    The good news here is that past performance isn’t a good way of judging if they’re predictions are good this time around.

    The bad news is, it seems plausible enough a thing thst… I think he might be right.

    And I absolutely do not trust Johnson. He professed to have been told by Sky Daddy that he is like Moses. He believes he is acting with a divine mandate; and you just can’t reason with a guy like that.

      Yeah, that’s what concerns me. It definitely sounds plausible and I’m not an expert in the legalities of this, so from my outside (Australian) perspective this very much looks like a viable path for the GOP to take power. I haven’t followed much of Johnson’s activities either, but from what I’ve seen of him he strikes me as very dodgy… much like our ex PM Scott Morrison.

        it’s viable in the same way that Hitler rose to power. Jan 6 is a parallel to the Beer Hall Putsch,

        Though Trump never went to jail for it. it’s not really legitimate, and there’s no telling what would happen. I’m not convinced all the people saying ‘civil war’ will take up arms. They probably have a lot to loose. like their armchairs and shit.
