I posted on Freerepublic in late December 2020 that it was a bad idea to hold a Trump rally in DC on January 6. I noted: 1) DC is Dem city where conservative rallyers couldn’t be assured of protection; 2) every previous Trump rally in DC had incurred violence from leftist thugs; 3) any violence that happened would be blamed on MAGA; 4) even if it wentboff without a hitch, the rally would be used by the media for distraction, so they could cover the rally instead of the congressional debate on the election’s process.
If I could forese all of this, why couldn’t Trump?
Bottom line: he was reckless and selfish to hold that rally in adC. He put his followers at risk. And he undermined his own cause by distracting from the planned presentations in Congress.
This was terrible judgment by Trump, and many of his followers have had their lives ruined because they answered his dumb call to come to a heavily Democratic stronghold on Jan 6
I essentially agree with your analysis.
Oh puhleeze!!
Conservatives are now banned in Dee Cee??!!
