The fact that the video of the storming of the capital was filmed by a BLM supporter, who was arrested when BLM was blocking traffic and shots were fired at motorists, should be a really obvious clue who the rioters really were.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Anyone witnessing hundreds of rallies with tens of thousands of Trump supporters knows 06JAN was a set up. Trump supporters do not behave this way.
Why are the turds running the “investigation” withholding all of the video evidence? Because the truth would be clearly shown how this was orchestrated?
Sorry Ben, “authoritarians of the right” had jack shit to do with 06JAN.
Do you remember what he did to her?
“…they are on our side, that is if the objective is saving the country rather than comprehending conservativism though the exclusive lens of political personality.”
That’s disingenuous and insulting.
My decision to care whether or not a self-described conservative supports President Trump has zero to do with “political personality”, and everything to do with “saving the country”.
Ben Shapiro thinks that the January 6 “rioters” were authoritarians of the right - attempting to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. Anyone who holds that view is NOT on my side.
The January 6 protesters were protesting the certification of a stolen election. How better to save the country?
I certainly did not intend to be insulting, rather to say that basing ideology on a political figure (or events like 1/6 etc) is divisive within the conservative movement. We are not going to win this thing until enough people realize that Marxism is a national death sentence and vote in national leadership which will undoubtedly include all flavors of conservativism...that is, if our capacity to vote has not yet been completely corrupted by the Democrats.
Remember when they deplatformed Parler, accused American grandmas of insurrection, and digitally silenced the president of the United States? Remember how they did all of this after Black Lives Matter and antifa rioted for months and radical mayors and prosecutors refused to lock them up? Remember how academia, corporate America, and even the military suddenly stepped out of the shadows and pushed the exact same racist theory, all pushing the lie that America is racist at the same time radicals across the country were attacking statues of our founders and even President Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant? It all felt so snapped in place, so tightly coordinated. What if it was?
Apologies. I shouldn’t have said it was insulting or disingenuous.
What I meant to say was that it is wrong to presume that identification with a particular politician is about personality, or that it is not about saving the country.
When I call myself a Reagan Conservative it has nothing to do with his delightful personality, and everything to do with saving the country.
Likewise, when I proclaim my support for Trump, or protest an election being stolen from him, it has nothing to do with his not-so-delightful personality, and everything to do with saving the country.
Reducing Trump support to a “cult of personality” is a narrative pushed by the Left, as is the idea that the January 6 protest was “divisive”.
It is true that the Right needs a big tent to build a majority - but that need does NOT require that we dilute our beliefs one iota. We can accept help from people with different agendas without sinking to the lowest common denominator.
I won’t respect Ben Shapiro’s views until he respects mine (which he doesn’t). On the other hand, if he wants to vote for Trump and encourage others to, I’ll gladly accept the help.
Re: “Shapiro offers some hope and some tangible tools to use to fight back”
So?...What are these tools?
I listen to Ben Shapiro but I can’t say I agree with him on either the effectiveness of the vaccines or severity of Jan 6th. I prefer Michael Knowles who also comes right out and disagrees with Ben on both issues. On Friday Knowles said the use of the word authoritarian is way over used.
Totally agree
HORSE****
Ben Shapiro is a SCHMUCK. I’d never spend a dime on his BS drivel.
I wondered about that as well.
“The Federal Reserve, the Income Tax and the insane World War I were total disasters—yet Woodrow Wilson is gonna get canceled because he was a vicious racist...”
Poor old Woodrow Wilson gets blamed for so much.
Probably due to dunces like Glenn Beck and Dinesh d’Souza and their shoddy “histories”.
The Income Tax required an amendment to the Constitution. Lincoln’s attempt to impose the first US income tax was struck down.
The second President to call for an income tax was none other than Teddy Roosevelt. Congress passed the 16th Amendment in 1909 when either Roosevelt or Taft was President and ratified in February 1913 a month before Wilson took office.
The Federal Reserve was another product of the Teddy Roosevelt-William Taft years.
The National Monetary Commission was created by Congress in 1908, the enabling law, written by Republicans Nelson Aldritch and Edward Vreeland, was signed by Teddy Roosevelt. Its purpose was to propose reforms to the American banking and monetary system, which it did. Woodrow Wilson actually campaigned against creating a central bank but did sign the bill.
World War One was one the rare instances where Congress used their authority and declared war.
The declaration of war passed in the House by 373 to 50, and in the Senate by 82 to 6.
Sounds like someone channeling King George!
But the morale of the Patriot forces was boosted on December 19 when a new pamphlet titled The American Crisis written by Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense, was published.[12]
These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Within a day of its publication in Philadelphia, General Washington ordered it to be read to all of his troops. It encouraged the soldiers and improved the tolerance of their difficult conditions.[13]
This individual IS coming.
Things will get straightened out: for a while anyway...
“Sounds like someone channeling King George!”
RIGHT???!!!
Thanks for that. Really. If you saw the project I’m working on, you’d understand. I doubt that I’ll have the wherewithal to put it in HTML (there are a LOT of images), but I will share it here at FR right soon.
Practice a bit.
And, there are websites that allow a word processor type approach that spits out an HTML version of what you've created.
You are correct, The American People and Patriots were within their Rights to gather and access DC Government Areas, while the US Government Agents had no right to prevent them OR engage in conspiracy to subvert any election.
I was replying to Ben and Media's lying use of language.
