The President of the United States was throwing a rally and, furthermore, we now know that Trump's people coordinated with groups like the Proud Boys. That's not exactly spontaneous or lacking centralized organization.
Also, I 100% guarantee you that if it hadn't been MAGA, there would have been bodies on the ground well before they got to the Capital steps. The people in charge right now are the ones who are pro gun and ok with killing people they disagree with. They are also the ones who would argue for executing people for treason because that's what the constitution says.
It's not that a violent revolution couldn't happen, but there has to be something or someone to rally around and there just isn't yet. No one with the clout to actually pull this level of support has gotten to that point yet.
8 million people keep showing for No Kings... not sure why you folks keep ignoring this
8 million people across 2,700 locations, almost all non-violent, to protest....
Do I need to refer you back to the original meme or do you actually think protesting counts as doing something in the US? Protesting hasn't been effective since Republicans learned they can just ignore you.
That's what I expected. Learn some history.
