Ron Filipkowski, a criminal-defense attorney in Sarasota, Florida, wasn't surprised by the violence at the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection.
By then, he had tracked enough social-media posts from right-wing extremists in his spare time to see trouble ahead. He shared warnings on Twitter from the Proud Boys and one of the Oath Keepers who talked of "blood lust" on that day. The activity had picked up, he said, after President Donald Trump urged supporters on Twitter to be there.
"This is their Super Bowl," he tweeted about the Proud Boys on December 30, 2020.

With honest american conservatives like this maybe there might be a smidgen of hope for the GOP!! Too bad the majority have went over the edge with populism, nationalism, and then trump fascism. And FYI, just look it up and you will see how much donnie has taken from Adolph.
