Honestly I'm surprised the riots didn't start immediately

That would require them to leave their keyboards.

I had the same thought. I was preparing for the Proud Boys to try marching around Copley Station again.

u/gravitas_deficiency - were you standing at the back when the gravitas was handed out, by any chance ?

I was, to my chagrin 🙂‍↕️

I figured all the people who had the nuts to riot were already in prison for Jan 6, so we'd be fine for at least one election cycle.

trump doesn't pay those actors enough to actually do the riot, and he can't tell the police to start it through back channels right now.
