General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1353

There is actually a great reason to think it’s not part of his strategy - he didn’t act on it, but instead explicitly told them to stop. You could say his strategy involved getting the general populace to support him, yes obviously, but that’s a long ways off from saying he was ever hoping for a literal physical takeover. If he wanted to do that, he could very easily just tweet out some shit like “FELLOW PATRIOTS - TAKE THE CAPITAL” lol. Instead he went on for weeks about how Mike Pence was going to make some big move on his behalf

The “he’s dumb” argument cuts both ways - that he’s so stupid that he didn’t realize his reckless actions would result in people doing this

 

for attempting to start a civil war you are banned from our web site for 12 hours.

Jason banned me from AP for longer because I didn't like the Spill Canvas

 

If he blatantly called for them to take the capital he couldn't hide behind plausible deniability, which is what he and his sycophants constantly rely upon to refute any and all criticisms of their actions.

 

Melani's chief of staff resigned because of today. Way to finally get a fucking spine.

 

The fact that shitheads like Baked Alaska and Nick Fuentes raided Pelosi’s office, messed with government property and will face no consequences is infuriating.

 

well maybe you should have appreciated those licks on The Tide a little more, Neo.

 

Everything is so dumb. The I love cops rap guy took over a senate office?

 

OK, I'm really getting sick of the America as "constant purveyor of what's right to the rest of the world" (Brian Williams's exact words right now) before Trump ruined it. Let's not pretend like we don't lead the world in overthrown governments through secret coups

 

I remember exactly what I said too. I compared them to Gym Class Heros and said they had a few catchy songs but hadn't been able to put together a whole album

 

spill canvas always sucked tbh

 

Young Jason ... oh boy.

 

I am listening to "The Tide" for the first time right now and yiiiikes


*don't ban me please*

 

I think I like 8-12 or so Spill Canvas songs and they are really good songs IMO. Would def say they’re better than Gym Class Heroes but honestly forget most of their songs that I heard other than the first single that was all over the radio.

 

Guy in the bottom left is definitely antifa

 

Does he have rabies?

 

I agree, but there’s still no indication that he would have even tried to go along with it. I’ve been saying for a while now that I think he only has the balls to actually try anything insofar as he felt he had the rest of the GOP behind him on it. Only the most fringe psychos have been calling for literal violence rather than a procedural coup, and since the party was largely more than willing to go along with his attempts to throw out ballots or overturn results, that is what he has been hanging his hat on. That’s actually exactly what he was trying to do today lol

 

The doom guy has stormed the capitol

 

Hey rememebr this was like 2003 where sad boy acoustic emo was all the rage.

Id recommend others but honestly it’s all overly sappy lyrics that are cringy for anyone who wasn’t a teenager in the early 2000s lol. I still enjoy listening to the ones I like but a lot of it is definitely nostalgia.

 

Not surprised they're immediately jumping to defend the EC.

Can't imagine a better argument for why our current system of electing the president is a huge trash fire than what transpired in DC today.

 

And rabies
