I get a little too angry when I hear the Bannon audio, he talks about making trump a dictator. We came so close to losing it all.
It's uncomfortable, but I think everyone in the US (and people internationally interested in US politics) need to hear it. This was Trump's plan in 2020 and is his plan again in 2024.
We still might.
We're still a whole lot closer than I would like to be.
From a different source:
- “Make them riot!”
“In the immediate post-election period, while the defendant [Trump] claimed fraud without proof, his private operatives sought to create chaos, rather than seek clarity, at polling places where states were continuing to tabulate votes,” the motion states.
P5, who is described as “a Campaign employee, agent, and co-conspirator of Trump,” responded to a colleague’s mention of the “Brooks Brothers riot” (a group of Republican operatives who attempted to disrupt the 2000 vote count in Florida, given this moniker because many of the participants were young men in preppy, navy blue suits) and suggested similar unrest might occur at a location in Detroit, Michigan where votes were being counted.
According to the motion, P5 replied “Make them riot” and “Do it!!!”, voicing support for disrupting the vote counting.
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
