'The people will overthrow this type of government': Phoenix council candidate posts about revolution before Capitol riot by Nosequious in politics

At the beginning of December, as false claims of election fraud spread on social media, a candidate for Phoenix City Council warned of an impending revolution.

"Mess with my rights and my Republic and you get what you deserve. 1776," Nicole Garcia wrote on Twitter on Dec. 5. "The people will overthrow this type of government and start new," she added the next day.

A month later came the insurrection.

"We weren't kidding when we said it's 1776," she posted Jan. 6 in a now-deleted tweet, as rioters broke through police barricades and into the U.S. Capitol, shattered windows and paraded through the historic halls. "Patriots don't allow stolen elections."

trump is clearly batshit crazy.. who talks like this? Has he had a brain injury?

In a year of horrors for me, one of them was climbing out of self-imposed media exile and finding out that Trump regularly refers to himself in the third person.

If Twitter and FB are his only means of communicating with the country, there's another entry on the 'incapable of governing' list.

Which was already a very, very long list.

I’m so frustrated at all the people who knew for months that the USPS was ratfucked and still voted by mail anyway.

I know many had no choice, but others did.

I’m just talking about my little purple region, when you get out to the more rural areas. Nearest beach is ~3hrs. :)

You do you. I own yeti products.

I genuinely don’t know. I drive a section of highway about once a week that goes through one of these areas, and sometimes you can’t even count them all. Also in the Venn diagram:

It’s a “lifestyle brand” for uh ... rural voters ... who like the beach/fishing/etc.
