i-think-that

I saw the whole thing as an absolute joke, but they’re treating it like it was an actual terrorist strike or something. “An AtTaCk On DeMoCrAcY”, fuck off, it was some people wandering inside the Capitol because the cops let them in. I think like two people died and one of them was a cop, one of them was the taser balls guy.

Remember when they wanted to make some cop Time’s person of the year for being there on Jan 6th? lol.

      I what material way? It all seemed like surface-level larping to me. I’ll believe they wanted it, but it didn’t seem like there was any planning or substance.

      Genuinely curious to know if there was actually some deeper conspiracy, but all the coverage I’ve seen has painted it as little more than playing.

          Who cares? This is the ridiculous part of American politics. There’s all this rage and emotion put into these elections when either way the outcome is unnecessary death, false scarcity, and a bunch of racist violence meant to divide and distract workers.

      So republican congressmen were an inch away from getting the Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard, state police, FBI, CIA, DIA, ATF, OICI, INR, NSA, CSS, NGA, I&A, ONSI, wallstreet and Federal Reserve from officially backing a localized riot made up of off duty cops, drunk proud boys and car dealership owners?
