With Trump excommunicated from the web, his supporters who stormed the Capitol going through draconian sentences, and the Nationwide Guard itself being combed for potential Trump loyalists, the FBI warned state-level authorities that “armed teams” of Trump supporters are readying an “rebellion” on legislatures in all 50 states, starting this weekend.

Statehouses throughout the nation upped their safety, as anti-extremism “specialists” amped up the menace to the media. But by Sunday afternoon, it grew to become clear that both the FBI and the media overstated the menace, or the Trump military was standing again and preserving its powder dry.

In Georgia, solely two armed protesters confirmed up on the capitol in Atlanta, whereas no demonstrators in any respect had confirmed as much as many of the nation’s statehouses by mid-afternoon. In Florida, the FBI arrested one self-described “hardcore leftist” on Friday, for allegedly trying to recruit comrades to assault a pro-Trump protest in Tallahassee on Sunday. Nevertheless, even when he hadn’t been arrested, he would have had no targets, as no protest materialized.

President Trump has repeatedly referred to as on his supporters to keep away from violence, a name they seem to have heeded because the Capitol Hill riot.
