Three years ago, several hundred MAGA conservatives followed a man wearing a buffalo skull on his head into the Capitol.
Oh, I know there’s more to it – and we’ll get to that – but that will do for shorthand. Jacob Chansley, AKA QAnon Shaman. Yellowstone Wolf, etc., a professional activist of somewhat eclectic convictions and eccentric sartorial tastes, led the MAGA election fraud protestors up the steps and into the Capitol on Jan. 6, and they went straight in, without any hesitation or sign of second thoughts. Yes, there were others, but the Shaman pretty much became the avatar of the whole affair. The majority of those people, who did no harm and committed no felonies, have, in one of the most vindictive actions is recent political history, spent the last few years in prison under rough conditions, some of them in solitary, some denied counsel, most either overcharged or mischarged, and many of them still awaiting trial. That is wrong, and I am not suggesting that it isn’t wrong, or that it should not be corrected. But at the same time, it’s awfully difficult to generate any passion over people who act this stupid.
Conservatives like to accuse others of being sheep. But many of them say it while baaing.
The Jan. 6 “insurrection” was clearly a setup -- Nancy Pelosi refusing to bring in the National Guard, the doors opened by welcoming Capitol staffers and Capitol Police, unidentified masked figures racing around shouting “Let’s take the place!” This kind of thing doesn’t happen by itself. It is made to happen. The D.C. elites were desperate for their own personal Reichstag fire. When none was forthcoming, they lit it themselves.

These setups have become a predictable trend. Be aware and don’t get caught in any new ones in the next year or so.
*But at the same time, it’s awfully difficult to generate any passion over people who act this stupid.*
That includes Ashley Babbitt. My friends I’ll say it again-tough titty.
Ruling by fear. It is a real thing now. Not even the Constitution can protect us from it now.
The Tea Party held some rallies, but their main success (at least apparent success) was in electing candidates.
But now we know that the elections can easily be rigged and the MSM and DOJ will persecute and prosecute anyone who finds evidence or even suggests there were improprieties.
So what are we to do? If we engage in non-violent civil action then nothing happens. If we vote, then nothing happens. If we elect MAGA candidates who get honeypotted into becoming RINOs then nothing happens.
I guess we just need to stay home and eat popcorn while watching the country crash and burn.
*Whatever the temptation, don’t get involved in any can’t-miss save-the-country schemes.*
Think Vivek. Perot. Obama worked.
Like the Left itself, "J6" is a fraud but N3 is an ongoing attempt to overthrow our republican and representative form of government.
But invited and escorted kind of represents official permission/invitation to enter which counters any sort of charge of trespass.
Even if you fire half of the FBI....they’d just go to hiring more informants.
I don't care what office Chansley runs for or what his political label is. He is a FRAUD who gladly helped the deep state in their mission to ENTRAP sincere patriots on J6.
True.
When it becomes widely apparent that nothing will happen, we will stage a real insurrection like we did in 1775. Then something will happen.
dubious circumstances and hastily cremated within 48 hours
Agreed. It was stupid.
It SHOULD have been an insurrection. Outright takeover and restoration of the Republic.
Trying to do anything “peacefully” with people who had just STOLEN AN ELECTION was then and is now idiotic.
AMEN
*The D.C. elites were desperate for their own personal Reichstag fire. When none was forthcoming, they lit it themselves.* They’re smarter.
*One of the major failings of conservatism, and populist conservatism in particular, is something that could be termed “malignant naivete.” It’s a tendency toward hero worship,*
* too content to settle for a handful of magic beans.*
* What we also see is large-scale disappointment. Ross Perot turns out to be as crazy as a rat in a sack. Ann Coulter the golden girl turns into Ann Coulter the NeverTrumper. The rebel Nikki Haley turns out to be a closet elitist. Ron DeSantis has a staff packed with WEF alumni.*
The left will do all of this because it works for them.
Very good article
“IMO, Chansley was/is a CIA or FBI asset”
You mean the one they locked up in solitary confinement for years? LOL!
I am a lesser of two evils voter. I will vote for Romney over Maura Healy, G.H.W. Bush over Dukakis. I am not asking for much. But I would vote for a dead rat over Obama or Biden. Unimaginably evil. And Pelosi is one of the most maleficent people ever to rise to power in America. Dreadful people.
NO MORE J6s Tree top viewpoint - IMMATERIAL use of ink.
NO MORE N3s 40,000’ viewpoint - BETTER use of ink.
