To preface, I have no clue what's going on. I've gone back and forth on who started what and who's plan this all was. Maybe both sides are playing each other thinking they're getting the upper hand and we'll find out the victor soon enough.

I will note a few points that I can figure that maybe this was part of Trump's plan...

1. He knew Pence would flip. He's been hinting at it recently and did so today as well.

2. People have linked him heading to Dyess Air Force Base in Texas afterwards. There was someone in the Discord mentioning the flight heading there and then Lin Wood mentioned it not long ago as well. If he lost the military, why head to a military base?

3. The insurrection act "requires the President to first publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse." Which he did after an actual riot occurred.

4. There has been some talk about the people who were being called Antifa actually being Trump supporters being sent in to make sure it didn't get too out of hand (I know there's a tragic death, but overall not much chaos in the building). I'm still curious about who these guys are, but it's an interesting plot twist if true.

5. There's a video circulating from a while back where Trump talks about wanting to lose everything to see who really is loyal. I don't put it past him, fittingly on the Epiphany, wanting to finally reveal it all. Especially now we're hearing rumors about even members of his Cabinet turning on him.
