    There’s a democrat in the whitehouse who has a vested interest in staying there. And therefore they’ll have all the appropriate resources in place before they show up.

    Things like machine gun nests.

    (Unless Biden is dumb enough to do half measures for that, too,)

      If they set up machine gun nests and military shit like that the Republicans can just claim that that’s a Democrat takeover. Can’t win

        So I guess we just let them have the fucking government.

        Good game. They win. Surrender now.

        Whaaahhhh.

            If they start another insurrection, it may prove necessary to use the the national guard- which is a military force- to clear them out.

            But your suggestion that we lose because of optics is absurd. We lose when the constitution is overthrown and lawful and orderly succession doesn’t happen.

            At the point they’re breaking down barricades, the optics are already fucked.

            It’s exactly this kind of luke warm bullshit that has allowed Trump to remain free and out of court for his myriad of crimes.
