    I’m not underestimating fascists

    They said, immediately before underestimating fascists…

    Money helps, but these idiots really think they’ll overthrow the deep state so 5k in credit card debt doesn’t matter to them.

    That’s more than enough for them to take a week off work and drive to wherever trump tells them to show up. Likely with guns or explosives.

    Even if 99% won’t do it, that 1% of the dumbest trump supporter is still a lot of people.

    You’re underestimating their stupidity, desire for violence, and complete detachment from reality.

    And that doesn’t work out well historically

      I am underestimating none of those things. I fully expert lone wolf nutcases to continue their plots. I’m stating that the organizational infrastructure that was there to help guide them during the Trump era is now gone.

      I understand a continuation of a grand conspiracy is somehow more comforting than the reality that fascist movements are already plotting what post-trump action looks like, but I assure you, the grand conspiracy stage is finished for the moment.
