don't think most of those people actually have the stomach for doing any of this and I suspect that it's all just tough talk.

Twitter has suspended more than 70,000 accounts linked to the far-right movement QAnon.

QAnon is a conspiracy claiming that President Donald Trump is waging a war against Satan-worshipping paedophiles in politics, business and the media.

Supporters were involved in the storming of the US Congress building last

I read somewhere else how the FBI had them in categories based like DVE which was Domestic Violet Extremist, RMVE Racially Motivated Violent Extremist and some other one. There are nutters who would aim to start a civil war, but no where near enough to actually start one.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

It's an absurd overreaction to compensate for the bizarrely complacent response the first time around.
As predicted, the crazies with their guns are out looking to kill people, and the security presence is already showing that it is necessary.

Today we see that a Trumpista with fake credentials, a gun and, 500 rounds of ammunition was arrested trying to enter the inauguration security zone. Was he out to kill Biden? Or Mike Pence? Or, seeing as that is likely not possible, just out to kill whoever he could? And how many more have been scared off by the security forces?

Prohibiting gun ownership there would prevent this. It’s one thing to be an otherwise law-abiding idiot with easy access to a gun. It’s another thing altogether to be just an otherwise law-abiding idiot.

Thanks for these. That was the best one yet - “Everything’s Alright” had me laughing so loud I nearly spat out my brunch.

Excellent!!! Very clever.
I wonder what Tim Minchin could do with the satirical fodder that Trump has provided. :)

From interference in national affairs by his entirely unqualified, dull offspring to things like this, it's disturbing what people were willing to normalise:
Absolutely agree! It's something I find difficult to understand too.
Still, narcissists of all types are very skilled at people manipulation. Have one with the extreme, unadulterated power over a nation like the US President and all sorts of inexplicables happen I guess.
