That’s just the appetizer ... then they will relentlessly prosecute him as soon as he is out of office.
On the whole, I agree with your observation. However I will point that great upheavals, including the American Revolution, have been instigated by a relatively small percentage of the populations in the affected nations. It does take time...
They have already started it.
It will not go well for them.
They did not ever want to. The riot just gave them a face saving opportunity perhaps that was what the whole the was for.
These conditions are extremely new also, to the point they sound like a sci-fi dystopian story when you list them. So maybe civil unrest just hasn’t happened yet in one of the few places were these conditions exist. But given my own understanding of human nature, I doubt we have seen a fraction of what will be potentially tolerated when so many are unused to privation and physical hardship as well as being so entertained and spiritually deficient.

Interesting analogy
The media and big tech is very powerful now, more than ever before. It’s scary.
Need the t-shirts, hats, banners, mugs, prints of the oil painting with him shaking hands with General Washington, etc.
“if convicted, Trump could never hold federal office again”
They want him out of there NOW
before he can retaliate. At this
point, Trump still holds the
power of the presidency. He could,
If he chooses, take down the entire
cabal. The traitors are acting
like scared rabbits.
If he does make a move to take them
down, it’s the Dem voters, BLM, and
ANTIFA, that will be burning things
down. Those on the patriotic side
will be on defense.
Good points...If a Biden, Pelosi, Schumer etc. vengeance ride ensues for a long enough time, coupled with an assault on the 2nd Amt., there could be serious and fast moving consequences.
The fact that one protester died from being shot and 3 others died from heart attacks and being trampled suggests that our obesity rates are too high for CW2 to be much of a fight.
I think they are probably too smart for confiscation any time soon, it’s one of the few things that people will possibly fight about now.
My prediction for their gun plan is they will just keep things going down the cultural slope like it has been for the last 100+ years, while keeping everyone fat and entertained. There is no confiscation for a very long time. They pass their legislation against importation, manufacturing and new purchases and wait for the guns to be turned in or registered as required as the decades roll on and on and the generations pass. Eventually nobody will bother to get off the virtual reality couch when they do come pick up great grandpa’s dusty guns.

America's well-being would be even more seriously threatened if they are that stupid. I can only pray they are not. It will be more regulation and taxation to discourage gun ownership and manufacture/sales. Only the SCOTUS stands in their way, not a comforting thought,
What can I do? In the face of the coming storm, what constructive actions can we take to conserve what works and protect ourselves? Here are a few actionable solutions anyone can adopt at a personal or local level.
Find your tribe. Network, meet in person. Social media can’t censor what you say in private. This also helps you emotionally, since you’re meeting with people who support you instead of mistaking the digital lynch mobs for what matters.
Preserve conservative institutions like churches, schools and clubs. Fight social justice infiltration or pressure to submit to liberal political demands like, “you really need a BLM lecturer in here, you’ll be good if you throw up our political symbols”.
Educate. Teach your kids your values at an early age, by reading stories that share your values. Don’t let the kids go to drag queen story time or social justice story time. Protest if the school or daycare does this, or if you’re not able to do that, take your kid out and discuss the protest with other parents. Abilene Paradox – people wrongly think that the official dictate is what everyone agrees with because no one says anything against it.
Buy books that explain the conservative worldview and defend it like those by Dennis Prager. Buy books that explain why liberals and conservatives are different without demonizing them like Jonathan Haidt’s works. And start book clubs reading these books. Hello, tribe!
Fight any attempt to add social justice to codes of conduct. For example, the National Association of Realtors just implemented a policy where you can be fined or expelled for “hate speech”, public or private. Other organizations have weaker versions of this, but expect it to ramp up.
Law, medicine and social work already have rules regarding this, equating trust and respect and empathy to liberal values - so you can’t get licensed if you don’t agree. Fight this, if you don’t want to be kicked out of professional organizations if you don’t pass the liberal political litmus test.
Hire conservatives, because businesses are firing them. Assist those who have been fired for their beliefs.
2ndvote.com allows you to find conservative and neutral businesses that share your values.
You can even sort by category (restaurants, groceries, hardware, retail) or values (pro-life, 2nd amendment).
Do you like the local or national conservative talk show hosts? Buy the stuff they’re hawking, and especially use the reference or discount codes they provide. This will tell sponsors that this sponsorship is financially important to them. And that helps keep these shows on the air.
Clean your room. Sort yourself out. You can’t fix the world, but you can improve your own life and situation. Read Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University books. Get out of debt. Save up an emergency fund. If Biden’s cronies crash the economy, you’re in a much better situation. And you’re in a Christian group that can be the start of your tribe, or you can arrange classes at your church or with your networking groups to bring everyone closer together.
Encourage Sanctuary Cities/Sanctuary States on any issue you support. Second Amendment sanctuaries already exist. Pro-life Sanctuaries are far fewer but could spread. Support the groups that got these policies passed, and encourage such movements in your area. You may not be able to change federal tax and immigration policy, but you can try to preserve free speech if someone can implement a First Amendment Sanctuary law at a state level.
