Yes they damn well were affiliated - they belong to the Republican Party or at the least were follow travelers. To the extent that they voted, they would have voted for the GOP, though I am aware that many who invaded the Capitol HAD NOT VOTED IN THE 20202 ELECTION !

But as was stated here, the GOP is an extremist organization. Members of the GOP, like T****, T**** jr, that duffus from Alabama and Ghouiliani, incited the GOP mob. Quite simple.

I’m just waiting for the indictments.

That is why we can never let up, never take our foot off their throats. No more trust, no more “give them a chance”. Never forget.

They are shrinking in numbers:

All they are going to be left with are angry extremists who do not vote. They voted for Tp because he’s Tp and he’s not a politician. They don’t like politicians or the GOP necessarily.

Time will tell. Radio listeners got called to the tent revival meeting & showed up. I hope as Cheeto declines the center will disperse. But, honestly, I fear that is not so. This was built on the larger affiliation of white supremacy, patriarchy, & fear of those others that has existed in this country for a long, long time.

Conservatives love to pretend that they are the best and brightest heroes and patriots…aging Men of Steel and Prom Queens. Why pay dues to an organization when you can claim the limelight exclusively for yourself? The key words here being “pretend” and “why pay dues.”

Most of these people were middle aged and older. I really do not believe most of them will ever do anything like that again.

We’ve had angry white people since the South fell and it hasn’t destroyed the nation yet. Don’t think it’s going to now that we’re finally trying to face our past.

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting side note. One of the honing grounds of stochastic terrorism was #gamergate.

First one without T****. Every day under his maladministration was a repeat of the day before, stupidity and cruelty.

True. And most of them are having trouble understanding what has happened to them. Being seen as insurrectionists isn’t going over well with them.

Just 9% are unemployed compared to 25% of the 2015–20 group. Many are business owners.

The only “grievance” these assholes have is that they have to share the country with people who don’t look like them. Lock them all up for 10 or 20 years. Fuck them.

Your previous post has the key to the path forward, if I can be so bold. I had said this before…

In 2016 we were not as “woke” as we are now.

And yes, we cannot let up. In that sense, Biden, temperamentally, could be a great asset to what has to take place:

Diligence and alertness.
