Funny how they're calling for riots instead of going to the streets and rioting.
I wonder if they remember what happened to them the last time they tried that shit 🤔.

Pepperidge farm remembers. The crowd that was all about “back(ing) the blue” managed to kill a police officer and four of themselves.

Then Fox News refused to air spots the dc police wanted to put up. Fun fact

I didn’t know about that, but I’m unsurprised the fox “news” propaganda machine goes brrrrr.

Give them a break

Are you really expecting all the people posting this stuff to pay for the flight from Russia?

And the rubes who believe them here, do you expect them to exert 30 feet without their phones telling them what to do?

There are a lot of armchair generals on the Internet. Unfortunately not limited to the Republican side of things.

But the Republican ones tend to be bigger hypocrites since they usually condemn rioting when anyone else does it, especially if they aren't white.

?

These are likely the same ones that pushed 1/6 and spent a lot of time telling people to do it.

The reason they're still doing that, is they weren't the ones to actually show up.

They're not gonna stop doing it, because they didn't get any consequences from last time.

All they gotta do is keep making these posts saying someone should do something. And chances are some idiots will do it.

Like, remember that main old guy from American History X?

He got naive kids to do the dirty work, so he was able to spend decades doing it without any consequences.

For real life example, just look at Alex Jones. How long it took for him to even go to court, and how he's still not in jail or paying any judgements.

But he's still running his mouth and telling others to do the work.

This was abundantly clear to everyone on January 6th. It was so blatant that, at the time, most conservatives claimed the entire event was actually undercover BLM and "Antifa".

Then the convictions showed it truly was all Trump supporters, and now none of them are talking about it.
