21 Million Americans Say Biden Is ‘Illegitimate’ And Trump Should Be Restored By Violence…
That’s only a small minority of Americans.
They would fit in a basket, if you know what I mean.

21 million people also believe Jesus wrote the Constitution, there are Pentium 4 processors in the COVID vaccines, and you can catch gonorrhea from a toilet seat.

Let’s not forget: if COVID doesn’t take ‘em first, they will all be voting in every election from now until the end of the Republic.
Our mission is to out-vote them five to one to make the world damned certain that these cretins are not in charge.

“Our survey found that many of these 21 million people with insurrectionist sentiments have the capacity for violent mobilization.”
Surprisingly 11% of those 21 million know the proper usage of “who” and “whom”. Which chaps my ass because I still can’t get it right. Then again I gave up on it in '69 or '70, so what the hell.

I have no problem relieving these people of their guns.

We have found that 47 million American adults – nearly 1 in 5 – agree with the statement that “the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.” Of those, 21 million also agree that “use of force is justified to restore Donald J. Trump to the presidency.”
Yeah, sure. I’m putting this in the category of a “Let’s you and him fight!” and not anyone serious about using violence themselves.
Which reduces the actual numbers down to the level of small-time antics by ammosexuals like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys which aren’t anything to get too worked up about. Or else a lone wolf Timothy McVeigh type that should be taken very seriously. The problem is when a lone wolf looks at polls like this, and thinks he has massive public support for a violent act.

Mike Flynn is a fucking idiot. They’re not putting the vaccine in the salad dressing - they’re putting it in the croutons. That way they can use bigger microchips along with it.

That’s a helluva lotta morbidly obese people riding Rascals that will be filling our streets. I have a feeling, though, considering their obvious and multiple COVD comorbidities, the virus has a good chance of slowing them down.

That’s a common misconception.
The only STD you can catch from a tractor seat is grainal warts.

Oh, stop it. If they start hitting ET levels, then be concerned, otherwise, there’s always a chunk of America that will believe in anything you ask them.
