One of the most extreme members of the Virginia General Assembly, by almost any metric, has got to be Del. Dave LaRock (R). For more on LaRock, see:

On and on it goes. Now, Del. LaRock has shared the following extremist content on his Facebook page, adding his own comment that “[o]verturning democracy in America is not going to go well.” No, LaRock isn’t talking about Trump’s attempts to overturn a free-and-fair election, already certified by the states and the Electoral College. Instead, LaRock shares content that argues, among other things:
- That there’s “an engineered tyrannical coup d’état against not just President Trump but against the very ideal of democracy itself.”
- That there’s “no reason at all why America should not descend into violence and potential civil war in the worst case scenario, or simply lose all confidence in any future elections as a best case scenario — which can only and inexorably lead to the worse case scenario again.”
- That “[t]he foolish, spoiled, decadent, ignorant little children in adult bodies who are now, right now engineering the coup d’état to remove President Trump are playing with fire.“
- That “[t]he anger of Trump’s supporters is white hot, it is incendiary, it is real and it is entirely, eminently justifiable…”
- That “the anger of millions of armed Americans is being stoked to stratospherically dangerous levels and that these angry people are justifiably enraged. “
- That “the consequences could be catastrophic both for you, for America and for the world.”
The question, of course, is why Del. LaRock is sharing this content. Also, whether or not there will be any consequence for his insurrectionism.
