A patina of academic respectability can't hide the fear porn.
With the anniversary of last year’s January 6 Capitol incursion this week, the agitprop media is doing its best to instill fear of a bogeyman caricature of conservatives. Yesterday’s edition of Face the Nation added a patina of academic respectability in an interview with Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago, who has studied “insurgencies in war zones” and applies that model to the January 6 events of last year, which were, as the media likes to say about far more violent riots, “mostly peaceful.” You would never know from the professor’s words that the only deaths were at the hands of police, not the “insurrectionists” and that most of those who entered the Capitol were beckoned in by police.
The good professor seems to really, really want to find danger in mainstream conservatism, and egged on by host Margaret Brennan, made some points that struck me as odd. For instance:
…We find that only 21 million people believe two radical beliefs in America today. One, that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president, and, two, that the use of force to restore Donald Trump to the presidency is justified. And their media sources of those 21 million, they come from -- 42 percent of the 21 million, their main media source is Fox News, Newsmax, and One America.

May our media be the first victims.
Where do we sign up?
Number injured.
Number killed.
Police hurt/killed.
Protester hurt/killed.
Property destroyed (in dollars).
Fires set.
Number of cities involved.
There are lots of ways to do this that will deflate the left's arguments.
Americans MASK:
how about MSM decimation every Jan6th?
... RINOs, too?
“Insurrectionist Movement” is what King George called the colonists in 1775.
If what we call for is an insurrection, then so be it.
DofI [my edits]: “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
The word is prescient
Face the nation is prescient
The City States are doomed, to be destroyed from within
They’re overblowing the June 6 protest and trying to connect it to Trump.
Face the Nation whipping up fear of ‘violent’, ‘extremist’ ‘insurrectionist movement’

Face the Nation leftists are warning of their coming attempt to violently overthrow the US government
Altho the 8 people posting on this thread are upset, Face the Nation speaks to an audience smaller than that of Sponge Bob. No One Cares About 1/6 except a small handful of leftists.
“The City States”
Interesting way of putting a handle on our ageing, rotting cities. With their large populations they have a disproportionate influence on the rest of us.
They even had a WORLD WIDE womens protest where professional whore Madonna threatened to blow up the White house. This went on for YEARS
My how fast people forget, and to hell with Republicans for not throwing that in Pelosis hypocritical plastic surgery deformed face.

Of course what they are really doing is trying to make the right compliant docile servants. Meanwhile the left not only advocates but exercises violence to achieve their goals.
The only real question is will the right get on their knees?
Is that not Arizona Man there in the middle front row wearing a red cap?
I fear what the government is doing to the economy and what the government will do to me and my family if we don’t keep getting their damn shots.
The first shots in creating the fake reality narrative of Trump partisans forming a Black shirt movement to over throw the rat regime. Watch for Lloyd the Stupid to push this lie to try and terrorize Trump voters in uniform.
The Democrats are running 3 fear narratives
Jan 6/Neo-Nazi/White Nationalists
Covid
Climate Change
You can really only push one. Jan 6 is only the Congressional Democrats #1. No one else except CNN cares. This does not affect ordinary Americans.
Covid is #2 and more rank and file Democrats care about that. They enjoy the control.
Climate is #3 and relegated to the nut wing of the Party for now. The nut wing, however, is starting to get irritated that they have been shelved for so long when they believe collapse is imminent.
An example of the media trying to set the narrative ahead of time for the sheep: Any voiced opposition to Joe Biden or the democrats is merely disguised insurrection and is a threat to democracy.
