All this talk about "insurrection," "Nazis," "domestic terrorism" are just buzzwords to attempt to shame and demoralize you. Don't fall for it, even if it seems like you are surrounded by people who are falling for it. It's both the typical mass lunacy that we've known to come from the left, as well as an attempt to cover up the election fraud, take the steam out of the populist movement, and clean up the BLM scandal by transferring blame to the opposition. Make no mistake, the current insanity is not at all about what happened on January 6; this is the excuse they needed to execute order 66 and take control of the narrative.
They are not even focusing on the individual incidents during the protest anymore, they have very quickly jumped to calling us ALL terrorists for simply disagreeing with them, and this is now their calling card to destroy all opposition.
The legal recourse for the protest itself is running out of steam remarkably fast. Most of the protestors in the Capitol event are getting charged with trespassing, which are Federal misdemeanors (ie. fines), and only a handful are getting felony weapons charges, so even the legal recourse is far more limited than they are bloviating about.
Notice how the Left suddenly isn't using the term "racist" anymore? That word became almost extinct over the holidays. That's because everyone on the right is numb to being called a racist in 2021, the word has lost almost all its power to intimidate. It's kind of like being called a misogynist or transphobic - no one cares. The language has now turned to "terrorist," a relic of a 2005 neocon past. Hasn't been used in 15 years, so why not? It has put the right on the defensive, the very moment any heat is placed on the left.
The fact is: the movement of 75+ million Trump voters just got very real on January 6. This is what's actually terrifying them, not the violence. It's that half of America disagrees with them, and that now Trump supporters are willing to go to the streets to express their voice. It's laughable that they are pushing this narrative about "subverting democracy" and "domestic terrorism" so hard, it's a sick joke really, as they've been perfectly fine with violence all summer long when it suits their agenda.
What they're really worried about is that the populist movement fostered by President Trump isn't going away, no matter how much they dox, censor, harass, use the FBI to threaten and intimidate people, take away job opportunities or convenient services, or name call. The harder they press, the stronger the resistance will get.
This is NOT going away, because instead of understanding why their political opposition believes what they do, they simply demonize them and chalk it up to some idiotic conspiracy theory like "white supremacy." They don't understand that more people are waking up to the fact that their way of life is under existential threat, and that everything that makes their lives worth living is on the verge of being destroyed.
People on the Right are generally happy people, but people on the Left live in a self-inflicted state of misery, and the Left HATES this inequality of happiness. This fundamentally is why the Left wants a totalitarian state; the only way they can nullify the positive, vastly superior, perpetually winning American spirit, is to brutally suppress it, and replace it with their self-hating, projective, double-think worldview. These are the fundamental forces at play, and why no amount of censorship or intimidation will solve the problem for them.
It got pretty rowdy on the 6th and people got hurt, some tragically got killed, and that's definitely worthy of concern. I don't think there's a soul on this board who wishes this shit to happen.
But what did they think would happen by continuing to heap abuse after abuse on half of America? By silencing peoples' voices while gleefully stripping away everything those people hold dear? They think people will just smile, bend over, and capitulate? Did they ever consider that perhaps they might be the ones inciting violence?
They abused their partner relentlessly for years, then the abused lashes out smacking the abuser across the face, and now the victim is the bad guy?
We WILL NOT go away! We are here. We are the majority. Hold the line!
