'We Have Plenty of Guns If Trump Loses'

If that was an insurrection, I'd hate to actually live through one. It was a joke. No one was killed by the way, though a few people did commit suicide afterward, which is terrible. Actually, one person was killed - a Trump supporter. Bet that really upset some people.
Yes, the redneck renegades were feckless failures, but attempt and intent still matter.

I'd also be worried about an organized assault. Jan 6th was so disorganized it could only fail. If they act as one it'll be a different story.
The MAGAs won't have many direct targets to attack. And government buildings will likely have security.. My concern is that MAGAs will attack homes of anyone with Harris signs. And migrants. Anyone who is an enemy of MAGA.

I wonder if Magas have given any consideration to exactly
what they could productively accomplish with guns?
Attack the Capitol?
Attack the White House?
Go to Springfield to massacre Haitians?
Go to inner cities to kill blacks?
Go to Dearborn MI to kill Muslims?

I don't envision any scenario other than random violence
against groups they hate.

A Neo-Nazi woman was arrested for planning to attack the power grid with large caliber weapons. Prosecutors are asking for 18 years jail time.

They would get their place in their leader's recognition and indirect proof that he was right that the country is falling apart.

No clue to the irony of their actions or even what the word means.

The problem is that we've already witnessed words turn into action. For example, the Haitian immigrants (who are here legally) have faced threats and harassment due to conservatives spreading false accusations, and continued to do so even after proven false.
Since you identified them as conservatives maybe you should call the police and give them your inside information.

Who else has been slandering and demonizing them? Logic deduction is your friend. I understand why you fear it, though. You fear your worldview unravelling if you were to apply it.

Well call the police! You broke the case wide open! Your a hero!

Trust me , I would if I could. How about you?
I like doing what I can for others and they seem frequently happy to do similarly in return.
There is a slogan that sort of summarizes the idea attributed to Karl Marx, though apparently the idea traces itself at least as far back as the Bible as in: as Chat GPT says.

Acts 4:32-35: This passage describes the early Christian community in Jerusalem living in a state of communal sharing. The believers “had everything in common,” and “from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.”

2 Corinthians 8:13-15: Paul speaks about the principle of equality, stating, "Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need."
These biblical passages reflect a communal sharing of resources and concern for meeting everyone's needs, which aligns conceptually with the sentiment expressed in the Marxist phrase.


“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”

I know it sounds rather socialist or communist, but it does seem to have a reasonable pedigree.

At least one cop was beaten to death.
And, yes it was an insurrection, albiet one that failed because it was a bunch of individual hooligans running around doing whatever with no real plan or goal other than believing storming Congress would keep Trump in office.

There have been at least two successful insurrections in US History. Granted it was at the local level, but they did indeed kill many black citizens of Tulsa as well as destorying nearly 40 square blocks.

Actually, no police officers were beaten to death on January 6th.
