That's it.
The MAGA's managed to spend like six months talking about an action, keep up momentum and excitement, share resources to get people to DC, and do what most of them probably never expected to do.
March on DC and physically "take" Congress.
All they needed was a leader to march up to and say, "We're here, what do you want us to do?"
Unfortunately for them, all they got was Trump.
They will all come away from this high as a fucking kite and feeling like the most powerful beings in the universe.
The group will lose energy and the mobs will dissipate but they've shown all sorts of people waiting in the wings just how ready and willing they are to be an army to anybody who wants to lead them.
Some of them are going to be looking for their next fix. We get to see what they do to get it this year.
A lot of people have been saying for a long time that trump is a threat, but even worse will be the intelligent true fascist that comes after him
literally all someone has to do is be a little charismatic and walk up to a mic and go "fuck the browns, let's kill some lefties and then go to church" and all these people will fall over themselves to follow them. Like someone just doubling down on the foundation trump laid is probably a winning strategy from here.
Nah, see I don't think it required a serious plan. These guys were fucking tourists! They didn't have it in them to face the consequences of killing someone. They might have it in them if they can get away with it, but they knew there'd be a risk of serious consequences and none of them had the balls to face that.
Like, look at even the fuckin Charlotesville rally where they did kill someone. The murderer there a hundred percent thought he'd get away with it. None of these people could have actually done any serious plan because it would've required them shooting people that they would absolutely know they'd get punished for.
Plans aren't complicated things, just Trump saying, "stay in the Capitol until I tell you to leave" would have been enough.
It didn't even need to be Trump today. Any Republican politician could've walked out amongst them and taken control of the movement. They just needed some form of authority to lend them legitimacy.
Goes to show how wide the ideological gap between the base and the elites really is.
Yup, could have been a Crenshaw or a Cotton or any Tea Partier or Q-anoner. Just anybody willing to take the blame for anything that happens after giving even the slightest push for the crowd to do something.
