A divided federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., upheld a trespassing charge and conviction Tuesday against Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin. The charge has been used against more than 1,400 rioters at the U.S. Capitol.
The government is worried about the insane backlash that would happen.
They expect and are probably right in that Jan 6 was just a small taste of what would happen if they tried it.
Remember that almost half of the country still supports R over D, and in law enforcement it is far higher.
This is why movements like the alt-right, who are prone to irrational decisions and violence need to be cut down from the start.
This can only really be solved by increased education, but due to the distrust and missmanagement of the US education system, it is hard to solve this.
As of right now I believe that the leaders are waiting for Trump to fade away.
Less than half. Roughly 1/3 voted for the orange plump ball in the last election. There will be less now, as many factions are seeing through his lies finally, even evangelicals.
The evil isn’t as big as it looks, it’s just loud.
Colorado ruled that he was ineligible due to having participated in the insurrection, and then the USSC ruled that nothing prevents him from running, only holding office, so they had to keep him on the ballot.
They didn’t actually say he can hold office, but they basically punted it to congress to declare that he can’t, and would need to perform a vote to allow him to hold office.
But Congress won’t do their duty, and the current house would majority vote to allow him to run because it’s fully of corrupt.
I still don’t get why trump hasn’t been disqualified under the 14th. Pretty fucking clear.

If only we had a hyper militarized police force - oh, right, tons of them (yes yes I know not all) prefer the fascists what a shocker.

While good, everyone, please vote.
The Silent Majority is neither the majority, nor silent.

The Supreme Court went out of their way to dodge the 14th Amendment question. Both during questioning and in their ruling.
