'It's not a silver bullet': Democrats weigh how to talk about January 6 on the 2022 campaign trail
CNN ^ | January 1, 2022

Posted on 01/01/2022 9:54:40 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

The January 6 insurrection may be a year behind Rep. Jason Crow, but the Colorado Democrat -- and many of his colleagues -- insist it would be a grievous error for his party to downplay the attack.

"I just disagree with this notion that we shouldn't talk about this and that we shouldn't talk about what is at stake here and that this isn't important to people in their everyday lives," said Crow, a United States Army veteran who consoled his congressional colleagues as pro-Donald Trump rioters attempted to break into the House chamber. "It would be a massive mistake for us to discount this."

Dems will have no problem making up any stuff they want. And their base will eat it and call it chocolate pudding.

Idiots.

For Democrats, January 6 is a classic "preaching to the converted" strategy, and will.alie ate swing voters given that Trump isn't even on any ballots.

I think harping on this will only resonate with the droolers in their base.

The rest of the country will respond with groans and yawns.

Nobody cares. Nobody cares about a riot labeled as “insurrection” when they can’t afford the gas to drive to a job that can’t pay the other bills. Nobody cares about Jan. 6 when a government is mandating new measures every other day to fight a pandemic and those measures fail. Nobody cares about January 6 when they see their country embarrassed by its avowed enemies, enemies who are now emboldened to push open war. Nobody cares when they see the January 6 rioters punished but ANTIFA and BLM free to act with violent impunity.

And those who do care are out of touch elites who push this type of stuff because they have contempt for the masses and believe that this shiny toy will distract from the ruling classes corruption.

I’m old enough to remember when the Democrats and their Brandon Media wanted to stop talking about 9/11 because it was bad for their political campaigns.

By all means, keep talking, Crow. Shoot yourself in the foot with that silver bullet.

Why not just lie about it, like they do about everything else?

As Rush used to say - sometimes you just have to illustrate absurdity by being absurd.

In that vein I propose a reenactment of important elements of the January 6 insurrection porn that Nancy Pelosi and the media keep peddling.

To wit, I propose a reenactment of the beating death of a capitol police officer with a fire extinguisher. Now, you would substitute a Nerf(tm) fire extinguisher for a real one, just so no one gets hurt. But I think doing that on or near as you can get to the Capitol (these days) would illustrate absurdity, if it were followed by video of all of the media repeating this falsehood for as long as they did (seemed to be weeks) after January 6th.

I like it! How about a choreographed marching group all dressed like Buffalo Horn Guy each with a nerf fire extinguisher?

Remember the lawn chair marching group of many years ago?

The left hates to be ridiculed.

“Insurrection”? Even the gays will be telling CNN to calm down with the fake drama.

Congress has had an approval rating between 15-20% for at least a decade. Most Americans are more upset that it was just a protest

Does CNN and their running dog Democrat political friends really believe Jan 6 is a major issue for independents who largely swing these elections with inflation, immigration, supply chain issues, covid, high energy prices, government debt and a host of other problems Dems caused and have not responded to really on the minds of independents. Pushing Jan 6 in preaching to their choir is a constant reminder of just how silly and irrelevant Dem politicians and their media mouthpieces are

January 6 will become 2022’s “Russia, Russia, Russia.”
