Oh lmao they plan on doing another J6 before the election. He can't help but blurt it out.

The Nazis didn't get it right the first time either.
Don't let the right wing's clown act get your guard down.
this is a great reminder.
Hitler was sent to jail and THEN became the Hitler we all know and love today.
Hitlet was like 30. Trump is like 85. I agree with you, but I'd say it's a coin toss Trump drops dead by July 6, nevermind January 6, that fat old fuck. Not sure he's going to mount a comeback.
I'm not really worried about Trump specifically so much as the movement he's unleashed. Cult 45 is going to lose their fucking minds when he finally dies... he could literally choke to death on Putin's dick on live TV and it'd still be pitched as some kind of deep state hit job that merits retaliation. This shit doesn't end with Trump.
I hope you're wrong. Sure, some in this movement are die hards, and there will always be a supply of batshit crazy candidates for them to cling to. Many caught up in MAGA are not die hards, they are caught up in a personality cult, and when the personality is gone, they will abandon it, too.
I believe Russia has been cultivating Trump since the '80s, and he was a household name before he got into politics though. Someone like that will not be easily replaceable.
His inevitable fat fuck death can't happen soon enough.
I don't think Russia cultivated Trump as potential political figure (at least not until 2015), but I agree with everything else you said. I don't think winning in 2016 was Trump's initial goal when he announced he was running; I think it was just another one of his grifts and to gain publicity.
FBI if you fuckball clowns are listening THIS TIME...DO SOMETHING
They won't. They'll probably march with maga, you know, being cops and all.
You don't see police beating KKK members for the same reason you don't see Batman beating Bruce Wayne.
although I'm pretty sure Batman is insane, like, he's batman with bruce as the mask, not the other way around any more. Full-on Gollum.
I could totally see him having a smeegol/gollum moment and punching himself.
I don't know why, but I can't upload the picture, but here's a link to the image.

Canonically that is his "real" name. Bruce Wayne is the mask.
Well, not just the FBI, please. But yes, send them in to start making arrests prior to the shit really happening. But preemptively set up the National Guard to let those that plan on fucking around, to REALLY fucking find out this time. Not just one Ashley Babbitt.
Last time I remember so many things he said right before, and me thinking "is he going to stage a coup? He's pretty much saying he's going to scare a coup but Naaahh, even trump can't be THAT insane.
I was naive, but why the fuck was the FBI, DHS, etc naive on this?
