    I think there were way more than 0.1% who knew how bad it would be.

    During Trump’s inauguration, my dad was making jokes about when the “Reichstag fire” would happen (jokes because my MAGA father was looking forward to it).

    Remember also that Trump was saying the 2016 election was being stolen up to the moment he won, so back then it was pretty clear he was not going to go peacefully if he lost in 2020.

      His crying about “losing” 2016 because of the popular vote was garden variety narcissist shit. I’m not sure anyone predicted that he would summon a fucking mob of lunatics to the Capitol, at least not in 2016. By the end of 2020, yeah, it was damned predictable.

      There was a great tweet not long before the election, “Ever broken up with a narcissist? Y’all are going to see some shit.”
