MODERATORS
Do you all remember how quickly they backed down as soon as ashley babbit was shot? (yes I know I spelled it wrong, I don't care to honor that piece of trash). A whole crowd of these fuckers. and presumably the most rabid of them, their infantry if you will. These are the cultists who spent money, time, and energy to be there. So they are also the ones with means. Also, presumably a bunch of them were carrying concealed weapons. Then one person gets shot and the entire thing crumbles. Cowards. Through and through cowards. And they think they can win a war?
The reaction of everyone when the shot is fired was absolutely telling. The coward that was right next to her turns and ran. Didn't even help her or charge an attack with the absolutely massive numbers they had. They were there, at the heart of it all and they turned around and ran because the violence became real and was directed at them.
Except the ones who pointed at her like chimps and took out their cell phones to record her dying.
Not one of them offered any first aid.
You can't really expect empathy from that crowd.
I like the way I once saw it summarized for a non-American person asking about J6:
Supporters of the fascist ex-President form angry mob threatening to kill politicians; they end up killing four police officers and one of themselves then run away.
I'm not defending those traitors, but they didn't kill 4 police. This is from the wiki on the event.
"Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months."
A 42 year old having a stroke after being sprayed with pepper spray and hit on the head with a fire extinguisher is not dying of natural causes.
died of natural causes?
The brain bouncing against the inside of the skull due to blunt force trauma is technically a natural cause, if you cross your eyes
It's simple: Trump wins, they win (unless he fucks it up, which he probably will).
Trump loses, they lose no matter how violent they get.
They've been on this shit since the Confederate Era. Trump is just the latest in a long line of fascist bannermen.
Well, if you want the history of the Heritage Foundation, look back to the 70's. Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell penned a memo to the US Chamber of Commerce titled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System" in 1970, and in this memo, he detailed his concern that America's best and brightest students were becoming anti-business because of our involvement in Vietnam. Powell’s agenda included getting wealthy conservatives to set up professorships, setting up institutes on and off campus where intellectuals would write books from a conservative business perspective, and setting up think tanks. Three years later, the Heritage Foundation was founded.
Narrator: They did not win. Not even when they won. For they did not know or understand governance.
And they never should have gotten that far IMO.
Trump refused to call in the same National Guard that has beaten up the BLM protesters the summer before.
I mean, when somebody says a threat of such kind in a situation which doesn't yet warrant it, it's clear they are cowards.
Make no mistake - that bloodshed they want to be done by police, national guard and such. Not their own supporters. Cause no person who says such things first wants to be shot back at.
