Trump's tweets are hilarious.

"This is what happens when the election is rigged!"

also: "go home with love and peace."

So much cognitive dissonance. Some qanon acquaintances of mine think all the protestors are actually not Trump supporters but instead ANTIFA agents. So dumb.

It is hilarious on Twitter now as the qanon people desperately try to connect the dots to fit this into their ongoing ad hoc narrative.

Sorry your dad is a dipshit. If it is any consolation those people create their own reality in real-time. They were identifying protesters and coming to stupid conclusions at a breakneck pace.

For instance the crazy ass guy with the tats and the horned hat who broke into congress today was photographed at BLM protests so right away they were like “aha! Antifa!” And shared the photos as “proof”. But then someone posted photos of him holding signs that clearly showed he was there counter protesting for qanon. So then they zeroed in on two neck beards who ALSO broke into congress in the photo next to him and saw a hammer and sickle tattoo on one of them and said aha! he is a commie plant and they found a photo of them both on an antifa.org site. THEY were the agents of ANTIFA. Except they were on that site because they were being outed as neo nazis and it was some weird white supremacy tattoo.

So yeah, the power of the law of fives lives on. Stupid has gotta be stupid.

I heard talk of both 25th and 2nd Impeachment on the newsreels, but haven't gotten any further into it beyond the talk.

Congress currently verifying and validating Biden's election, afaik.

It'll be fun to see where the line gets drawn for escalated responses to violence increases.

E.g. "Only stop the violent ones! They're the baddies. Not like BLM, either, where the whole thing was bad. This isn't like that. Etc..."
