Granny Danger Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Don’t know if it’s been mention on here before, but there’s been a spate of police officers who were involved in protecting the Capital Building who have committed suicide. This is the fourth one. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/03/kyle-defreytag-us-capitol-attack-police-officer-dies It’s hard to know if they were other issues involved but that seems to be a disproportionately high number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be a coincidence in these cases, but there will have been a number of people who've had their ideas about America shaken by the recent popularity of fascism, and just how easy it is to forment and support a coup with absolutely no consequences for the people at the head of the movement. I don't think anyone would be terribly surprised by the possibility here, but a lot of Americans have an almost fairytale, child-like view of their country, and they'll have found all of this devastating.

welshbairn Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It was a cushy job for retired police officers, the most some of them had to cope with was a tourist trying to nick a memento. Then the shit hit the fan. There were probably others who sympathised with the rioters and turned a blind eye, then found out what happened to colleagues who tried to do their job. Then all the chain of people above who delayed assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boisterous tourist group, I believe one politician described it as, a few months after literally shitting himself during the siege. It's going to happen again, and it'll likely be worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Having Trump still in the White House after he'd lost an election and just switched most of the top Pentagon and DOJ jobs can only happen once in a lifetime or in a Hollywood B movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worry is that, while Trump is still the figurehead, dozens of figures throughout the Republican Party have outed themselves as being absolutely OK with overturning democracy so long as it puts them in charge, and millions and millions of people are sympathising with them on that. And it's not even a new phenomenon - they've all been gradually whittling away at it for some time, with their ridiculous voter district gerrymandering and voting restrictions in areas where the opposition have strong support. They'd just no idea they could get away with doing it so openly until Trump came along. The Republicans will absolutely be back in charge in four years time too, and the top priority is to make sure they can't be beaten again, regardless of election results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend, a very intelligent man who has spent a colossal amount of time investigating the US election and he is convinced that Trump was robbed. He’s not a Trump fan but is certain that he won. I didn’t mind Trump on quite a few issues but I am quite happy with the result. Strange times!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
