Before Election Day has even arrived, the “Stop the Steal” movement has reemerged in force, with some of the same activists who tried to overturn former President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss outlining a step-by-step guide to undermine the results if he falls short again.
If the police are known for anything, it’s protecting their own.
When the mob heads for the Capitol again, there’s going to be an imperial fuckton more police there. When the mob attacks the police again, it’s gonna be “find out” time, which I fully expect will include National Guard mobilization.
Eh. They should hold congress in the place it’s meant to be held.
If any sort of armed insurrection approaches the Capitol next January, they will be aggressively subdued and arrested. The reason it wasn’t done in 2021 was because Trump wanted it to succeed, and so refused to do anything. Biden doesn’t want an armed insurrection of MAGA idiots to swarm the Capitol; ergo, there will be sufficient crowd control and defense, and QRF guard units will be deployed if the situation demands it.
I don’t think crew-served weapons are going to be used unless someone turns up with a goddamn killdozer.
Tear gas is almost certainly going to me more than enough. And if there are armed elements who actually try to take a potshot, they’ll be targeted surgically, not with area weapons. This is the US, not Russia.
Idk, I doubt the police are just going to arrest themselves…

No playing games this time. Full Nation Guard presence the moment shit starts going down.
They should just hold congress somewhere else just for that day to fuck with them.

And if the MAGAts do bring guns I suspect the National guard will have at least one Browning M2 spill fascist blood once more.
