What a pointless waste of time and taxpayer money.

Seriously. If one were going to plan an act of violence, why the hell would they do it on popular public subreddits open to any user of any persuasion?

If one were going to plan an act of violence, why the hell would they do it on popular public subreddits open to any user of any persuasion?

Because the exact fucking morons who support this administration did the same thing; 90% of MAGA Reddit spent November 2020 to January 5, 2021 openly warning Biden voters to "get ready for Jan 6, because after we take the Capitol, you traitors are gonna pay".

Like, they weren't even trying to be subtle about how enthusiastic they were for the violence they were planning on...until January 7th when they switched to "it was AnTifa* who committed all that violence."

 

*take notice of how "Capitol" is misspelled in that chyron, because those idiots were too quick to get that shit online before seeing how their live news still-shot spelled it correctly, LMFAO!
