I just woke up from a five year nap. It is just locker room talk. They would never disrespect the democratic process. Let me just read Wikipedia about last presidential election for a second…. Oh no oh no oh no nonononoo.
I (and many others) knew 1/6 was going to happen well before the date. They fucking broadcast their intentions loudly and publicly, but somehow the alphabet boys couldn't put it together? The math ain't math'n.
The chatter was much more specific, and I watched it spread from obscure channels to the wider net. I remember my girlfriend at the time mentioning that she had noticed the discourse on FB about two weeks out (I don't have an account) and mentioned how much more serious we should be taking it. We had been aware and plugged in for a while, but that was certainly a big indicator that it had reached critical mass. If two randos with regular jobs could figure it out, the feds definitely knew at some level.
