    Default The insurrection meme doesn’t add up

    I reviewed the charges filed against the more than 200 people arrested for criminal misconduct related to January 6 and found only 14 defendants face any sort of weapons charge. Offenses vary; indictments range from possession of a “deadly” weapon on “restricted” grounds to assaulting a police officer.

    But so far, just two people have been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm—and there’s no proof either man “breached” the Capitol let alone threatened lawmakers as part of a coordinated, armed insurrection.

    ___________

    It was foolish of me—and I should know better, but I accepted the armed insurrection narrative at face value. Come to find out, there was no one *inside the Capitol* with a fire arm, besides the Capitol cops.

    Some insurrection.

    In fact, it suggests that these idiots were surprised they got inside as easily as they did. It raises the question of whether they even expected to get inside. Did they really expect to pull an insurrection with crude hand weapons and fire extinguishers? It’s a joke.

    The buried lede in this whole affair is how/why it was allowed to happen in the first place. But the ‘dangerous white supremacist’ angle was just too tantalizing for the democrats and the democrat media. Well, it’s the state run media now that Biden is installed.

    They are using it to marginalize Trump supporters and the nationalist populist movement.

    There's literally video of people bashing in windows, doors, and nearly crushing a cop in a doorway to get in, idiot. Again, just because it was a pathetic FAILED attempt, doesn't mean it wasn't an attempt.

    What happened on Capitol Hill was a few dudes dressed like Conan the Fauxbarian acting like fools and occasionally fighting with the cops while a few hundred other dudes took selfies in the Rotunda.

    An insurrection is not some dude in a horn hat wandering around the House as a police officer asks him to chill. Don’t let them define insurrection down to mean “Anything conservatives do.”

    Nor was this incident some sort of “attack on Our Democracy™ where our freedom hung on by a thread.”

    You wouldn’t know it from watching Rep. Occasionally Cowered whining that she suffered PTSD from being at the far end of the same ZIP code, but what happened on January 6 was no “insurrection.”

    The idea that this deplorable incident was an “insurrection” is to delegitimize all resistance to the Establishment’s reign of error, and to play along is to give credence to its lie and to empower its propaganda.

    You have done nothing wrong by rejecting the Establishment narrative.

    You have done nothing wrong by protesting what you see as a flawed election and a corrupt ruling class.

    You have a right to protest anything you want, and you don’t need their permission.

    Dissent is patriotic. Or did that end when it became inconvenient?

    They hype the happening because they want to make you afraid to speak up.

    They want to try to make it impossible for you to live in this society if you do not parrot the party line.

    They won’t say it that way. They will try to wrap themselves in the same flag they were calling a symbol of white supremacy last year to try to seize some sort of moral high ground and shut you up.

    Like they give a damn about the Constitution. This tiresome “insurrection” and “sedition” palaver is just a ham-handed attempt to turn 74 million Americans – almost none of whom wear Thor drag – into enemies of mom and apple pie, which is weird because they usually hate traditional family structures and non-kale foods.

    This kind of baloney is par for the course for DEMOCRATS. They’re going to call you an “insurrectionist” today and a “racist” tomorrow and some other hogwash after that, so why should you care what they say?

    Yeah, it was scary to have knuckleheads running rampant through the Capitol. Blame the knuckleheads. Don’t blame the other 74 million people who supported President Trump.

    And quit playing along with the ridiculous idea that January 6 was Fort Sumter shift=1!

    It was not. This foaming-mouthed performative overreaction is all cynical performance art.

    So basically a milder version of the summer of rioting accepted by the democrats.

    I can't remember any of those being inside our Capitol.

    Awesome whataboutism, though.

    Just Federal and government buildings like courthouses and police stations. Sorry if the facts sting a bit.

    LOL

    All matters for local law enforcement, and no imminent danger to the republic.

    You guys are in whataboutism overdrive since 1/6. THAT is a fact.

    Federal Courthouses are not local. Nor is the Whitehouse. Want to try again zippy?

    My contention is it’s just more of the same, instead of a local police precinct it involved the Capitol.

    And yeah, it was arguably less violent than some of the summer political violence.

    It's fucking sad. Who could have guessed that fascism would try to establish itself in the name of "owning the libs"? Oh wait, literally anyone.
