With attack on Capitol, Democrats have their Reichstag Fire

A horrific attack on a country’s Congressional building that occurred shortly after a contentious election. The political party that won the election casts blame on political rivals, condemning, vilifying, and demonizing anyone that is associated with them. In response to the attack, the people of those in power institute draconian laws and take political acts to “protect the country from insurrection” while reinforcing how their agenda will save the country. If you thought this described the events in Washington D.C. on January 6th, 2021, you’d be mistaken. This is the scenario that occurred at the Reichstag building, home of German parliament, on February 27, 1933 in Berlin, Germany. Yet, with the Capitol Hill riots, the Democrats now have their very own Reichstag fire.

It is historical fact that the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to impose fear in their country regarding the opposition party – in this case, communists – while consolidating and strengthening their power. The day after the Reichstag fire, Hitler led Germany to attack any opposition to their agenda as sympathizers to the agitators. The Reichstag fire was used to suspend most civil liberties such as freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and the right of free association. After the events of last week, the Democrats are doing the same.

In Reichstagian fashion, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi excoriated Trump and Republicans after the attack much the way Hitler did with the communists at the time.

“Sadly, the person running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States, and [there are] only a number of days until we can be protected from him,” Pelosi said in an interview Sunday evening with 60 Minutes. “But he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him.”

Hell as far as I can tell it was a ton of Qtards and antifa.

1933 all over again, folks. We can not let this become Germany in 1939-1945 with leftist run death camps.

Reviewing around a dozen videos of the crowd near the Capital building, I’d go and suggest that most all of them were 18 to 30 years old. Probably only 10-percent over age 30.

There’s probably five or six moments where you see them holding the flag, but dipping it on the ground or using the flag pole as a weapon. I’d suggest that’s more of the behavior that you’d expect out of Antifa people.

Hitler’s first directive after the Reichstag Fire was to disarm the German people

I called it the Reichstag fire the day it happened. You could see it coming way back when they first announced the rally and invited people to come.
