Haven't posted in a while to avoid all the fucking retarded CCP shills. Here is a video as a massive fuck you to anyone who said "you won't do anything".

Currently loading magazines, faggots.

And this is just crazy.

Were you at the failed coup attempt, Brad?

Please, Brad cried to the DTRPG mods when I needled him there about a review he left. You think he could be at a scene like that without a case of diapers in one hand, and his mommy's hand in the other?

That's kind of sad.

Well I think we've finally seen the end of the majority of Trump's prior support.

My parents are staunch Trump supporters, and have been for 4+ years. And this was the point where they finally, FINALLY were able to condemn him and regret their decision to support him.

And if they reacted that way, I can only imagine that response is happening across the nation tonight. Because they were hardcore supporters. 30 years of listening to right wing talk radio, constantly arguing with those who disagreed (in a logical and reasoned manner). And this was the day they decided enough was enough and they couldn't support him anymore.

I don't think he can successfully get the nomination ever again. I think this was, finally, the breaking point.

I hadn't thought of that (your first point) and you are probably right. He'll always have his worshippers, but I think he'll lose more and more of the garden variety of conservatives who, in the end, believe in having a somewhat democratic society.

Only in his character sheet.

I think those garden variety conservatives will enjoy what is coming down the pike and regret their support of Trump at their leisure.

BLM and these deranged "patriots" are the same thing. Anyone defending this is a hypocrite.

Protesting (even with some rioting) and attempted insurrection are hardly the same thing. I hope that each of today's traitors are convicted and get the full 10 years in a Federal prison. As they deserve.

Why don't you defund the police now bitches.

We watched for eight months as actual fucking insurrections took place in leftist-controlled urban hellholes. And NOW you drag out your 'omg this is terrible convict all dese traiters'.

I hope this was worth it. The next guy won't be Trump. He'll most likely be Pinochet.

Have fun with that.

I guess the people get the government they deserve. Just a bunch of bickering children on both sides, while the politicians do the bidding of the rich & powerful.

That doesn't really sound like much of a "guess" to me. It's more of a basic level reading of the situation at present, and if the "guess" is that it will continue, I put it in with guesses like "I guess the sun will come up tomorrow."

Right now the peaceful divorce looks like the best option for all sides.

To be fair there is an actual difference between those protesting actual injustice, and those attempting to undermine democracy in furtherance of that very injustice...

I cannot express how absolutely and utterly PROUD that I am of every patriot who stormed the Capitol today. TODAY showed the entire world that American patriotism still lives.


Leftists, RINOs and "moderates" can all fuck off.

Frankly I'm shocked to realize just how many British subjects are part of the RPG Site.  The way everyone's so shocked about this you'd think you all didn't fight a war to overthrow a government that wasn't serving you.

Making the King a head shorter is an old favourite British pastime but before Usians time though.

"Now Trump will finally lose his support"

You do not understand what got him elected.  People who like the post-1990s GOP may split their support, but those are largely the well-off who've benefited from their policies.

And that group is getting smaller by the year. 

Trump won because he tapped into something the already existed.  His enemies want to think if only he hadn't done so, that energy would lay dormant forever.  That's fantasy.

We'll see what happens next.  It won't surprise me if it doesn't take long before having to pay an extra $1 per shirt in COGS is seen as glory days.

If people are this angry now to react as they have over voting, run through a thought exercise of what the day after attempting to impose "mandatory gun buy-back" looks like.  If Trump wanted to be Caesar, he could pull more people into the streets tomorrow than that which toppled governments in Georgia (the country) or Ukraine.  You want to talk strikes?  Ask yourself who the truckers, plumbers, and construction workers voted for.

Outside of the top 10% (those that vote red and not blue) what I'm seeing everywhere is a lot of people wanting him to do what he's not been willing to do.
