Biden’s militarized inauguration showcased Democrats’ insecurity

Nothing says, “This was a perfectly normal election, and now it’s time to come together as a united nation,” like having your swearing-in behind 12-foot-high razor wire surrounded by 25,000 troops whose loyalty you doubt. That’s what we witnessed at President Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday: a grim testament to the fundamental insecurity and fragility of the re-ascendant liberal elite.

Democrats no doubt hoped that the optics of this military-heavy presidential installation would convince ordinary Americans that the republic is in peril from the populist ferment that sent Donald Trump to the White House in 2016 and garnered more votes four years later than any GOP ticket, ever. It’s a peril that can only be addressed by, in James Comey’s lovely phrase, “burning down” the Republican Party.

But the whole aura was less Lincoln and more bananas. As in banana republic.

Abe Lincoln had fewer troops to defend Washington during the Civil War, even though the Confederate capital of Richmond was just down the road. LBJ used only about half as many troops to put down the 1968 riots that killed more than a dozen, injured hundreds and did property damage that lasted decades.

I suspect #3 played a much bigger role than they will ever admit. Even at his drive in events, he couldn’t get more than a few dozen cars at best, and often times Trump supporters outnumbered supporters outside the venue.

Trumps final speeches got more views than Biden installation videos on the alphabet networks. They knew almost no one was gong to show, so needed a reason to keep others out.

“3. Make sure a HUGE Trump rally did not assemble on the mall and drown out the Biden sham installation“

I believe the above was the number one reason for these actions. Had Trump supporters been able to head to DC, the world would’ve seen exactly what happened here.

And just for fun, what did all the conservatives say after the 6th? Dont go, its a trap. Fell for the scam hook line and sinker.

They all looked like a bunch of criminals waiting on a police raid.

What must have been the feeling inside the motorcade, with no bystanders waving at you?

Basement Joe and your pals, welcome to the Beltway Gitmo.

They should have passed out some fake silencers to the National Guard.

Proof would be if this was done;
TO REVIEW THE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS
Canvass and investigate listed names of the military who supposed to have voted actually voted by calling them to see if if they did and who, if they don’t mind telling, who they voted for.

I thought of East Berlin and Checkpoint Charlie.

Proof would be opposite if this was done; Because the claim was 90% voted for Biden
TO REVIEW THE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS
Canvass and investigate listed names of the military who supposed to have voted actually voted by calling them to see if if they did and who, if they don’t mind telling, who they voted for.
