Larry Schweikart: Much different perspective than many on our side have...but for first time in years these people fear us
LarrySchweikart ^ | Larry Schweikart

Posted on 01/08/2021 8:23:35 AM PST by Bigtigermike

Much different perspective than what many on our side have from yesterday, and certainly nothing that you'll hear from Hoax News. But I had a call from a friend in the movement. This is his perspective, but I tend to agree with it.

He saw yesterday as a victory of sorts. Yes, Trump lost, but that was expected to most of us.

What was not expected was that antifa or not, patriot's or not, a relative handful of people sent the elite spudgebudgers screeching like children, running for their basement.

The very people that last summer had claimed Trump was the one hiding out were quivering in their little mask-y clumps, as Lindsey Graham put it, in fear for their lives.

One could almost see him, Titanic-like, donning women's clothes and pushing men out of the way to get into the basement sanctum.

Here were the "most powerful people on earth" put to flight by a douche wearing viking horns & bearded mogsmogglers who couldn't threaten an egg

Graham's hysterical whimpering is very important, because, not bound by the DemoKKKrat "show now weakness" iron grip of Botoxic, HE let on what they ALL were feeling.

In short, my friend argued, these people doing nothing more than barging in and taking selfies put the fear of God into the ruling cabal.

They were embarrassed, humiliated, made to look petty in the eyes of the world.

To such a mob, John Calhoun would have pulled pistols. This was, I think, other than a few Puerto Rican terrorists in 1954, the first breaching of the Capitol since the Brits in the War of 1812.

(History factoid: Jesus Carter pardoned the Puerto Rican shooters).

By Jove, I think my friend is right.

I think THIS FEELING, this humiliation explains the hysterical overreaction of the 25th Amendment and impeachment today.

Like a bully decked by the glasses-wearing nerd, they had to get back up and beat up some helpless target like a juke box.

While the reality of Trump's loss--& equally important, the loss of a young woman's life to a rash cop shooter--is severe, never underestimate the psychological impact of such a moment. Allow me two historical analogies: in 1940 at the peak of the Battle of Britain, Churchill ordered Berlin to be bombed. It had zero tactical impact, had no chance of materially changing the war. but psychologically it struck a nerve with Hitler, who immediately (for the worse) changed the targets, giving the RAF the life it needed. Likewise, in 1942, Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo did very little actual damage, but it terrified the Japanese. The result was to green light Adm. Yamamoto's ill-conceived Midway campaign.

Think like a fascist elitist DemoKKKrat. The world saw them run from a handful of banner carrying middle-class people. The most powerful weapon any of them had was probably a vape.

They KNOW how they looked. Hoax News can try to conceal this all it wants, but these puffduffers were chased out of their "own house" by terrifying grandmas. (I know, it is our house--but not to them).

So what impact will this have? I don't know, but I do believe for the first time perhaps in years, some of these people fear us.

When they are scared, they make mistakes. They act rashly.

And one last positive development from yesterday. Truly our side has had its Gideon moment. We have certainly shed thousands of the less-committed, the "moderates." No matter which revolution you look at, the revolutionary party ALWAYS benefits by forcing moderates out. It steels their resolve & clears their vision.

This was true in the Algerian revolution against France & in the American revolution against England, where the Patriots sought to force people to choose between them and the Tories, knowing eventually they would win that choice.

So, I'm not here to pump sunshine, but realistically, I saw the enemy flinch big time yesterday.

Antifi or not, seeing Viking Man in the well of the House was one of the funniest damn things I have ever seen in politics. The fact that the humor came at the Dem and Rep elite’s expense is killing them thus the overreaction.

Longer term, the left and the establishment as a whole never expected something like this would happen or was even possible. THAT is why they were so cocky with the “don’t tell people what is a good way to protest” or “looting is okay”, “civility means you’re privileged” etc. They never expected a real counter-action. What keeps civil order is a healthy concern that if you cheat the system, you may suffer a consequence. Consequences happened, in their backyard, the mothership city of the establishment elites.

In military law, there is a doctrine of reprisal. Essentially, if one side decides that they don't feel like following the rules of civilized conflict, then the other side is no longer bound to follow the rules either.

The Left has demonstrated, over and over, that they feel that rules and laws do not apply to them. Yet, they assume that we will continue to be bound by the rules. It may be time to shake that assumption.

We have to act as a nation.
The millions of us couldn’t get to Washington
but we can show our disapproval in other ways.
Let them see and be afraid!

No big rigs, no traffic, no shopping.


One day strikes are really very effective. Just delays the purchase to the following day. We do need an effective strategy though for ensuring our voices are heard.

Third parties have been tried, and failed. It’s hard to build the infrastructure to prevail. It is much easier to take over control of the GOP, and THAT is what we should be doing.

I’ve said on here before that what happened on the 6th was the most glorious thing I have seen on television since the Berlin Wall came down.

My POV is that what happened on the 6th was inevitable. It was inevitable because the Left had shut down the normal path for airing grievances - the Courts.

It was either last week or the week before, on Mark Levin's show on Fox, that he stated that NOT ONE, I repeat, NOT ONE evidentiary hearing was held so that the POTUS's lawyers could lay out their case. Rudy testified in front of some state committees; but, no evidence was put before a judge in any court, including SCOTUS.

So they keep talking about "no evidence" when, in fact, the evidence has never been heard in a court of law. I hate to say this; but, to me it looks like the judiciary was in on the steal.

So, when you won't allow people of the Right to express their opinions on social media platforms; when you refuse to allow people from the Right to get a hearing in a court of law; then, why are you at all surprised by what happened on the 6th?

When all normal avenues have been shut down, protest and riot are all that is left.

“ why Pence won’t invoke the 25th.”

How do we know it hasn’t been invoke operationally? Is Trump still in charge or has control been assumed by Pence, Pompeo, Mnuchin and the donors they answer to?

Excellent point. Big Tech bears a degree of responsibility for this as well.

Disagree. As I watched the breach and then our congress critters “flee,” it seemed to me that the whole thing was staged, planned.

Yes! I want them afraid. I want them to understand that the next time there will be three times as many people and they will be the target.

Wow. Great analogy! My wife and I cheered when we say the video of what was happening.

My only quibble would be we're not at 1989 yet-- we're at 1773 and the Boston Tea Party, when other "ruffians" took over some ships.

Lexington and Concord are probably not far off once that drooling corrupt idiot takes office and pushes his gun control agenda (look and see now how many RINOs jump ship and join in a new "assault weapons" ban).

The final outcome of this struggle is unknown, but it is far easier to bring down a modern state than the British Empire in the 18th century. All that digital infrastructure is oh so delicate: fiber cable, power transmission, water pumps, bridges, etc. Look at the relatively bloodless IRA London bombing campaign in the 1990s: place a bomb, call it in so everyone is evacuated from the political and financial centers and damage buildings and destroy windows for blocks around. Over and over again. Makes governance and commerce impossible.

Nah, not staged. In photos you can clearly see the terror on their faces and how they cowered behind the furniture like cornered rats.
