I think the bigger story is no protests

If I'm a republican looking to see if Donald still has a stranglehold of the base, the fact they aren't taking to the street in his defense pretty much tells me the support is much softer than Donald thinks it is.

I'd ratchet up the attacks on him. Blood in the water.

More than a few. MAGATs might vote for him, but very very few are now willing to risk their jobs, their freedom, etc for someone, who keeps losing his court cases. The handwriting is on the wall.

Daniel reads the words "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN" and interprets them for the king: "MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed ... and found wanting;" and "UPHARSIN", your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

I have always thought that the extra coin funded many of the ‘tourists’ that day.

They need their brownshirts to feel respected and "patriotic" so they will fight for their Lord.

All the tough talk about hitting the streets with guns if we Democrats were stealing the election turned out to be just that for the most part.

And out of 10s of millions who voted for tfg, only about a thousand or so attacked the Capitol on 1/6.

Just under a thousand charged and they are still looking for nearly the same number, so 2-3 thousand as a cohort didn't actually go inside the Capitol Building.

But it still shows that the number of diehards is very, very small.

There was a protest at Michigan's capital that day but out of several hundred thousand tfg voters who live within a couple hour drive of Lansing, only a few hundred showed up.
