The attack on the Capitol was short term dumb, but may yet prove to be long term smart. Why? Well now protests are anti-American in the eyes of the left/media. Cracking down on them is cheered.
So what do WE do? Crack down on LEFTIST protests. Any time they set one up, get out there and fuck them up. Not with your words, but with your fists (and what have you). Don't go there chanting slogans and making speeches, simply go there to shut them down, just like antifags did to us. Don't try to convince anyone of anything, don't wear anything political or any kind of group outfits (rather, dress like ordinary people and mask up), just wage holy hell on them, without mercy, until they are beaten.
Why do this? Well obviously going after politicians is a bad idea. But going after their foot soldiers who enjoy no police protection, who are openly anti-cop, and who are now engaged in activities deemed to be subversive? That is a realistic target that will have an exaggerated effect. The elites will get the picture that their ground game is toast and they have very little cover to give them from their ivory towers.
And maybe perhaps some non-politician elites get targeted for special attention, reminding the rest they aren't invulnerable.
The left tipped their hand here. They showed they're willing to go fascist full on and straight away. We have to make them commit to it, but we have to do it in a smart and effective way.
No it’s the double standard as usual. Our protests=bad, their protests=good.
Doesn't matter. It's not about the optics of whose cause is best, because our cause will only be to shut theirs down with extreme prejudice. Let them see the warfare in the streets that they fostered. Let them see that their side is powerless and will get slaughtered any time they go out. It will demoralize them like you won't believe. All of their hypocritical indignation will do nothing. They'll have no cause to blame, and thus no narrative to spin.
