After hysterical leftist theatrics, rioters were absent at state capitols

[Counselor706]

Americans have been gaslighted, again. After a horde of Trump supporters sacked the U.S. Capitol building over Congress certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win in the Electoral College this month, Democrats and legacy media raised hysteria that the recent incursion was the first in what was supposed to become a series of domestic attacks targeting state capitols ahead of the inauguration.

Upwards of 25,000 federal troops descended on Washington to prepare for the imminent insurrection, occupying the city with more boots on the ground in the Beltway than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. At least 17 other states called up the National Guard. Police ramped up security in all 50 state capitols, bracing for an attack, while Democrats exploiting the Jan. 6 crisis at the Capitol continued to feed fears of a right-wing revolution after spending eight months vilifying law enforcement in the wake of their own in the name of social justice.

Routine outbursts might have been more likely to ensue, just like last year’s never-ending “1619 Riots,” if prominent elites had sought to exhaustively justify the carnage at the U.S. Capitol the way Hollywood, the corporate media, and the Democratic Party did in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Instead, however, the events at the Capitol were roundly condemned by both sides, where conservatives consistently vilified the violence while Democrats capitalized on it to initiate a progressive purge of their political opponents. As the New York Times published on Sunday, however, FBI warnings of a violent uprising, amplified by Democrats with hysterical theatrics featuring more troops occupying Washington than parts of the Middle East, have yet to substantiate.

Support for increased police presence represented a change of heart for many leftist leaders. The presence of federal troops in Washington once enraged Democrats, who railed against their enhanced presence to protect monuments to actual social justice warriors from attacks by those pretending as such. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser vocally resisted troops in her city, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last year condemned their presence as “alarming,” singling out their protection of the Lincoln Memorial in particular.

The chickenshits backed down, after all the reports of Capitol invaders being arrested and charged.

Just 2 more days...

I guess trump denouncing the traitors took all the air out of the trumptards.

 

[magicalmoments]

Yes the MAGA crowd are having second thoughts as it becomes apparent that the chosen one has abandoned them and thrown them under the bus.

I guess they finally figured out since they haven't got his money, they can't just run out the clock on legal hassles the way he usually does.

That's dishonest, and you know it. And when there had been no shooting battles around the inauguration, you would claim those fences, troops and shit were wholly unnecessary overreaction.

Well, it is overreaction. Almost comical in it's own right, indeed. But it's also deliberate and necessary. And when there was no gun battles, it will have been because of that, because of clear, unmistakable demonstrations of power. And yes, of course, to not any smaller degree the tiresome and almost invisible background work of FBI agents knocking doors. Because with people talking use of force you have to talk in language of force.

The fences won't go away anytime soon either. Well the physical ones would, likely, albeit slowly. But the security, privacy and freedoms of us all will remain diminished. Yes, you and me alike, on the other side on the globe as well -- because USA remains a cornerstone of global order and a trendsetter, still, out of purely technical factors often. And for what, for a couple irresponsible guys, Steve Bannon playing with fire. For a well known scam upped up by some innovation and sold so obviously and so predictably, manipulating millions into frenzy of lies. A church of Stolen Election, lol.

And this is (or hopefully seems to still be) the happy ending. Seriously. For you, for me, for the whole world. We are about to dodge a true catastrophe. And that's why those fences are as high as they are. For what might have been.

Q centric outlets are encouraging fellow patriots to stay home.

Ummm, white nationalists turned up at several state capitols Sunday, and they're rolling into Richmond tonight. Not to intimidate, mind you. No, of course not. They are just good folks with guns who stand in front of government buildings and scowl--well, until they attack the building.

Maybe they had to change their travel plans after being repelled by the TSA.

 

[EmptyTank]

they never materialized because they are a fiction an invention another way to prove who is in charge and who owns the guns now

this whole hysteria is nothing but criminalizing your opposition in absentia and putting on shows of force that make south american dictators blush in their ineptitude to control the dialog and suppress opposition

And the message I got was be there on Wednesday, and it isn't Wednesday yet.

Or am I getting the wrong calls?

#BLM managed to get 30 of their members arrested overnight for trying to block traffic...
