I'm increasingly convinced that Flynn was just appeasing the crowd:

"Oh of course, Minnamar, yes, I've, yes, cheer for me."

It's entirely possible no one in this exchange had any idea what anyone else in this exchange was talking about, but RAH RAHHHHH!! Trumpism in a nutshell, really.

Let's keep thinking they aren't serious.

It's not that I think they're unserious, but it's entertaining watching "leaders" of the "MAGA movement" poorly walking the tightrope of making acceptable statements while still catering to the idiotic true believers. Mike Flynn probably had no clue what went down in Myanmar, but he can read the room. Fuck him, by the way.

You're right to be concerned that another Jan. 6th is still possible. You're also right to blame the GOP for tacitly endorsing future insurrections. I still don't know what to do except to get out the vote.
