If you want to know why the dramatic storming of the Capitol on January 6 happened, you do not need to look for Antifa agitators or hidden dog whistles.

You need only look at the way the people who charged into that building and those who were peacefully outside it are being smeared now, and how they have been treated for at least the last five years.

The blame for what led to yesterday was not Trump, nor Antifa, Nor any one thing.

It was the tone deaf disdain of an elite that forgot who they work for.

The elite, and that includes the media, have failed miserably to understand why – for the first time since 1814 – the US Capitol building was overrun.

The same reason they fail to understand it is why it happened.

They marginalized, minimized, and ignored the people they were supposed to serve and unwittingly, slowly, pushed them to the line that was crossed on the 6th.

It is the culmination of years of snobbish dismissal enveloped in double standards.

For years, Americans who love their country were told they were racists, white supremacists, or worse.

They were “deplatformed” from social media, pushed from their jobs, and told they had no place in society.

They were punished socially and economically for supporting Trump.

They were called “Magats” by blue-check marked elites on Twitter.

They helped their candidate win in a startling upset only to be told it was not because of them, but because the "Russians" colluded with the Trump campaign. Trump did not really win, they were told, for four years, every damn day.

Since 2015, peaceful trump supporters tried to go to rallies and were assaulted by antifa and the left and suffered it without protection from law enforcement.

For years, the people in DC on the 6th were unable to wear their MAGA hats, or even red hats, in public without being harassed, called a Nazi, or attacked. They could not put signs in their yards for fear of retaliation.

They watched a college professor attack people with a bike lock and watched as he suffered probation, no worse, for attempting to kill people who had different opinions.

They watched as a man with a BLM tattoo on his neck who declared himself ANTIFA stalked and ambushed a trump supporter, killing him in cold blood.

They watched as he was made a hero by the press.

They watched this summer as a media body guard shot and killed one of them in Denver in cold blood at a rally, only to then vote against them in the November election.

They watched a crazed man believing the Russia hoax, perpetuated by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the FBI’s James Comey, try to kill members of congress at a baseball field.

They watched as BLM burned their cities all summer and they were told it was “mostly peaceful” by CNN.

And they watched as the same people condemning them on the 6th took a knee for the ones looting and burning.

They watched as a law enforcement agency, which was supposed to administer the law regardless of politics, literally set up supporters of their president.

They watched as texts were released showing the same law enforcement agency saw them as unwashed rednecks who stunk up the place.

They watched as the authors of those texts paid no price, fleeing to jobs as CNN commentators.

They watched as DOJ finally dropped charges against an innocent man only to see a corrupt judge refuse to acknowledge the dropped charges.

They watched as an associate of their president was arrested with a CNN crew in tow.

They watched the corrupt law enforcement who did it all escape with no consequences.

The elites forget those who stormed those stairs believe only Trump stood with them. Many were abandoned by the Democrat and Republican parties.

Some tried to support Bernie Sanders only to have their support tossed by a system of super delegates and party elites. So they voted for Trump.

They were then abandoned by the Republican party who sees them as the unwashed masses they would rather "lose without" than "win with."

They know they will have no justice in the system for them.

They watched and they understood that there was not one system of justice but two. One for the monied elites and those with elite-approved opinions, with the right politics and right friends; and one for them.

They watched a kid in Kenosha flee a mob, be fired upon, and shoot his assailants only to be the one to go to Jail. Meanwhile, his assailant, who was literally pointing a gun to the kid’s head when shot, walks free.

They know they will never get a fair shake in the media.

They watched the Media slander a high school kid for wearing a hat, calling for his physical and criminal punishment.

They watched the Media lie day after day about their own political events while ignoring the criminal rioting and looting destroying their communities.

They watched, in disbelief, as reporters stood in front of burning buildings, set alight by BLM, and yet those reporters declared the event “mostly peaceful.”

They know no one from the government will come to save their livelihoods.

They watched as, under the excuse of covid, their businesses were shut down, schools closed, communities shuttered, all while the political elite disobeyed their own orders to dine at expensive restaurants or vacation at expensive resorts.

They watched as their elected officials said there was no money for them beyond $600 dollars but there were hundreds of billions for connected lobbyists and foreign interests.

They watched as they were told they are not welcome to speak their minds. For four years they were banned from social media while accounts dedicated to “bashing the fash” or “punching nazi’s” continued to call to disrupt their events with violence.

They watched as they were denied the ability to speak or hear speakers on college campuses by mobs.

They watched as they were kicked off Reddit, censored by Twitter, and banned by Facebook.

For years, they were hounded out of their jobs for expressing any opinion out of the leftist orthodoxy, or even just making harmless hand gestures once ubiquitous and mundane.

For years they were assaulted at rallies, their property stolen, their loved ones accosted, they and their friends assaulted, and nothing was done to help them.

For upwards of a decade they have been ignored and marginalized.

All that time, they were told their vote mattered. That although things are bad now, they could change it with a vote. That if they turned out and voted in mass, they would be heard.

They showed up only to watch their votes vanish in a wave of unaccountable, untraceable, and unexplainable ballots.

They watched as when they tried to observe, they were kicked out. When they tried verify, they were barred access. When they found evidence, they were not allowed to present it in court.

They watched as envelopes for matching signatures were destroyed.

They watched the ballot dumps at preposterous numbers happen live.

And they watched as the Elite tried to gas light them into believing nothing above happened.

They were told there was a legal process to challenge this, so they tried to go to court only to be told they had no standing.

They were told they could petition congress, only to be ignored.

They watched as the Elites showed everyone what the rules of the game were.

For almost a year, ANTIFA attacked federal buildings, often nightly, and the same people calling for the heads of people who charged the steps simply excused, justified, supported, and encouraged the activity in Portland and elsewhere.

So they stormed the Capitol, doing what has not been done since the war of 1812, all so that their voices could be heard.

Now they watch as the same elites double down on everything that brought them here.

The elite called them deplorables, so they said “fuck it” and embraced it.

Now the elite call them insurrectionists because the elite have learned absolutely nothing.
