Was yesterday's protest meant to be peaceful? I know Trump supporters who took that protest as a message to go in the Capital at all costs. Was it meant to go the way it did? Or did we just fuck up Trumps plan???
That video with Trump telling everyone to go home is so eeriee and depressing. I looked forward to the 6th so much. What the fuck went wrong?
What were we supposed to accomplish??
Honestly, I'm cool with people going to the Capitol. Although I don't really see what the objective was in terms of going that deep into it and getting to the threshold of the gallery or the floor itself. It showed we're pissed off, but everyone already knows that. And I feel like we all know actually doing some Robespierre inspired shit would not be tolerated by the vast majority of the American population (otherwise it would have happened). So I don't really see what the game plan was. This was some Iraqi Freedom-tier operation (i.e. starting a fight, no endgame plan in sight). We alienated a lot of people who think we're lunatics now while meeting no beneficial objective.
To be honest, for the last three weeks anyone here who asked "so, if we take over DC, what's the next plan then?" was more likely to be deported than answered.
It was emotional, not rational.
Only way I see this working out is if things get especially bad in the coming months, and people review that as "Hm, maybe they were on to something." Until the changes that Biden (Harris) is looking to bring in cause actual damage to Americans, then this is net negative.
