COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - The storming of the U.S. Capitol is a jarring but natural product of years of violence and hateful rhetoric stoked by disinformation and conspiracy theories, experts on far-right extremism said as they pored over images of Wednesday’s riot.
Members of far-right groups, including the violent Proud Boys, joined the crowds that formed in Washington to cheer on President Donald Trump as he urged them to protest Congress’ counting of Electoral College votes confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s win. Then they headed to the Capitol. Members of smaller white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups also were spotted in the crowds. Police were photographed stopping a man identified as a leading promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory from storming the Senate floor.
Online forums popular with Trump supporters lit up with gleeful posts about the chaotic scenes broadcast from the Capitol. Thousands of messages on Parler, a right-wing alternative to Twitter, included the hashtag #civilwar or other variations of the term.
“If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention,” said Integrity First for America executive director Amy Spitalnick. “We should all be horrified by this, but nobody should be surprised that this is happening.”
Spitalnick’s civil rights group is backing a federal lawsuit filed by victims of the violence that erupted at the August 2017 white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left a counterprotester dead. One of the far-right fringe figures who had been listed as a speaker at the Charlottesville rally was live streaming video of the Capitol melee on Wednesday.

Time for another protest march
Don’t forget Biden and Harris defended violent attacks on the White House.
*The storming of the U.S. Capitol is a jarring but natural product of years of violence and hateful rhetoric stoked by... far-right extremism *
That is an exact opposite read of reality.
The Left Lionizes the Puerto Rican Terrorists who shot up the House of Representatives in 1954.
Funny how the media has not mentioned that event, as if what happened yesterday was unprecedented.
By the way, Jimmy Carter ordered the release of the terrorists from jail in 1979, and they got a hero’s welcome.
Let’s not forget hateful taxation.
Let’s not forget hateful taxation.
Defense of looting happened like last summer, right?
What riot? Looked like all the peaceful protests I’ve been watching. What am I missing?
Communist government, neoliberal economic policy. gaslighting.
Uighurs are being “reeducated”.
Antifa attacks federal buildings and it’s “mostly peaceful” but 1/6/21 was terrorism.
Bush: we have to have unending wars overseas to have peace at home. “War is peace”.
Etc, etc.
Riot is the narrative that they want to push to engage in more bullying of Trump supporters because there’s blood in the water and they are in a frenzy.
What are they gonna do about it.

They’re moving to ban MAGA, Trump won’t be able to hold his rallies.
I’m thinking they’re cutting him off from money opportunities as best they can.
They are trying to completely ruin his life.
“The DC ri-nots, brought to you by The Ministry of Truth”
The deep state and their leftist minions control government, intelligence gathering, law enforcement, media, entertainment, big business, and tech.
What makes anyone think they need to be magnanimous to the people they have just crushed?
Media banter like this is saying they will steadily tighten the societal and legal screws on anyone who is not on board with their globalist, collectivist, racialist agenda.
Exactly ONE day after Trump’s inauguration, the unstable left began its hateful assault in the form of shrill wenches parading in pink knit hats. It escalated from there daily. The hate has never abated. The eneMedia IS the enemy facilitator.
