misinformation-for-pay that may have led to the January 6th Capitol Riot

It was a temper tantrum

It was a bunch of white people who were mad their guy didn't win

There was no secret conspiracy, there was no plan to undermine the USA

Just a bunch of jet ski dealers and hvac guys who refused to play by the rules they demand for everyone else

Also, I refuse to call it Jan 6, like it's something along the lines of 9/11

Hell, I might even stop calling it 9/11

Doing an epic walk and talk while smearing shit on the walls

Doing an epic verbal takedown of the hypocrisy of being labeled "less than lethal" as a man fatally tases himself in the balls

Somber horn music and a snare drum roll while a cop gets klobbered in the dome with an American flag

Montage of chuds doxxing themselves on national TV while doing interviews. "I'm John Slabbaport from Shremstown Pennsylvania." "I'm Flank Didger from Tungsten Ohio." "I'm Molissa Rugger from Plemspray Arizona."

If this doesn't include giving an impassioned speech right before stealing the podium and running off as the score changes to Yakety Sax, it's screenwriting malpractice.

If there’s money to be made on misinformation it’s only rational to pursue it. Liberalism cannot square that circle.

Who are they going to cast to play ?

That cop liberals wanted to make Time's person of the year is probably going to be the main character. There's also going to be some Republican politician who's going to give a speech about how we're better than this and need to overcome our differences, because a nation divided blah blah blah, then everyone stands in stunned silence and claps afterwards.

Misinformation for pay = It was Russia!

When is Sorkin gonna fuck off forever? Just the fucking worst, smarmiest writing (and writer) i've ever encountered.

The subject should be in the hands of a much better writer/director, maybe Mel Brooks?

"The" January 6th? Drop the "the." Just "January 6th." It's cleaner.

Please god, do this

The Chapo episode will be great

Soon to be followed by a Broadway adaptation with Lin-Manuel Miranda starring as the spirit of democracy

We should all come out to be extras in the crowd shots!

I just threw up in my mouth a little

i dare you sorkin, chris hemsworth as the qanon shaman

Aaron Sorkin tried to investigate January 6th himself: "I Looked For Evidence"

When they get to the Babbit scene it’ll be a walk and talk, except it’s the only tolerable sorkin hallway scene because somebody shuts the speaker up for once.

The whole misinformation angle is bullshit. It's such a lib mindset to think your enemies are just misinformed.

The majority of people at Jan 6 were business owners or upper management. They came from urban communities that had seen a decline in the white population. https://d3qi0qp55mx5f5.cloudfront.net/cpost/i/docs/Pape_AmericanInsurrectionistMovement_2022-01-02.pdf

Like every fascist movement Jan 6 was the petite bourgeois attempting to shut down democracy and install a dictator that would stop demographic changes and keep the current hierarchies unchanged despite the falling rate of profit and the resulting monopolisation / need for the growth of the working class.

But if you refuse to see it as a systemic, almost inevitable process, then you're left thinking the Jan 6 people were just CraZzyYy. Maybe it's that damn internet the kids are always on!
