Yup they’re going to try to rally around this. His stupid little fist thing he was doing while the secret service was around him is scary. It’s plays right into the fascist playbook and his narrative as a victim/brave knight enduring arrows for his common people. I’m sad to say this, but it probably would’ve been better for democracy if they had succeeded. I think he would be easier to handle as a martyr than this tough guy act he’s going to assume after this 😩
It may bring MAGA nuts a few steps closer to the violence they’re eager for an excuse to unleash. If they believe they’re under immediate attack they will feel entitled to attack back. That said, I’m not sure how much difference this will make in the end. Eventually they’ll get violent anyway because they’re fascists.
Well I think we can all be certain there won’t be any huge downwind effects from this 😐

Then where was the gunfire during their attempted coup at the senate building?
I think the level of threat has been greatly exaggerated by those who stand to profit from the chaos and division.
114 officers reported injuries as a direct result of their attempted coup. 5 later died from injuries they had sustained.
And he’ll overplay his hand, freak everyone else out which drives voter turnout and he loses. Hopefully.
Maybe he’s going to be pro-gun control now.
