Trump Hints Another January 6 Could Happen If He Loses the Election ( newrepublic.com )

The former president made multiple chilling warnings during an interview with Time magazine.

Donald Trump hasnā€™t quite let go of the possibility of utilizing mob violence if he loses the next election.

In a sprawling interview forĀ Time magazine, Trump hinted that leveraging political violence to achieve his end goals was still on the table.

ā€œIf we donā€™t win, you know, it depends,ā€ he toldĀ Time. ā€œIt always depends on the fairness of the election.ā€

And from Trumpā€™s perspective, thatā€™s winning rhetoric. According to him, his incendiary comments supporting a mob mentality, his early warnings of forthcoming abuses of power, and his threats to be a dictator on ā€œday oneā€ are only inching him closer to the White House. ā€œI think a lot of people like it,ā€ Trump toldĀ Time.

Am I supposed to be afraid of another small enclave of idiots making gigantic asses out of themselves on an international stage?

What's wrong with a Tourist Visit? Or was January 6th NOT a Tourist Visit?

And it could go the same as last time.

Itā€™s pretty clear that his endgame is to basically cause an enormous bloodbath.

At least if he does lose, there will hopefully be a riot squad waiting at the capital in case his threat comes true. It's what I'd do just in case he loses. In fact, it'd be the first thing I do! At the very least, if they don't come immediately within the first week after the election, just have them on standby just in case they eventually show up, ready to perform treason.

I canā€™t believe Norman Reedus and my birthday dates are tainted by this

I'm more afraid what will happen if he wins, because I don't know anything about that. I'd expect a Jan 6 2.0 if he loses, but I don't know if there will be either Kristalnacht 2.0, Nazi book burnings 2.0, or just slow erosion of secular human rights in favor of christian fascism.

just slow erosion of secular human rights in favor of christian fascism.

The SCOTUS says that if we don't let Trump do that there is a chance that Trump may do that !

If you didn't already know this would be the case, you're too optimistic about the situation.

Yeah. I really doubt congress is going to fuck around next time. They'll be deploying the national guard and shooting on sight. Even other GOP members were pissed about the insurrection and were targeted by insurrectionists.

This time, they might actually treat it as if they were "antifa" or BLM, even.
