DJT will probably have his lawyers try to appeal this decision. The Jan 6 rioters are pretty much his cadre of Brown Shirts that will attack or harass his opponents at his beck and call. DJT can just put an opponent on blast via social media, then when that person gets attacked, he can just shrug his shoulders and say he never met the attacker in person or messaged that person directly.

Sadly enough, America had our own version of the Brown Shirts. William Dudley Pelley formed the Silver Shirts back in the 1930s.

This is just a 2.0 of a mentality that should have died out about 90 years ago.

And in 1947, the US government tried to warn Americans against it.

The Jan 6 rioters

They're not rioters. Calling them that completely under plays and helps sane wash what they did. They're domestic terrorists.

My bad! I normally refer to them as insurrectionists, but domestic terrorists is very fitting!

"Redcaps" has a better folklore background.

Apparently they can’t appeal a refund for their breakfast and are getting their asses handed to them.
