Let's be honest: if SCOTUS removed Whiny, there will be riots in the street

His supporters follow his example by violent protests.

And we should be ready for the general elections, regardless of who wins

And if they break the law, arrest and prosecute them.

We have to stop worrying about what a small, noisy minority would do.

Fuck them.

We have to face it, we’re screwed, the Republican party has cursed us with this man until he dies. And we have young people saying, “well I don’t know, Biden is too old and moderate”. At this point it’s kind of a comfort being old, knowing my future is limited to a few years if that

factor to look at. Taking him off the ballot now,(even though it's the right thing to do) would probably be the wrong thing. WE can kick his ever loving ass in November! He's the best candidate for us to defeat. Let's let the courts do their thing. (Smith has got TFG's ass in a knot) WE will give the FINAL BLOW in Nov.!!

They might drive their might pickups, and honk their mighty horns, and yell their mighty yells, and tweet their mighty tweets.

Until the law said STOP!

And then they would go back to their trailers and basements and homesteads and drink.

The sick fuck's tiny hands can no longer afford to buy militias and for-hire troublemakers. Some idiots would think "yay! at last the revolution is on" but would be looking around and realizing there is not as many of them as social media made it seem there were.

I look to the aftermath of January 6th as an example of what we could expect. As soon as they figured out that there was consequences, they all went into hiding and have rarely been seen, unless it was when they were getting arrested.

January 6th happened because they thought Trump would protect them. The majority of them no longer have those illusions.

There would probably be some isolated instances of violence, but that's nothing new.

if smelvis is on the ballot..,oh my, no riot...what is wrong with that picture..hmmm..

VOTE..GOTV...choice, an insurrectionist or President Biden..

Maybe the states can put insurrectionist beside stinkys name..thinking further what would be the designation..certainly not R..or I, maybe IN..

I do fear they’d look for revenge but against imagined enemies, and only the fringe madmen. Most of them like to be the victims so they have someone to blame their failures on but those failures are there for a reason. They’re incapable of and terrified of things like rioting. I know, J6. But that was actually not that many people.

but I do know that the RW justices own this either way by allowing shithole to do another J6 when he loses.
