But the lie lives forever on the Internet. It is repeated so often that soon many people believe it. Very frustrating.
As heartbreaking as it is, that is not the reason.
Conservatives don't want to do their constitutional duty to protest. This is fact. We had a Tea Party protest movement. That did not come to an end in 2019. That came to an end way back in 2014 basically.
The April 15th Tea Party of 2013 was, I believe, the very last of its kind. This to me is probably the biggest affront to the legacy of the Founders we have.
2013 is a loooong way prior to J6. All of the protesters sat down long, long ago.
Conservatives do love our Founding Fathers - but not the Founders' penchant for protesting. That's one area where people don't want anything to do with being like the Founders. When it comes to protesting there is almost a "screw the founders" mentality to it all. It is widely seen too, here on Free Republic and elsewhere. There is almost a twisted pride in it even, if you start talking about protesting there is a swarm of lurkers that come out of the woodwork to remind everyone that they have jobs. That's great that you love your job. But now you're nothing but a worker. Workers don't matter. You've reduced yourself to nothing.
Why complain about something and then do such diligent insistence of being uninvolved? It's a deep contradiction to be sure. If you're going to be a complainer, you should be willing to be active every once in a while. I mean this comment in general, BTW.
I, personally, am highly distraught and distressed that there have not been any Tea Party protests in a decade. The amount of time that has been thrown to the side is very difficult to get back. It's just gone.
More and more despite my effort to resist it l share your pessimism. The rats/MSM have done a full pivot back to J6 with a vengeance. Demonizing millions of Americans who know in our hearts that the 20 election was stolen. It is a full onslaught to make us the lawless terrorists. It is everywhere now. There are many of us but they control all pubic institutions and the thought of Trump returning has made them go full scorched earth. They will stop at nothing to prevent that.
Shaheen has the intellectual level right up there with Maxine Waters, Shiela Jackson Lee and Johnson — all “brilliant” democrats s/
Thank you for the fairly graphic elucidation. I’ll never mix the two up again. That’s for sure. Reminds me of a scene from an old movie:

Good one! It’s Shaheen who needs it explained, not you :)
