Kal-El814 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Still waiting for all those 2A stanning, well-regulated militias to volunteer and help ensure the peaceful transition of power, or for groups like the NRA to condemn an armed, seditious mob threatening the lives of elected representatives and the disruption of constitutional process.

osxmatt Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I expect we'll see quite a few protests or riots over the coming days in state capitols. This is who I follow closely for information and video on Oregon capitol protests. I'd love to see some links to your favorite locals accounts. https://twitter.com/MrOlmos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air_Delivery Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I just read that LA Times article on it being our "Beer Hall Putsch" and I totally agree. I've been saying for awhile that I don't underestimate the cult anymore because these fuckers are everywhere. Seemingly normal people in positions of power have been radicalized by the human centipede of right wing media and online sources. It goes back to what I said that Biden needs to do a full court press to root this shit out. - Bring back the fairness doctrine - Hold "opinion pundits" accountable for blatant lies - Regulate social media companies into aggressively going after misinformation - Audit every person with a security clearance with emphasis with looking at their online activity. - Set up a FBI task force specifically for rooting out white supremacy in law enforcement and the military. Also emphasize looking at online activity. This disease needs to be stomped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social research shows that when people are more anxious they are more likely to be accepting of ideas that do not confirm their biases, and are more open to conspiracies and the like. In conjunction with rooting out all the shit like you suggest this would make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do believe there is a direct relationship between COVID the civil unrest this country has had over the past year. It wouldn't surprise me if it also accelerated the spread of right wing extremism. Having too much time on your hands + stress can be a potent mix. The problem though is once it is in place it is unlikely to go away very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem though is once it is in place it is unlikely to go away very easily. I was listening to an NPR story where they found a subreddit of QAnon stories, people whose family members went off the deep end. One of the constants was the lockdown because they had so much time on their hands. Quote UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: You know, she slowly crept into it during the Trump administration, but especially with lockdown. CORNISH: Their parents stuck at home with a lot of time on their hands, Web surfing deeper into QAnon specifically. TYLER: He gets home from work, and he puts his earbuds in, and he watches these videos on his iPad until it's time to go to bed. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: She's spending 16 to 18 hours a day consuming this. CORNISH: And the result of all this is a detachment from the facts. ANNIE: It just very quickly became clear that she, like, did not think that Joe Biden won the election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 This also matches the kind of anger from previously nice people that I've witnessed: Quote TYLER: When Joe Biden was confirmed president, I texted him. And I was intending to be good-natured, but I texted him, you're not going to be a little crybaby snowflake, are you? (Laughter) And he just texted me back [expletive] off. And, like, he's never said that to me before. I feel like I had an argument with @Alpha1Cowboy about how the craziness was always there, while he said it's skyrocketed. I take back what I said as I've seen one too many previously normal conservatives go batshit crazy since QAnon became a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarSolo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Like I said, if he wasn’t too broke to buy a plane ticket, I’m pretty sure someone I grew up with flew in from Texas to go to the Facebook Putsch. And yeah, other people I grew up with got crazier as this thing went on. Everyone is buying into Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The problem is decades of right wing propaganda telling people that only the right knows whats best and literally everyone is out to get you. "They're coming to take your guns" "They want to kill your grandma and all your babies!" "TERROR BABIES!". Doesn't take much to go from MSM is leftwing biased, to this guy Q on the internet says the deepstate is filled with demonrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've been primed for years from all the mainstream hate thrown at Democrats. How many conservatives were triggered in 2008? I didn't follow politics at all back then, yet even I heard of the "Thanks, Obama" meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
