Panic in America

We might be a bit screwed here in the UK at the moment but something always pops up that highlights that our essential Britishness remains untouched.

USA reaction to voter fraud rubbish: Red neck militias/vigilantes hoss up at polling stations armed to the teeth with assault rifles in a clear attempt to intimidate voters.
UK reaction to voter fraud rubbish: "Use pens" :rolleyes::)
It's a nice thought chicken but I would question it
 
These replys and insane 'fear' of Trump and trump supporters are hilarious. Ive been watching this civil unrest since day one and the ONLY violence Ive seen has came from these Biden supporters, and no I dont just mean 'hangers on' looting shops. These 'armed militias' just stand there not really doing anything, there was only Kyle Rittenhouse who got a molotov threw at him, got shot at then got attacked by 3 people including another armed guy pointing a gun at his head.

I honestly cant understand how people can fall for all this crap yet totally fail to mention the reams of violence, intimidation and general crime (including burning down multiple businesses, throwing bricks at police from roof tops, smashing up and shooting at cars of people who get caught up in it when just driving). Its insane.

Tell you what else is insane is how everytime I log onto this site it slows to a crawl making it un useable, if I log out it runs perfectly. That wouldnt be admin trying to quiet my voice because I have a different opinion would it? Ive used fmttm for years and if thats what they are doing then its disgusting and just pure censorship.

The FBI and DHS would both disagree with you. The following extract is from an article published October 9.
Violent white supremacy remains the “most persistent and lethal threat” to the US, according to federal law enforcement ...

FBI and DHS officials warn about growth of right wing extremist movements

Yeah some baseless article full of buzz words, 'boogaloo boys' ffs. Remember when they used to tell us all the muslims were out to get us? Also yet again the article totally ignores the months of violence and destruction that have already happened, instead concentrating on some created narrative that 'might' happen.

What is a 'white nationalist' anyway? Someone who is white and supports their own country?

I think you should send your meticulously-researched findings on what constitutes white nationalism to the FBI and DHS. I'm sure they'll reverse their assessment based on your opinion.

As for the boogaloo boys not being a threat, federal records show that:
Since 2019, at least 31 people affiliated with the boogaloo movement have been charged with crimes, including the killings of two security and law enforcement officers, a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and incidents related to the George Floyd protests.
 
Walmart stopping stocking guns and ammunition in the half of stores that sell them because of the unrest.
Still very easy to buy a gun. I live in New York and was able to get a pump action shot gun ( for clay pigeon shooting) in less than 20 mins . Had to show my DL and they called up for check.
Harder to get a handgun , at least where I live.
 
Hopefully they are. I really wonder what would happen if Trump loses and somehow decides to "enable" them in one of his twitter tirades.
I'm almost certain this will happen. He is going to lose, it's just a matter of by how much. Then Between Nov and January he will do as much harm as a can. I said when Trump got in, there will be major civil unrest problems and probably blood on the streets because the man unashamedly will ruin other peoples lives for his own amusement or benefit. Once Biden is declared victor, he will refuse it, start legal action to get 'lost' mail votes 'found' and other conspiracy nonsense. He will whip up his cultist followers and some of them will lose the plot and shoot people. There will be 3 months of tension until he finds a way out of the white house without being arrested. Problem he might face is that once he loses, even if the Republicans retain the senate, his support there will evaporate because he can no longer protect them. So he might end up impeached end of November to stop him setting fire to the whole damned country.

Possibly. However we don't burn lorry loads of lamb on quaysides, blockade ferry ports with fishing boats and 'yellow vests' are for making sure you're not run over by a forklift. If the weather looks 'iffy' we can't be @rsed to riot and we DEFINITELY don't do armed insurrection.

However given the media mantra 'if it bleeds it leads', which inevitably distorts things, I do actually question what the situation is really like in the US when looking from this side of the Atlantic. Let's face it the American press had us living in fear after a terror attack, Katy Hopkins:poop::poop: told the US ........... “People are cowed. People are afraid. And people are not united.” Pretty soon there was a strong sarcastic UK response on Twitter that trended higher than news of the attack, and pictures of someone running away with a half drunk pint in his hand started doing the rounds.

I know I've said it before but , as you know, the USA is a huge place. With social media running the news that most people seem to view, who knows what will happen. One just has to hope that it's just , if anything, pockets of trouble.
The bigger, more long term concern, imv , is the fact that we are even having to have this conversation.
 
Yes social media is a problem. It often makes, what are in reality, the views of a tiny minority look far more prevalent and widespread than they actually are. The danger is this seems to embolden people openly express stuff they normally suppress, a sort of herd mentality kicks in especially amongst the terminally thick. I saw it explained somewhere that the numbers on twitter are in reality a small minority of the general population and the nut jobs a small proportion of that small minority.
