If that happens, I don't think the turnout will be anywhere near the same as it was before.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It’s easy to complain about trump or pontificate about January 6 and its probable replay.
Ammunition is going to get more and more expensive from here on out, go buy some bullets you think you’ll need before they’re prohibitively expensive or unavailable.
Been saying the same. The fascists are here, now. Worst case, I bought a bunch of ammo while it was cheap.

Am I supposed to be afraid of another small enclave of idiots making gigantic asses out of themselves on an international stage?
Why hint? He should come right out and say it! Stop being such a cowardly loser dude, own it, tell the crazies what you want them to do in detail!
And risk his own neck? He'll let gullible idiots take all the risk just like before. He'll only show up if they manage to succeed.
How people are willing to follow, let alone risk their lives over this lying coward.
Yeah but I want him to go to prison for realzies this time.
That would be fantastic and would dissuade future wanna-be dictators.
What's wrong with a Tourist Visit? Or was January 6th NOT a Tourist Visit?
Yea… we know. Really trying hard to not live in FL before November.
Waaaaahhh
