Storming the capitol was not a thoughtless action but an honest reaction. Given that people have been censored on all platforms for suggesting the exact same thing that the other major political party has been crying about for 4 years, what did they really expect to happen? In my view, this makes any and all violence that occurs as a result entirely the fault of the media, the tech industry, and the Democrats. Oppression is the most degrading form of violence. It's not just a cause of social unrest, it's literally a guarantee of reactionary violence.

For real though, this may be the only remaining legal option. The democrats are promising to stack the SCOTUS and push statehood for PR and DC. Meanwhile, they continue to drive policies in their stronghold states that are driving their constituents to move to more affordable, Republican-majority states (and, of course, take their political leanings with them). There's a reason Georgia and Texas and some parts of South Carolina, etc., are turning purple or blue. IT is NOT a coincidence, nor a "failure" of Democrat policies. This is 100% by design.
The biggest threat from the political left is that while the Republicans are content to gerrymander ridiculous congressional districts, the Democrats are very actively attempting to rig the system on a MUCH larger scale. Their goal is not to stack the odds in their favor, but to redefine the political balance of power into a single-party system (even more so than it already is with swamp rats and corporate influence abundant). They are tired of competing and want to simply end the tit-for-tat of politics and voting, and install themselves as the only viable option. If they make good on their promises of stacking the SCOTUS and adding 2 or 3 more hard-Democrat states, the remaining options to save the Republic will be few.
I live in one of those states. The state has mostly been turning blue because of three factors.
The first is super low corporate taxes bringing in tons of businesses, and then those businesses bringing in out of state workers who fit their corporate culture. I was at a coding bootcamp in a podunk town near where I live a couple years ago when I first noticed this. I couldn't believe how openly political everyone was there, and that they were all, not just left of center, but Clinton/Obama style corporate neoliberal Democrats. I'd never worked any place where politics was even a regular discussion, but here it was just everywhere.
The second reason is middle class white women have basically been brainwashed in this state by the mainstream media to a ridiculous degree. Many of them cannot discern the difference between propaganda and news. They don't notice the bias that has become layered into all reporting in the past 6 years or so.
The third factor is that there a lot of African Americans in the state and they are voting more, and while I think more of them are becoming Republicans than ever before, the majority have been led to believe that all Republicans are racists because the handful of racists left in the state are mostly Republican and that has historically been the case.
But I still think there was fraud going on the election that was responsible for the results. Biden is everything they accuse Trump of and worse, and I can't believe that most people would vote for the party of lockdowns, censorship, and race riots in a state that really has avoided having many of these issues so far.
What? Your plan is to roll over and take the sodomy? These people want you DEAD not subservient. When they take power they wont even let the SJWs live given they are trouble and useful idiots.
I disagree. Subservient is just fine, as long as you keep your mouth shut. If they outright kill everyone they hate, they'll provoke a more significant response and drive away their moderates. As long as you're subservient and keep your mouth shut, it's better optics and keeps everybody nice and docile.
You are assuming these people are thinking straight. They are not. They are blinded by hate and venom. They just want us dead that's it.
That's what I'm thinking. 1984 all the way. Be ready to avoid the thought police and find my top secret lil momma...
