80 Cubans would be a better choice, but if circumstances are right, 70 people is plenty to make good on threats such as lynching the vice president.

Just because they chose a bumbling buffoon as savior figure doesn't mean they can be dismissed as harmless.

Still “80” only works when there’s a strongman/woman who rules by iron fist and it’s a powderkeg ready to blow. He or she is surrounded by enemies biding their time. That’s the only scenario where this “may” work.
Hard core seditionists who, when they entered the Speaker of the House’s office, decided the priority was taking selfies.
I thought the savior figure was the guy with horns and a fur cape prancing about on the dais?

Glad they got him. We were THIS close to the end of the US, I tell ya'.
