Precursor chemicals are tracked way more seriously than before the OKC bombing.
Making a truck-sized bomb is pretty much impossible in the US atm.
There's gotta be somebody out there who has been slowly stockpiling since the early 90's.
"What do you mean 'why am I stockpiling propane tanks?' Jesus Christ, I just want TO GRILL" :grill:
"I got a really good deal of pressure cookers at a going out of business sale, so I just had to buy like a 100 of 'em. Figured I would just give 'em away for Christmas and birthdays until I ran out. Why do you Mr. ATFman?"
Came here to post this exact same comment. Even in the 90s, McVeigh had a bit of trouble getting some of the chemicals. It's a different ball game now, and McVeigh himself said a few times before his execution that he sometimes regretted it and wished he had went for an assassination plot instead.
I wonder in what form qanon will live on, or if it will just die out.
I mean, one reason it resonated was obviously to make people come to terms with supporting Trump, horrible man, almost certainly a rapist. But then they were given this myth in which suddenly support for him was something heroic, made you part of a struggle for good. The question is: with Trump gone, is the myth still necessary?
If anything, the Q shit’s only going to get stronger. There was always a cognitive dissonance in them claiming that the right was being kept out of power while their guy held the highest office in the land. Now that, in their view, the head of the satanic pedophile child blood drinking ring is in office, they can just go completely off the rails with the conspiracy theories.
We have QAnon believers headed to Congress. It's not going to die out. If anything, it's going to evolve into something else.
Qanon was just repackaged Christianity, either Q will replace Jesus or the evangelical GOP will move on to some other Christ-like figure.
People keep saying this, and it proves how little they understand Christianity. There are still millions of Christians across the country. Religion may not have the same significance it had 40 years ago, but it hasn't went away.
Honestly, I can't wait to see how the Q people will process this. It'll probably be just cope and even wilder conspiracies, but who knows
Hopefully he takes himself and a bunch of the ghouls out, maybe a cop or two.

didn’t you see the bomb threat in Philly? we are like rapidly approaching 1
It would be weird, who would they target?
It wouldn't be law enforcement right, so maybe not another Oklahoma City ? I haven't seen anybody talking about the deep state CIA/FBI doing anything nefarious...
The narrative might target the courts who keep throwing out Trump's lawsuits, though. That would be fucking wild...
I don't know about that.
The postal system was helping Trump by slow rolling the mailed in votes.
It wasn't until after the mail ins were seriously being counted that the numbers started swinging Biden's way right? There have been news stories recently about judges specifically telling postal sorting centers to fast track mail in ballots. It still frames the issue as "the judges were a part of the fraud" at worst and "the judges cost Trump his win" at the best.
It doesn't have to make sense. It's easy, there's one in your town, and it's been attacked in right-wing circles enough to make someone think of it.
Maybe, probably because I come from a conservative rural area and small town, but I don't see the local dude with head to toe Neo-Nazi tatoos shooting up the local post office of a town of 2000 people. Feels like it violates the "don't shit where you eat" philosophy and the majority of the town uses the post office for damn near everything so we're always there.
I could see the main sorting and distribution facilities being targeted or the mail carriers who drive the little white trucks themselves. Easier to go after some place that you don't know anybody with the target being the facility more than the people.
Now I'm curious if there's other Q-anon'ers who work in the postal services that would try some inside sabotage. I could see somebody attempting to pipe/package cake the internal works of a large sorting facility or have cakes sent out randomly to try to make people afraid of the post office.
It took the federal government massively fucking up twice to get McVeigh there, I doubt they do anything that radical.
God I hope not in my state, I have coworkers there and my office is across the street.
