DC Unrest Megathread

[PSOL]

The paramilitary groups of the 1990s never dreamed of this moment getting not only as much PR, but such incredible popular support across the country. In a span of a little more than a decade since the Great Recession, what were once irrelevant loons used as a joke have become major in conducting attacks on government property from the Malhuer Reserve to the White House, active in terrorising the population from Ferguson to Charlottesville, and managing to have some relation with the police and the president against the Left and the Democratic Party.

Even if the current big 4 disintegrate under FBI operations against them–Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Atomwaffen Division, and the Proud Boys–the splinters will be even harder to infiltrate and destroy. While the true danger of all of this will take some time, as a significant amount of them are behind bars for the coup attempt, it is only a matter of when they get tired living under a Democratic Administration. If the Democratic Party is still in national relevance for the presidency by the late 2020s  and has a shoo in in to win in the early 2030s, by then we will see a cloud of terror not seen since Reconstruction.

FWIW: Tomorrow is another "big day" in the QAnon theory, and Congress has cancelled its session after receiving threats of an attack from a militia group. Several Twitter users are claiming to be in DC and preparing for "something" along the lines of a repeat of 1/6.

I sort of wonder what the next day Trump will definitely be inaugurated will be after tomorrow comes and goes and Trump is still in Florida

Correction/Clarification: Only The House is finishing work tonight.
We expect the Senate to still be in session tomorrow to work on covid relief.

Maybe it'll become "Congrats on your second inauguration President Trump! Can't wait to visit the new US Capitol in Palm Beach!"

I've been looking forward to March 4th for months. The QTards on the message boards I lurk on are becoming restless. They want to take matters into their own hands.

I've heard some rumors that some of them are now saying March 20th is the "real" date.  No idea how they came up with that.

From what I had Googled up on events that had taken place on March 20th, these things could be what Qtards could be most likely be referring to.

• Napoleon entering Paris after escaping from Elba island
• The founding of the Republican Party in Ripon, Wisconsin
• Douglas MacArthur delivered his "I came out of Bataan and I shall return" speech after the Philippines fell to the Japanese

QAnon in June 2024:

"Just wait guys! Trump will be inaugurated and take office again on July 4, it's the symbolic date!"

I feel like if we make it past the 2024 election with no new developments, we should try to pull the "no review once the next play has started" line, and just make it an argument about Bottlegate if that doesn't work. If there's anything that unites all Americans, it's hating on the NFL for a game that happened 20 years ago.

So for those of you wondering about the whole March 4th thing - there’s actually a really stupid reason for it.

The Sovereign Citizen movement is a group of conspiracists that believe that the US ceased to exist as a sovereign nation in the 19th century, after President Grant signed a law declaring DC a corporate municipality (altering how local government runs). They erroneously believe that the US was replaced with a corporation - and that any flag with gold leaf is a symbol of the US Corporation - which is property of the City of London.

It’s real dumb.

Anyway. Since the inauguration date was moved in the intervening period, they believe that it is not legitimate.

What has happened is that Qanon and the SCs have crossed over, with some people now believing both. They somehow believe that Trump, who is still in command, will return as President on March 4th, because that’s the day that inaugurations used to be held (before the date was moved up to January).

They believe Trump has somehow dissolved the US corporation, and will take office as the 19th President (all presidents since Grant (the 18th President) being illegitimate puppets of the Corporation).

All this is clearly ludicrous. But it’s an example of how Q’s repeated errors is only radicalising the remaining cultists further. They’ve been driven into a rabid fervour, and are desperate to see their demonic democratic opponents sundered. When that didn’t happen, they had to come up with a new deadline. Like any doomsday cult, their proposed judgment day is come and gone - and now they’re grappling with the cognitive dissonance.

If you want to learn more, I recommend the linked BBC article. Also, Travis View is doing some great research on the whole Qanon situation at large - his stuff is cynical, but well written.

If I’m ever in DC and meet one of the police officers who were present on 1/6, I’ll buy them a beer. They deserve it.

I'm hoping that it's just 4/20 lmao, because I can think of only one other reason that date is notable.

The MAGA cult committed a violent insurrection while listening to the Village People and Michael Jackson, that is a odd choice of music for the occasion.

There's some of that sure, but most of them don't believe in things happening on a particular date and dismissively refers to that as "date-fagging". I spend way way way too much time on the major Q board.

Either way, they will continue to believe their nonsense for a loooong time to come.
