The most chilling event of the 2020 election for me was when Trump told his followers at the debate to "stand back and stand by."
And now he's activated them to join him in DC on Jan. 6th. This is no general "I need your support, money, activism, etc." This is straight up "We're going to fight this transition of power, and I need you to show up and help me defend it."
...and I'm so irony-poisoned and bereft of any skin in the game that - fuck it - grab the popcorn.

It's not like I'm gonna counter-protest and risk getting shot on behalf of fucking Biden
