Hmm… I wonder if that announcement may have any connection to these recent events.

Mark Meadows Says He’s Meeting With Trump And Shadow ‘Cabinet Members’ On ‘Real Plans’



Let’s just hope there isn’t actually substantial organization among these people. Worst case scenario is an existing Trump Shadow Admin that’s attempting to self-fulfill QAnon prophecies. More likely is more incoherent signaling to their deranged base to rile them up for something less sinister.

One of the more potent tools in the terrorist arsenal is the ability to provoke an over-reaction from the state they oppose. By provoking excessive retaliation, either in the form of direct violence directed at sympathetic supporters of the terrorist cause, or crackdowns on the general public that are broadly unpopular, the terrorists discredit the state and stand to gain supporters.

I suspect that this, rather than a Coup Mark II, is what the Republicult intends here. (If the "Republicans" do not wish to be America's foes, then they need to pay very careful attention to what is done and said here, and expel any of their members associated with the Trump  insurgency in any way.)

They're going to have an obnoxious, provocative rally, hint at treason a lot, and hope that they can get counter-protesters (unlikely, the left is broadly smarter than that) or law enforcement (sadly more likely) to kill a bunch of their sacrificial mooks, so that they will have a bloody shirt to wave moving forward. A secondary goal will be to provoke the Biden administration (or any other state or local government body) to crack down on them in the immediate future, so that they can scream "repression" when they're not allowed to preach treason and provoke violence.

Not really, as the truth is inconvenient to his narrative about American politics as the evil establishment elites vs. the populist down-trodden workers. Admitting that a whole lot of those sons of the soil are not sympathetic comrades-in-waiting but are actually brain dead, violent, psychotic, irredeemable terrorists and neo-Nazis/Confederates who are in a literal cult (of personality and otherwise) really ruins that fantasy story of his. Not so black and white after all, or if it is, it's the complete opposite of how he's always thought about it.

It's like a bunch Roman shoemakers thinking that those Huns and Goths on the other side of the river are going to unite with them to overthrow Caesar or something.

Insurrection 2: Electric Boogaloo? I sure hope not, but let's remember that Trump was the lynch-pin of the January 6 attack. There have been plenty of MAGA rallies since then but the ones without Trump have been fairly paltry in turnout and enthusiasm. He, and the timing, made 1/6 the perfect storm that it was.

City/Government officials should deny their ability to organize a rally in DC.

The D.C. government should require proof of vaccinations for public gatherings. Wink

That's how a cult of personality works.

There's no doubt that blaring coup plans over a public address system is clearly the best way to get the job done.  Smiley

My guess is it's a combination of two things:

1. He realized that the bulk of Trump supporters aren't secret socialists with economic anxiety.

2. He opposes a right-wing coup, but would actually support a similar coup attempted by a left-wing group. He might not want to look hypocritical if the time comes for a left-wing group to do the same thing.

Yes.
But it is superseded by being anti-terroristic and anti-insurrectionist (normal).
