With hearing Republicans on TV preface every single interview with their clarification that they “outright condemn the horrible seige of the capital - and do not ever condone violence of any kind” ....blah, blah, blah, blah! This robotic chant furthers the premeditated, leftist narrative that the 800,000 plus Trump supporters were in DC to “attack Democracy”, to break the law and murder puppies, treason, sedition, etc....and that we all deserve more shame and hatred that was righteously directed at Al Qaeda post 9/11. When will anyone break this nonsense up and have the courage to be honest and call them out with the truth, which is that this was purposefully planned and carried out in order to take the conversation away from ELECTION FRAUD?? Instead, we get this shit repeated over and over ....and impeachment, the sequel. A week has passed and we are still acting like the media puppets they want us to be without missing a single beat. Are we this stupid??, This is a disgrace!
There are 80 million plus American citizens who STILL expect answers about what the hell really happened with the election. We aren’t going away. We aren’t going to move on and forget about it. We demand that these affidavits and that the evidence gathered be legitimately pursued and investigated. We expect accountability and we demand the truth be told. If even our elected Republican representatives refuse to follow through with this then they are no different than those who said there was no fraud at all. You don’t demand unity by pretending that that giant elephant in the room is no longer there. He’s still there and the longer he goes ignored - the more pissed off he’s going to get. WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO DROP THIS! There’s an interesting “rumor” that members of BOTH parties absolutely do NOT want any sort of audit performed. Well, THAT is interesting and makes it even more important that this be as much a priority as this covid garbage that we’re already being lectured to that is of such great priority. Just more distractions until we shut up and (they hope) forget. WE NEED TO BE LOUD AND CONSISTENT with our demand that this not be dropped. Certified or not. Investigate the claims and report back on the TRUTH. Whatever it is we can handle it..,but we have THE RIGHT TO KNOW. We are waiting and we don’t have a lot of patience left.
Conservatives are cucked. Under any other circumstance, it would not matter whether the storming of the capitol was a "set up" as many purport it to be, or if it was genuinely just people fed up with a government that doesn't represent them (with the truth being, in my person view, somewhere between the two). When people start to storm government buildings and demand the recall of their representatives, what any liberal democracy would do is take a hard look at why those people are unhappy and try to mend the problem so they have trust in their government again. On the other hand, a regime like Lukashenko's or Assad's would call the demonstrators terrorists and send riot police to shoot them with tear gas and rubber bullets.
The onus should not be on the people not to "riot" (something that absolutely did not happen at the capitol, despite media claims). The onus should always be on the state to inspire confidence in the people. The kinds of demonstrations we have been seeing happen when people feel there is no legal recourse to address their grievances anymore.
My point? The fact that you even feel you have to disavow the capitol protest to maintain legitimacy of the MAGA movement is wrong in and of itself. Those protesters were right. The capitol is no more a "temple of democracy" than its inhabitants are priests. It is the people's house and they have a right to take it back when their elected representatives lose legitimacy.
I’m not disavowing the protest or protestors, at all. I agree with everything else you said. I am concerned because it seems to me that there are no calls to follow through on what we were ALL on here for to begin with just a week ago.
I get the rant man, I totally do. But what can we do realistically ? Nothing. If you have a plan however, I am all hears.
Thanks, I thought it was a very well written rant. But when you can only get 30 upvotes from a friendly crowd one has to wonder. I get what you’re saying, though. None of us can do much on our own, but strength in numbers. What does it take to get peoples attention and to motivate them? Clearly, I don’t have the answer, but I have no doubt that there are millions who would read what I write and totally agree. Apathy and laziness are also our biggest problems. Most people aren’t willing to lift a finger until they can really personify it. I have a friend who said, well at least I voted and it counted. I said how do you know it counted. He said oh the tally on the screen said so. We’ve been conditioned to believe that the only thing I should have to do is vote, now give me my liberty! If our votes truly counted we would have liberty, no doubt. Naive people just don’t believe it until proof that it happens to them is shoved down their throats. THEN, they might be willing to fight for it. Most people in here are all talk. Chest thumpers. Easy to act like that behind their keyboards, at home. It’s going to take leadership, organization, networking, resources, a ton of resolve and several plans / options. So far, we have um.....?????
Right, they just play it out over and over again. It is designed to cement a narrative in peoples subconcious... and quite often it works.
With that knowledge in mind, may I submit to you that they have done this for a very long tine.
WWI - bullshit scam and white feathers. WWII - we knew about Perl Harbour VietNam - Gulf of Tonka was connected to a very famous singers dad who was an admiral and signed off on a fake attack
7/11 was planned and we created Ahl khaeda
Schools are like shooting fish in a barrel for gun free zones.
The Bureau of Land Managment does what it's name suggesst and a few more thing to help a certain narrative.
I might have misspelled a few things for reasons.
So? Must we do as we’re told?
