Sounds like I need to go ahead and buy my plot of land in Colorado before the rest of this site does.
Headed up to our favorite spot in a few weeks.

It is getting more difficult to tell if you people are mentally ill, brainwashed, or just fucking stupid. I am guessing all three.
Prediction of my post

4 delusional responses
1 full on trying to be serious rant about suburban grandmas's attacking the capitol building. Lulz.
1 fragile pussy name call.

Our current plan is to stay. I’m hoping there are a lot of quiet people that have had enough of the GOP’s shit. I know there is a bigger liberal group in my neighborhood than what speaks up. Hell, there is a trans flag flying the next street over.
That said - We need 5 - 6 years before we sell and go. That’s if things go from bad to worse. My kid will be out of school at that point, so we can really go anywhere in the world. I really hope it doesn’t come to that.Our kid is the only reason we are staying for now. Born and raised in Austin so luckily we are in a bubble but I'm ready to leave and have a couple friends who are making the move to other states purely for political reasons.

A real insurrection would look more like riots, fires, defiance of the rule of law, politicians openly threatened, outlaws disrupting the daily lives of everyday folks.
Wait a minute. Where have I seen this before?
Jan. 6. We all watched that on Jan 6.

GQP on GOP violence is part of the platform:
Even though I'm all in on schadenfreude of the Rights FAAFO.... This? Fuck this.
*however, this might be the type of thing that forces the GOP to actually do something, anything to address the violence and angst they've fed over the decades.

No one says that they weren't. But it has been conflated to be the purpose of BLM (which is only to ask for a change to how police and other government systems handle race relations) rather than a subset of bad actors with their own agenda to destroy things. Additionally, a decent percentage of those rightfully prosecuted were those who were not part of the protests and there to make the movement look bad.
In contrast, the Jan. 6 insurrection was designed and implemented to stop a transition of power, against the will of the people (you know, our votes) thus stopping our democracy from existing after a couple hundred years.
Like comparing apples and hippopotamus.

Is MNL insinuating that Jan 6 was pre-planned with the blessing of some government officials? That seems relevant.

Life's little gifts that could end a Presidency in an instant. Remember we could have had Cheney as a President because of a pretzel.

He's no doubt trying to measure every word here and I'm not going to fault him for that.... But this is painful to follow.

I honestly thought the Koch bros had more money than what they afforded getting her.

I would argue that the sheer magnitude of the consequences of the Patriot Act alone have been more damaging to our country than 1/6 has been (so far). Not to mention the extreme reactionary attitude adopted by large swaths of our population as a result of that day. One could argue the Trump administration (and 1/6) are a culmination of the fucked up way our overall political attitude has shifted in the wake of 9/11.
However, like I said, we're still in the beginning of the beginning with regard to the long term consequences of 1/6, so time will ultimately tell.
I'd also argue that the Bush administrations actions regarding the expanding scope of military response, especially lies to justify, fed into general distrust of government (deep state and military complex). A major underlying theme to the alt-right is their justification for "burning it all down" to start over again. They think they are patriots fighting against a tyrannical government. All bad things can now be veiwed done by the boogeyman government (rightly or wrongly). See: https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3295595
Government reactions to 9 11 could be argued directly fed into the insurrection by amplifying distrust of government...... Along with the decades long marketing campaign by the GOP that government is bad.

Is she mad that the Capital wasn't prepared to battle antifa? Or a large tourist gathering?

I didn't do an exhaustive search, but it seems that there have been way more significant attacks attempted previously.
