Leave out your bullets and black rifle coffee for QAnon Santa tonight!

QAnon Santa gets zipties and a hot dog instead of bullets in this household.

What would have happened if they were more successful in occupying the building? I think they could hold out for a day or two if Trump publicly supported them and withheld any forces from violently removing them from the building. Then there would be a shit show on the news as the congress in exile would be fighting over whether to impeach in order to fix it. Papa John’s would prolong the occupation by feeding the occupiers. All the news stations would have 24/7 Situation Room style live reporting. The protestors would slowly get bored of it and leave in a trickle until only the diehards are left. At that point Trump realizes it makes them look stupid, so he quietly allows the special forces to remove them, but without any harm. There would be footage of them heroically exiting the building. They would be in Fox News and Fucker Carlson interviews for the rest of their lives and retire comfortably.

But on the whole, nothing would actually change

I think cops letting them in was really the best case scenario for them. Even then, all they could do was some pointless shit like putting their feet on Pelosi's desk.

January 6th revealed a terminal naïveté of US civil society that we can ordinarily only speculate about. The absolute child's understanding required to believe power works like a game of Duck Duck Goose. You have the CHUDs, ultrapatriotic nerds with constitution wallpapers in their living rooms marching into the Capitol to wrestle power back from the 'deep state cabal' only to discover it is just a fucking building. Then you have their mirror image in the Liberals. Multitudes who agree with the premise that they're playing a game of Duck Duck Goose and that they almost lost. A deep rooted naïveté, not just among Internet cranks, but among high echelons of the punditry.

It’s true and kinda gives me hope during an eventual conflict scenario with chuds. Like think about the GWOT, Jan 6, hell even these new wars. American high command DO NOT HAVE A PLAN. They just don’t, they enter conflicts with the absolute bare minimum of information and intelligence and then try to take institutions of power. I really think that mentality has trickled down into the general population and they think that’s how wars are won. But the thing is America hasn’t won a war since WW2.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And, it goes without saying, but to say "America won WW2" is pretty charitable. Like, it's basically a participation award.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Pretty much. But that being said you can still see a level of operational coherency that you just don’t see in the post WW2 era for the US. Like in general you could believe that the average GI involved in WW2 understood what they were doing and what their objective was. But that just doesn’t exist in wars like Vietnam or the GWOT. Like you can watch interviews with people involved in those conflicts and they could not discern why they were being told to hold this hill or that village past the point of they were ordered to do so. It’s been a running theme I’ve noticed and I think that mentality has made its way through to how the average chud thinks about war and how to “win”. That’s why I think the Jan 6th people acted the way they did pretty much.

I mean, they beat the Japanese in the Pacific. Not an easy feat

The social organism has no idea it's a social organism.

Papa John’s would prolong the occupation by feeding the occupiers.

I forgot about that

january 6 hot dog stand

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I imagine they would have got bored and left eventually.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Republican Senate decides President if pence left the building.

You know, standard sandbox rules every American can understand.

I had pretty much entirely quit the internet for about a full year leading up to Jan 6th but I had to make a new account here when it happened because I knew it would be the only place online that understood how fucking funny it all was. I still barely use the internet, but it seems like this is still the only place that accurately sees the day for what it was. Like come on a raging hog tased himself in the balls TO DEATH and the libs still can't laugh at that shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I wish the "tasing himself in the balls to death" story was true because it's funny as hell, but unfortunately it's not.

Still funny that chuds are so out of shape they die from just fucking standing there.

I hope they make it a tradition, I love it when right-wingers get thrown in prison because they try to flex on tinder by confessing to stupid crimes during one of the lamest insurrection attempts ever

we should charge the capitol tmrw, sounds funny

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We should start celebrating it the way the British celebrate the foiling of the gunpowder plot.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

So we burn images of the Buffalo Shaman in effigy like some chud Guy Fawkes?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Don't forget... it's also nearing the same time as the similarly-Trump-esque riot in Brazil

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

We're like a day in front though

As far as coup attempts go it's probably the lamest failure of them all

It’s up there in sophistication with the plans of using one motorboat full of mercenaries to overthrow Maduro
