Cali-- walk with me for a second--
When the two organizations BLM and Antifa were formed, initially BLM was created to protest the treatment of blacks by law enforcement. Antifa was the leftover remnants of the "occupy wallstreet" crowd. Antifa then morphed from "protesting capitalism" to protesting anything Trump.
BLM followed suit. The Antifa leadership now isn't made up of people fighting fascism. It's made up of anarchists. People that want zero government. There are sub groups inside Antifa with their own agendas, to be sure, but their original message has been diluted. They don't know what they want, they just know they don't want the establishment.
Now, BLM heads, the leadership, have given interviews about their political beliefs. Each of them, to a man and woman, have admitted that they follow Marxism. Now saying you follow Marx isn't admitting that your a communist-- but it's admitting your a communist without saying the word communism. The vast majority of the money donated to BLM did not in fact GO TO hoping black people. Instead, the vast majority of the monies were funneled to the DNC.
So an organization fighting for black people, run by self admitted communists, is funding the DNC.
A moment ago you conflated right wingers and racists into one group. That's not fair or accurate. So I'm going to follow the example or road map you laid and and do the same thing and let's see if it comes off to your liking--
If you support BLM then you're supporting communism. If you support the DNC which took money raised by people that are communists, then you're a communist. If you voted for anyone associated with the DNC-- because they took communist money- this makes YOU a supporter of communism and by proxy, a communist.
See how easy that was to do? By your own doing, by using the road map that you laid out right here, I can use your road map against you-- and then make the terribly wrong assumption that YOU are a communist. And I'm willing to bet that you are no more a communist than I am a radical right racist.
It's just that racism is the buzz word right now. Communism has lost all of its sting. Back in the 50s there was a slogan that said "better dead than red" referring to the communist witch hunts of the McCarthy era.
Now WERE their communists in our government and in Hollywood? Of course there were. We know there were. But did thos people have enough influence to wreck and entire system back then? No. Not really.
The same goes for racial bias. Everyone has biases. Everyone. You're biased to chocolate ice cream and I'm biased to Rocky road. It's impossible not to have biases. But systemic biases based on race alone are not as prevalent as the media would have you believe. Think of all the fake hate crimes that have happened the last four years. Far more fake hate crimes than ACTUAL hate crimes against minorities. Jussie Smollett comes to mind. The girl on the subway that lit herself on fire and claimed white MAGA hat wearing guys did it. The kid that spray painted the church and gravestones in a black community with MAGA-- was a black kid. I can go on for hours. The kid at A&M that left racist notes on his own car!
The demand for hate crimes far outweigh the supply.
Now let's talk about the Capitol.
The Trump rally was being held 4.5 miles from the Capitol. That's a 30ish minute walk for anyone.
Prior to Trump finishing the speech people had already begun to try and enter the Capitol. So NO members of the people at the trump rally initially broke into the Capitol. It's logistically impossible to move 4.5 miles in Washington in 5 minutes. It took 15 minutes for the storming to happen. Ten minutes AFTER trump's speech ended, the caption was fully breached. So ZERO people at his rally lead that charge.
As far as trying to commit a coup-- I've been in a country shortly after a coup and civil war. These people were pissed off and unorganized. They had one motive-- to express their displeasure. Had then been an organized coup, trained men with weapons would have brandished them the moment that woman was shot by police. An unarmed woman, mind you. You won't see any NFL helmet stickers for her. At that point, trained me would have broken out their weapons and started to pie around corners and pop anything that moved. The trailers would have set security to prepare for a counter attack from the Feds. The lead elements would have moved systematically through the corridors and cleared every room. People sealing themselves in SCIFs and offices would have been fereted out by breechers using concussion ordinance or gas.
In short-- it would have been a fvcking blood bath. Splash of reality moment-- you don't try to overthrow a government using iPhones and fanny packs. These people were misguided and unorganized from start to finish.
What I DID notice in all this though-_ the politicians, for the first time in my life-- were scared. So was the media. They were horrified. And perhaps, just perhaps, it's what they needed. Politicians fear nothing or no one anymore. They are NEVER held accountable. Rarely do they go to jail for their misdeeds. Joe Biden has been a civil servant his entire life but he owns 6 homes-- one in the Hamptons, where even the crap homes cost 5 million dollars-- yet a guy that's never made more than 250k a year in his life us fabulously wealthy and has 6 homes. Does that make sense to you? Politicians are crooks and I'm glad that for at least a few minutes, they remember what it's like to be afraid. They needed that sobering moment. Problem is, it probably won't have the effect they want. Because what did they do immediately after all this? Did they say "jeez, I wonder what got people so mad that they turned on us?"
Nope.
They did the thing that politicians always do. They became hypocrites. They immediately built a wall around themselves to protect their sh!t.
You know. A wall. Because, it turns out, that walls fvcking work. Even though I was told for four years that they didn't.
