    Did they?

    Was it fairly articulated or was it the usual grunting and screeching?

      Word for word (from what I can remember).

      We didn’t go far enough on January 6th, next time we will end democracy.

      Yes. They said it out loud multiple times and over the past few years they have started saying lots of quiet parts outloud. We have a decent chunk of this country who are supportive of and helping to install a dictator.

        Wasn’t that meant ironically, though? I saw the clip that quote comes from and it really didn’t look like the guy was saying it with a straight face.

          Have you ever known one of those people that “jokes” to say what they mean? Or does the “Haha, I’m just joking, haha… unless…?” thing.

          It’s cliche af at this point, but still true: When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

          When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

          When you show you’re trying to do a thing, repeatedly, year after year, and then say it out loud in front of all your supporters… Tone does not matter in the slightest.

          If a gang of convicted rapists who have served multiple sentences said they would rape the moment they’re let out of prison, would you be saying “obviously they’re not serious” in response?

          I think not.

            I’m pretty sure none of them were convicted for overthrowing governments (yet). So your example is hyperbole.

            I do not want to see any of them get any sort of power, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let myself get riled up over what some dude merely said.

            Considering how riled up everyone seems to getting over what was said, I inclined to believe it was said specifically to get a rise out of their opposition.

            In other words; you’re being trolled, and they’re having a laugh.

              their actions on Jan 6th, the Nazi marches with literal 3rd Reich chants and the political refusal to denounce them. refusing women health care causing an increase in mortality rates.

              you can’t participate in fascism and say /s just kidding bro.

              In other words; you’re being trolled, and they’re having a laugh.

              they aren’t trolling, they’re laughing that they’re getting away with it and the system refuses to do anything about it. the cruelty and the power to enact that cruelty onto others is the joke to them.
