    I predict much MUCH more of this to come, and some of it more successfully.

    We’re experiencing a very deliberately engineered attempted coup, in which a cabal of mutually interested parties including, at least, christian conservatives, corporations and wealthy individuals, are attempting to take advantage of a dangerously mentally ill presidential candidate and the angry and spiteful people to whom he appeals in order to effectively destroy the remaining vestiges of American democracy and implement an oligarchic autocracy (arguably that’s just replacing a de facto oligarchic autocracy with an explicitly codified one, but anyway…)

    Quite obviously, one of their strategies is going to be to kill, or better yet from their perspective, wait for one of the lunatic politicians angry and spiteful followers to kill, anyone of any note who might oppose them.

    And I predict they’re going to do quite a lot of that.

        Thanks for the clarification, and yes - I, to my regret, failed by not getting the entire story before posting a satisfying but ultimately off-topic rant.

          It’s literally in the title.

      How the fuck do you have 28 up votes for spouting unfounded bullshit without even reading the fuckin article. The 18 year black male is orchestrating a coup by carjacking a US Marshal sitting in his car outside the justices house?! This is your conspiracy theory. I only point out that theyre black because you honestly think any of the SUPER FUCKING WHITE fuckheads that stormed the capital would be able to influence or intimidate an inner city youth into being their instrument of death?!? Plus its not like he’s fuckin dead, Flowers is in custody and will face charges. Fuck I have not read anything this fucking stupid since the Pizza Gate shit and r/The_Donald was banned from reddit. I am genuinely embarrassed to think we might vote for the same candidate and that there are close to 30 other idiots in your corner of stupid.

        Eh.

        Yes - I was wrong, and yes - that was stupid.

        All in all though, I’d rather be someone who makes mistakes than a raging asshole (who likely makes at least as many mistakes anyway).

          And yet you’ve left your original comment up and unedited. You essentially made a big, stupid mess and then when someone pointed it out went “Oh oopsie poopsie” and walked the fuck away. Clean up your shit.
