Trump Hints Another January 6 Could Happen If He Loses the Election
The former president made multiple chilling warnings during an interview with Time magazine.

Donald Trump hasn’t quite let go of the possibility of utilizing mob violence if he loses the next election.
In a sprawling interview for Time magazine, Trump hinted that leveraging political violence to achieve his end goals was still on the table.
“If we don’t win, you know, it depends,” he told Time. “It always depends on the fairness of the election.”
And from Trump’s perspective, that’s winning rhetoric. According to him, his incendiary comments supporting a mob mentality, his early warnings of forthcoming abuses of power, and his threats to be a dictator on “day one” are only inching him closer to the White House. “I think a lot of people like it,” Trump told Time.
You're viewing a single thread.
Not really, because he's not in power this time.
He can't hold a protest in DC without approval and given how 1/6 turned out, nobody will give him approval if he loses.
I mean, he could tweet about how people should show up anyway. I don't know if it would be effective or not, but knowing how rabid his fans are, it could lead to something. This is just more of his plausible deniablitity shtick. "Oh, a juror I don't like very much lives here. It sure would be a shame if a bunch of folks harassed or threatened them into doing what I want"
Dude lost 4 years ago and still has a fanatical base that swears it didn't happen.

Last time Trump ensured that police and so on couldn't prepare. Plus denied any assistance on the day. That alone is a huge difference.
I hope so. The alternative is they show up armed this time.
Yeah, and then you get stopped and arrested on gun charges before you even get there.
It might be good if something like that were to happen - if thousands and thousands of them were to get arrested on the way to some dumb insurrection that donnie egged on long before they are able to get anyone killed. Get more of them in the prison system to help cripple their movement.
Unfortunately, last time a lot them were simply allowed to go home.
Yes and then where hunted down and arrested later on. 600+ convictions is not nothing.
True. I wonder how many they missed, but yes.
It's interesting to note the difference between the way an insurrection is treated vs. the way someone selling loose cigarettes...
I believe there is a whole website dedicated to jan6 people that the FBI would like to talk to.
So if you have time, scroll there and if you know one of the people, the FBI has a contact us form.

Well over 500 people still on the list. That including the 600+ convictions means over a thousand people wanted. I would imagine that half these peoe could be found if ran through a dmv database check.
And this time around he can’t prevent deployment of the national guard
