Far-right online forums are seething with references to potential violence and urging supporters of President Trump to bring guns to Wednesday’s protests in Washington — in violation of local laws — as Congress meets to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Many of the posts appear to be direct responses to Trump’s demands that his supporters pack the nation’s capital in support of his bogus claims that November’s national vote for Biden resulted from election fraud. Congress’s largely ceremonial role in confirming Biden’s victory has emerged as a catalyst for expected unrest that has D.C. police and the National Guard deploying on city streets to quell potential trouble.
Talk of guns and potential violence is rife on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, the conservative social media site Parler and on thedonald.win, an online forum that previously operated on Reddit before the company banned it in June after years of racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and calls for violence.
Trump’s tweet last month pushing baseless fraud claims and promoting the “big protest” on Jan. 6 — “Be there, will be wild!” — has become a central rallying cry.

Pravda’s got nothing on these Bolsheviks.
Obvious infiltration of the sites by leftists.
Not a good example for us Trump supporters to sport guns at this rally tomorrow. We will end up looking just like BLM and antifa. Not good at all.’
F U compost heap
BLM and Antifa will be carrying guns and wearing MAGA clothing.
agree...it’s not what we do.
“Talk of guns and potential violence is rife on the encrypted messaging app Telegram”
Apparently not encrypted enough...
And it’s all based on the reporter reading a single web site. Which I’d literally never heard of until reading the article.
Reminds me of the “alt right” hysteria in the liberal media back in 2016 and the identification of Richard Spencer as some sort of mastermind. Who most of us had likewise not even heard of until he became a boogeyman for the Left.
Anybody "sporting" guns tomorrow will be BLM/Antifa false-flaggers, but you know that, being a professional concern-troll and all.
Don’t worry WP - it’ll be mostly peaceful 😎
Goebbels is looking up and smiling at his disciples, aka the American ‘media’.
And the criminal, leftist media ratchets up their propaganda.
JoMa
I’d like to see the Antifa burn down the Washington Post.
Many of the posts ***appear***
Yes just like the news
“Obvious infiltration of the sites by leftists.”
Probably by WaPo, NYT, CNN, CBS, PBS and other lefty ‘reporters’ themselves. Any bets?
Tell me again about the violence on the Right, WaPo.
I wonder who can do more targeted damage in their riots? I think there would be a loss of windows on Capital Hill. Not one store will be looted.
i know we know this, but i repeat: guns are illegal in DC without a permit/license or whatever it is called
We obey law, unlike the Left
can take taser, spray, pocket knife
Are you calling me a troll?
