    Not to split hairs, but I feel like the point at least Matt has been making is that the idea that the protestors themselves were any threat to power or were domestic terrorists is laughable. But the idea of cops working with them and basically holding the protestors' hands through this whole thing... yeah that's a troubling sign of things to come.

      I dunno but you should immediately assume the cops were in on it. We've had a good picture of cops as not just Qanon idiots, but actively white supremacist since their fucking inception. So the idea that the cops and part, or most of the military wasn't in on it, is laughable. Yeah maybe Matt is right that this wasn't an "Operation Gladio" situation, because there's a lot more disorder within the united states intelligence apparatus.

      He says that they were not a threat because capital doesn't feel at risk with Joe Biden, but in reality Capital and their cult are illogical and violent. My wife's job has received a cut in house-start ups just because Biden won. Like there's is fundamentally no difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but markets are acting like there is.

        I think it was rogue actors who were in on online Q spaces and the discussions. The bosses heading the cops would have known this is basically a career-ender for all of them and I highly doubt they're that invested a sacrificing everything for a plan that would never work
