Just in case you had any doubt about whether he intends to stage another coup attempt if he loses.
This is disgusting, to state the obvious.
But also a really dumb electoral strategy, so all good!
Its not election strategy at all, this prep for a coup attempt. He knows he’s lost, and now he’s whistling off the back porch prepping his dogs to dowhat he is too dumb and fat to do on his own.
At this time, everything is an election strategy.
I’m currently in the “blue no matter who” camp. Harris has momentum, but Trump still has an edge in the electoral college and that’s what actually matters.
Controversially, I’ll say that: there are no undecided voters. The person that will win is the one who can actually get their supporters to the polls. Last time around Trump got 74 million people to vote for him and as much as Lemmy/Reddit whatever site you visit seems to think that Harris is winning, it’s all about voter turnout.
“We are all domestic terrorists.”
So why don’t we, idk, lock him up until the election is over?
Couldn’t the FBI… Idk
Arrest attendees based on probable cause relating to January 6th?
I thought most of them were told to stay away from each other.
Love the optimism, but in no way has Trump “already lost”, nor do I think he believes that. Please make sure you and your social circle vote, volunteer, and donate to get people to the polls!
Eh, he may not know it know it, but he fears he has and this the plan b being brought closer to the fold.
But yes of course vote.
Actually winning 270+ electoral college votes was always plan B. Disrupting the counting/certification and getting put into power by a one-vote-per-state poll in the House or coronated by SCOTUS like in Bush v. Gore (which three of the current justices worked for Bush on, BTW) is 100% plan A.
Trump hasn’t lost yet - not by a long shot - but this definitely is him preparing Plan B. This is basically just him signalling to his most loyal fans that if things don’t go their way in November, they’ll be richly awarded for another Jan 6 - only doing it “right” this time.
The coup is 100% plan A. This has been Trump’s strategy since at least 2000, if not even earlier than that. Their efforts to insert partisan saboteurs into the elections bureaucracy and erode public trust not only didn’t stop after the last presidential election, they didn’t even slow down.
I disagree about this being Plan B. I honestly think this is exactly the plan and that he’s trying to steal more money from his base while building up their bloodlust.
If he wins, send the mob to pacify his opponents. If he loses, send the mob to disrupt the elections.
I also think it’s a matter of time before he finally instructs his base outright to go to the polls and make sure people are voting for the right candidate.
I think there are easier[1](https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2024/04/15/steal-election-lessig-president-law) ways[2](https://washingtonspectator.org/countering-the-threat-of-a-contingent-election/) to steal the election than a violent insurrection.
I don’t know why people keep saying “steal the election.” I’m sure that’s a soft goal, but as long as they can foment a civil war, profits are guaranteed.
Sounds like he is helping the FBI out on a sting operation in exchange for a lighter sentence.
Totally not weird
The funds from the event will reportedly go toward a Capitol riot legal fund, according to the video.
lol, suuure they will.
Just pushing away anyone on the edge. Gotta love it
awww, he didn’t care about me for 3.5 years but now before the upcoming most-likely-to-lose elections he does, so we’re good -these traitors probably
Republicans have been pretty enthusiastic in defending and absolving their fascist street thug friends. Abbott recently pardoned Daniel Perry, a guy who showed up to a BLM march and shot a woman pushing her boyfriend’s wheelchair, on the grounds that she appeared threatening to him.
Trump judges have been generally more lenient to J6ers when possible, leveeing minimal sentences when they cannot simply acquit the defendants.
And these guys have received millions in money from private far-right donors to finance their legal defense.
Doesn’t hanging out with felons violate his release conditions? Where’s his parole officer?
Trump can say he hid in the bathroom with his classified document collection during the event.
Trump will host an ‘awards gala’ for rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6
Didn’t the courts already do that? I could have sworn there were some big winners already.
“Accessory after the fact.”
Oh my gosh! This sounds like it could go badly for his campaign in so many ways.
I don’t get it… is he gonna have it IN the prisons, or just give the awards in absentia?
“And the award for Most Cops Punched goes to… guy in a 3 Percenter shirt with the poorly-hidden swastika tattoo on his arm! Come on up, fella!”
Who also has a thin blue line sticker on his lifted truck that never sees dirt or uses the flatbed, because everything with them is performative and signaling membership of a tribe…
Sounds like the Nazi Dundies.

I could’ve sworn I read somebody here suggesting this exact thing a few days ago as a joke.
The top nominee for the weird as fuck party doing shit that’s weird as all fuck. No surprise there.
