    there's nothing happening, it's a just a bunch of disorganised maga chuds putting on a shitshow without any coherent plan. biden is gonna take office, trump is gona set up his "hello president" tv show and we will forget this happened in a couple of months until someone says "remember when a bunch wild magas attacked the capitol" and you'll be like "oh yeah! that was two months ago???"

          Didn't Ammon Bundy come out supporting BLM? Lmao

          e:

          Bundy spoke directly to those in opposition to defunding the police in the video.

          “You must have a problem in your mind if you believe that Black Lives Matter is more dangerous than the police,” he said. “You must have a problem if you think Antifa is the one going to take your freedom. You must be hypnotized by these social media code words or by conservative talk show hosts.”

          He said these “code words” were in reference to different terminology used to control public perception, like with the negative associations attributed to defunding the police.

          “No,” he said,” defunding the police is what we should do.”

              Nah, Daddy Bundy touted the Black Panthers during the ranch standoff, he was using old timey language so it sounded racists if you cutoff the audio before he finished his statement, which is what the MSM did, and Fox news stopped promoting him because well he was touting the Black Panthers.

      On one hand, Cotton is smarter than Hawley/Cruz by zagging when they zigged; if the party still belongs to Trump in 2024, neither Hawley/Cruz get the nomination and Cotton gets 2 votes in Iowa after being called a "pencil-necked f*****" by Trump Jr. If it doesn't...

This is 1905, we just had our revolutions dress rehearsal and now the black hundreds are out prawling. This is 1922, the Weimar republic is kicking off and the Nazis are drunkenly smashing shit. We're in a race against time to out-organize, out-arm and out-propagandize against these fascists or they're going to get their Pinochet.

          Start organizing for what? The system is already on these people’s side whether they know it or not, these are the most complacent, comfortable people in human history, they have no actual desire for change. Their only real goal as of right now is to keep Trump in power, once that fails they’re just gonna cry about it for a few months until they forget about it. Sure there will eventually be actual fascist uprisings once the collapse really starts setting in, but we’re not there yet even if it seems like we are

              Taking the Capitol literally means nothing if they don’t follow it up by actually seizing power or making any demands in the process. We’re already starting to see those same people who stormed the Capitol just turn around and leave cause they never actually planned to do anything other than just walk around and be angry. Their only concrete goal is to keep Trump in power and they’ve already realized they can’t actually make that happen, at least not without genuinely threatening capital which they’re not gonna do considering they can’t even handle being pepper-sprayed, let alone getting into actual armed conflict with the state

      Except they weren't, if they had been, then they would have. The doors were opened wide for them, and they were practically ushered in. The cops were practically offering them gasoline and matches to burn the place down. The only reason nothing more has happened is because they didn't really want it.

          You're absolutely right about how lenient the police/whoever is defending the capitol building has been with the fascists. But take a look, the defense of the congressional chambers was so thin, if there had been the smallest modicum of actual desire to break in there, they would have pretty easily. But nobody opened fire except for the cop that blasted that woman. So no, these folks weren't prepared, and it doesn't really look like they had any real desire to do much more than shit their pants in the streets
