I think you’re on to it. The whole boycott, go woke, go broke stuff doesn’t work. Elites have enough free Fed money they can paper over anything while they brainwash Americans into national suicide. These institutions must be undermined and destroyed. Good ole fashioned capitalism isn’t going to work.

The link needs to be posted again since this needs to be spread far and wide.... at least for this instance, it was Antifa trying to break in and it was Trump supporters who PREVENTED it!

This is NOT to say that Trump supporters didn’t do things they shouldn’t have yesterday..... they did. I suspect that Antifa lead the charge and a number of Trump supporters simply got caught up in the moment and did something stupid by going along with it.

As for what PDJT said yesterday, I think what I heard was “Now go and cheer on your Senators”.... I might not have the wording exactly right but it was something like that.

AP Analysis: Trump’s rage ignites mob assault on democracy

________________________________________________

The Legacy Press just can’t keep from insulting Trump supporters. It was Patriot rage that exploded yesterday. They are all big boy7s and girls; they can take responsibility for themselves.

See how it works...Now, I ask you, what exactly needs loud condemnation
..................

I know exactly how it works. For now we condemn violence. Over and over, so silence will not be construed as approval.

Tomorrow we start to build a coalition of patriots, knowing who to trust of the leftovers, and working with all our might to stop the globalist, marxist cabal from devouring us.

However, He whipped up further an already very angry crowd and in his own words “go to the capital building” ______________________________

Two points....

The first is this.... If you believe what you wrote, I don't think you understand quite how serious this fight is so let me spell it out.... Stop kidding yourself - America has its back against the wall and is in the death rows right now.

The second is this.... PDJT didn't incite anything and I listened to the whole speech live and plenty of segments of it since. Here's his closing remarks...“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!” Here's a challenge for you... find one shred of incitement in that quote and if want, go back and listen to the whole speech if you think I just was cherry picking by posting the last statements.

May I suggest that you have swallowed the gobbledygook of the feckless Congress and the LSM by believing that PDJT is a danger by is very existence... as opposed to what he actually says and does.

The AP and every other “news” outlet have been inciting violence against Trump and his voters for the last 5 years. The violence they incited actually resulted in cities being burned, looting, vandalism, rioting, and murder. This event at the capitol yesterday was far more mild than the “mostly peaceful” riots that the Media-Dem Party has been orchestrating for the last 8 months.

1. The crowd was upset and angry when they arrived. 2. President Trump whipped the crowd up further. 3. President Trump pointed the crowd to the capital to assemble at 1:00pm

I'm curious whether you were there. I was. The crowd was anything other than upset and angry either when they arrived or after Trump spoke. It was a party atmosphere. If you weren't there you have no business commenting.

“For now we condemn violence. Over and over, so silence will not be construed as approval.”

Nah, once. Condemn violence once. Anything more is posturing. I condemn the violence yesterday. I oppose the use of force in protest. But now, I remind you of a bit of history, our history:

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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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.

Don’t need you to explain anything to me, so get that out of you head now....

You used selective choice of the President’s remarks.......

PDJT fired up the crowd with the repeated calls that the election was stolen....that Pence will disappoint.....

What do you do to someone that stole from you?

You can suggest anything you want but to not recognize that PDJT had no influence on the events yesterday strains credulity.....

I will not confirm or deny whether I was there yesterday......

The crowd was jovial with each other but there was also a lot of underlying anger.......

So when did you see the crowd turn? Because it did.....

You just did. Sorry you missed it as it was a good time. Out of 250k or more people, one hundred or so got out of control. That is not the turning of a crowd.

________________________________

Hilarious response....I suggested to you that if you thought I was ‘cherry picking a quote’, you were welcome to go back to the whole speech and quote your own piece if you thought there was something there that fit the definition of ‘incitement’. Crickets....

Did PDJT have any influence on the events of yesterday? Yes he did by his very existence and his willingness to challenge the status quo. Based on what you wrote.... no one should ever step up to the plate to do that? That sounds like what you meant....

Look... there were PDJT supporters who did some things yesterday that they shouldn’t have. But based on a lot of evidence, it appears that the biggest thing that they did that was totally stupid was allow themselves to get sucked in by following behind Antifa and once that process started, it took on a life of its own. They were even warned that this could happen....,. https://twitter.com/TheRightMelissa/status/1347040212602466304

Trump is just a man, but they really are all about going after Trump supporters, and painting them all with a broad brush.

Eventually they will criminalize all opposition to the Deep State.

Agree completely. He was the spark that lit the fuse. He should have never called for a gathering on this day. I’m ashamed I voted for the man twice.

So, he and his supporters were just supposed to tolerate an election being stolen? You just wanted to rollover and do nothing? That makes you an idiot.

Trump didn't encourage or suggest any type of violence. It's quite likely Antifa members were the ones that broke out the windows. And, the media and swamp were ready to blame it all on Trump. And, you've fallen for all of it, hook, ling and sinker.

But no one can deny that his actions yesterday didn’t contribute.

When elections are stolen, you don't think there should be mass protests?

Trump didn't encourage any type of violence. There damn good reason to believe Antifa was involved committing the acts of violence and the media and swamp knew it and were ready to smear Trump. And, idiots like you buying the spin.

You should be zotted out of here.
