WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s calls for protests ahead of his anticipated indictment in New York have generated mostly muted reactions from supporters, with even some of his most ardent loyalists dismissing the idea as a waste of time or a law enforcement trap.

The ambivalence raises questions about whether Trump, though a leading Republican contender in the 2024 presidential race who retains a devoted following, still has the power to mobilize far-right supporters the way he did more than two years ago before the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It also suggests that the hundreds of arrests that followed the Capitol riot, not to mention the convictions and long prison sentences, may have dampened the desire for repeat mass unrest.

1. a false flag could be coming

If I'm Putin, and I can get away with it, I'm directing my agents in the U.S. to pull some violent shit over this, under the guise of right wing American terrorism.

Good lord!

4. that wouldn't be a "false flag"

Putin and right wing American terrorists are allies. False flag is a operation carried out to blame an opponent.

2. It's not a false flag, or supporters. What it is that former supporters are getting sick and tired

of djt's constant bickering and moaning. He never shuts the hell up.

Also, I think people remember the days of the original insurrection of 1/6, that the shock that such a thing could happen here in the US actually shocked people.

djt is over the hill and he's lost the momentum. Time that Desantis and /or the other GOP scumbags need to retire tRUMP permanently to the sidelines. That is, if the GOP ever wants the chance to win another election?

5. Of course some of his activist brownshirts are in jail this time.

And many of those among (or fearing they will be) the additional 700-1200 Capitol insurrectionists still to be indicted and prosecuted are probably also having...muted reactions.
