It is because most of US politics is “reality TV”. Do you ever watch “survivor” or “the bachelor” it’s not real, they follow a plan, a loose script, (even if every word isn’t written down). US politics is the same, just with ugly actors that get very rich from their performances. Sometimes the GOP win, sometimes the Dems, but it’s scripted and planned and keeps those that pay attention entertained and pacified.

For example all the photos you see were not spontaneous, they’re all planned photo shoots and events designed to make news and shape public opinion.

Remember the iconic photo from a year or two ago of the “poor migrant caravan woman” running from tear gas cloud with her kid? Look it up and zoom into it. Look in the background and you can see clearly other propaganda shots being set up, each with people running or posing, each with their own photographer. This is just more of the same.

Now Trump isn’t part of the “reality TV production”. That’s why they hate him. They can’t control and script him like the other politicians.

The big change is that they went too far. Like our WWF wrestling, some people believe it’s real, but then they go to far with something so unrealistic that it breaks the illusion.

We believed we had fair and free elections. Now we have been shown and proven that we don’t. They went too far and broke the illusion. It would have been smarter for them to have just waited Trump out another 4yrs and gone back to business as usual, but they got greedy and impatient.

But this it’s not all about Trump, it’s about losing our country and losing our voice (elections). Becoming (politically) the same as Venezuela.

If Biden had won fairly, this would not be happening. Our side would have accepted it, moved on, and simply voted next time, but, now we see that there is no next time, because voting has been corrupted and taken from us

This loss of fair elections, combined with a powerful leader (Trump) leading to this DC mostly peaceful protest, and what follows, is the only thing that may be powerful enough to make those on the right actually take action.

We all have families, jobs, lives. We live in comfort with our AC, cars, and computers. It’s very hard to make people risk jail and death, giving all that up, guns ownership or not.

Whereas the left hires useful idiots that will pillage and burn, and don’t care of they’re arrested. The cannon fodder they throw first don’t have much to lose.

Basically there is no “next time” or “next election”.

It’s now or never. If this fizzles out, all is lost.
