    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.

      If anywhere near that amounts of armed idiots shows up to DC this time, I’m certain the National Guard will be waiting for them.

      We saw the limits of relying on Capital Police and DC Metro Police last time. A Biden admin transitioning to a Harris admin is not going to make that mistake again, and the MD National Guard will probably be ready and waiting for the assistance call like the one that came way too late 4 years ago.

      Send in the Guard then. And have other areas around the country on high alert. Also: watch these fuckers, and all their leaders of these little terrorist groups. Infiltrate them now, if they have not already. And the minute they start seeing them booking flights, renting cars, etc…track their movements. It’s not like there weren’t plenty of warnings last time around. These people were broadcasting their terrorism last time. And now they are emboldened, most of them will be just as open about it this time around.

        Time for a for a few “Presidential acts” then. Maybe a few of these meal team 6 types get out of line with our election system by getting violent and they meet a bad end from some trained snipers. At the same time, known liars who whip up violence are strategically taken off the air at the same time, at least for a few hours/days. I hope the administration has a lot of people on this, and all of security is on high alert against the REAL enemies within - the qons.
