Where in your severely handicapped reading comprehension skills did you come up with "because you don't like him"?

 

Imagine being supportive of a President, former or otherwise, who is an obvious security threat to this country, was responsible for insurrection and not being intelligent enough to know that hanging is a viable punishment for treason. Imagine being that completely clueless and totally in the bag for a con man. Wow, people might start to get the wrong idea about such a person, begin questioning how sharp they are etc.

No....you really didn’t.  

Yes....I really did.  When was the last Presidential hanging??....

 

I couldn’t remember either.  He said it because Trump triggers him.   And that’s fine.  We all have our trigger points.  Just call it what it is.

You're either really struggling with this or purposely skewing what was said.

 

When was the last time we had a President that incited an attack on our government and could be a security risk to our country?

To be fair Trump has never really led anything...

Good summary of why lesser charges have been brought so far and what some of the more severe charges actually mean.

Insurrectionists  are becoming more radical as they are being squeezed.  They are becoming more and more like Middle East terrorists in their planning and communication.

Liesa Norris got a panicked phone call Monday from her brother. He told her to buy a ham radio.

The radio, he explained, would be one of the few ways they could communicate once President Donald Trump launched his plans to take permanent power.

 

"We were dancing around the subject, and then he just brought up that on the 20th, you know, the truth is going to come out," Norris said. "He was just going on and on about how we needed to have ham radios because we're not going to be able to talk on regular phones and everything is going to be dark."

Trump has no such plans. But in the fractured QAnon community, which has turned to a variety of smaller messaging apps and YouTube to keep spreading conspiracy theories, evidence-free reports of a nationwide blackout and impending martial law Wednesday have become a last stand for true believers that Trump will be president after Inauguration Day.

NBC News reviewed the social media accounts of Norris' brother, part of a sea of QAnon accounts that have become increasingly divorced from reality since the Capitol riot. Most of the accounts have expressed a belief that Trump will declare martial law and execute Democrats on Inauguration Day as part of the cult's long-awaited doomsday.

Extremism researchers are calling some of the accounts "Parler refugees," named for the conservative social media network whose users are stumbling upon increasingly militant and radical information streams on smaller, unmoderated messaging apps and online forums. Parler has been offline since early January after internet service companies cut ties with it. Twitter also banned 70,000 QAnon accounts this month.

Meili Criezis, who studies white supremacist radicalization at the Global Network on Extremism & Technology, part of a nonprofit organization that works to prevent extremists from using online platforms, said she noticed explicit recruiting by white supremacist militias of what she called "normie," or previously nonradical, Trump supporters on Telegram after Parler's removal.

"In white supremacist and neo-Nazi Telegram groups, discussions have centered around strategies to infiltrate pro-Trump chats and 'red pill' what they have termed as 'Parler refugees' with carefully constructed narratives and propaganda," Criezis wrote in a recent report. ("Red pill," in this sense, means to radicalize online users with far right-wing views.)

Criezis said militia groups were "really ready for this flood of new users" onto services like Telegram, where they had built audiences of tens of thousands of users before the Capitol assault.

"I've seen some Trump supporters kind of fumbling onto Telegram not knowing how to use it exactly, and it was really concerning, because it's such a huge recruitment pool," Criezis said.

One extremist group on Telegram even created a "red-pilling guide," which included directions to "strike up friendly conversations with individuals followed by a pre-constructed message" through private messages. The guide tells recruiters to identify with potential targets for radicalization over their support for Trump and their shared fear of threats before demoralizing the targets into believing that the solution is violence.

Criezis said radicalization often starts in larger militia spaces on Telegram, like one of two groups run by the far-right extremist group Proud Boys, "where pretty much anyone is allowed in.

And this is why they need to be labeled domestic terrorists and locked up before they continue to recruit.

 

There are good people being led astray by these fools. They don't deserve to have their lives ruined because someone wants to cosplay as a latter-day revolutionary.

Looks like Lincoln had twice the number of protestors at its capitol.
