      That’s because people are far too invested in their own comforts. 1/6 was an outlier because they were under the mistaken impression that Trump would lift even a single finger to protect them, which has not played out at all.

      We might see a similar event after the 2024 election if Trump doesn’t win again, but not on any kind of national scale.

        Which really goes to show how far from reality their perception of trump really is

          Didn’t he just promise to free all of his imprisoned idiots? I’m sure he’ll get right on that

            There are only two things left that trump could do that would actually surprise me, which is impressive considering how often I was shocked by his actions in the beginning. Those two things are “tell the truth”, and “do the right thing”. If he ever does either of those things my mind will explode.

      I was until I though about how much work that would be. I think people would much rather yell at there television.

      Well, we have 11 months prep-time for this one, so we should use it wisely

      1. Get a passport if you don’t have one already

      2. Get in shape – you are either going to be running or engaging in combat so be sure you’re physically fit enough to do it

      3. Get a gun if you don’t have one and learn how to use it properly

      4. Build an emergency fund – even if it’s just a couple hundred dollars, that’s enough for a bus ticket to a safe state or out of the country entirely

      5. Have an exit plan with your loved ones and make sure you have somewhere to go
