Evening pro-Trump Social media update (1/19/21):
-Still no organized violence plans (good!)
-Much disappointment/anger for Trump after speech
-Plenty still holding out hope for QAnon Storm/Plan
-Shocking amount of talk about myPillow. Like A LOT
I don't know what's next, but…
If I had to speculate tonight, I see 2 paths:
-Trump gets back on socials, holds rallies, over next few months, inspires them into violent frenzy. Expect attacks on media, prosecutors/states coming for him, "enemies"
OR
-Trump stays mostly quiet, base crumbles into disgruntlement
No matter what, there's a serious domestic terrorism threat to be addressed. This should be a priority of the intelligence community for years to come. Optimist Jen thinks Trump will mostly be deplatformed and fade away. Dystopian Jen worries.
Tomorrow will be great, though. Tonight, I'm going to bed with the optimism of tomorrow.
Ok since so many of you are asking about the pillow talk, here’s a bit from ONE post on telegram w/ 1,417 comments!!
This is in every group &site I’m looking at. I like how the original post decries “cancel culture” and then the comments are all about canceling Kohl’s and BBB 😂
Also, there are lots of coupon codes being shared in the comments. Gotta get that discount!

Good morning, everyone! There are still no big organized plans for action among the pro-Trump social medias today, 1/20/21. I'll keep monitoring for small threats. But mostly, I'm going to be live tweeting the meltdown of the QAnon conspiracy theory crowd. Join me! 1/
As a reminder, today is the last day that The Plan can be executed/The Storm can come. If you haven't been keeping up, that means it's the day the military steps in and arrests the Satan-worshiping cannibalistic pedovore int'l child sex-trafficking cabal in Congress & the media
Lots of stimulants, medication, and other substances fueling the Q crowd today. Interesting how their conspiracy bits leak in here, too
Tuesday 1/19/21 check-in on Pro-Trump social media: tl;dr -still no plans for big organized violence leading up to Inauguration
-Today is National Popcorn Day which is the day QAnon supporters think The Storm (massive arrests) will happen
-I'm worried about what comes next
1/
Ok so the good news is that the paranoia continues to strengthen and there seems to be no plan for any organized action, protests, riots, demonstrations, or anything today or tomorrow. The consensus is to stay home. Horay good news! 2/
Some people are getting antsy, but almost all realized there are huge risks and no benefit. They thought they could force Congress to keep Trump in office on 1/6. They know they can't force anyone to appoint Trump tomorrow. 3/
If you will indulge me a little more, I'd like to share another element of the conspiracy theories surrounding inauguration, because we're hearing a LOT about Trump becoming the *19th* president of the United States
(no threats of violence here) 1/
OK SO - this truly bizarre story says that in 1871, the US ceased to be a nation and instead became a corporation that belongs to the city of London (attn @SadiqKhan)
AND if you see an American flag with gold fringe, well that represents the corporation NOT the country 2/
This, they say, is why the rich are privileged and the average guy can't get ahead. They do not explain why the City of London would do this to us, their American Corporation, but this is how we get the victim narrative introduced 3/
Monday morning check-in on pro-Trump social media.
For those worried: the overall tone is increasingly one of resignation OR hope that some external forces will keep Trump in office. There is no organization of protests, rallies, or violence. This is good.
BUT… 1/
…the situation is very precarious. As I said on Friday, they are looking to Trump for guidance. He's been largely silent, which is good, but there is civil war-level anger among many supporters. If Trump were to call for it, I think many would take up arms 2/
His followers feel like victims. The poor white males… 3/
Let's do a Friday afternoon check-in on what's going on in pro-Trump social media
One of the most dominant themes is paranoia. Anyone who talks about a rally, protest, march, or other action gets accused quickly of being part of the FBI/antifa/deep state 1/
That said, this is not quite right because… 2/
…the Virginia Citizens Defense League is organizing a caravan for Lobby Day on the 18th. Their event was armed last year (photos from 2020) and they explain how to show up armed this year, even though they don't have permits to hold an official event vcdl.org/LD2021Routes/ 3/
