To corrupt media, Democrats, and Big Tech, anyone who protested the 2020 election is no different than the fools who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
On the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the corporate media is working overtime to convince the American public that Republicans as a whole stormed the nation’s beacon of democracy at the beginning of 2021 and have waged a war on all that is good and decent. While lunatics and fools did invade the Capitol last January, tens of thousands of Americans peacefully assembled to demand answers from the government about what they believed to be the sloppiest election in which they’ve ever voted.
Political violence should always be condemned, but a majority of the people present in Washington, D.C., and on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 weren’t violent. Yes, hundreds of people stormed the U.S. Capitol in a riot, but tens of thousands of people of all ages, races, backgrounds, and lifestyles gathered together that day at the Save America Rally to protest the Democrats’ sleazy election manipulation and hear from President Donald Trump.
Crowds began to form early at the White House Ellipse where Trump was scheduled to speak beginning at noon. After hours of waiting in the cold, Trump supporters finally heard from the president, who encouraged them to head to Capitol grounds and “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Following Trump’s urgings, tens of thousands of people slowly and peacefully marched to the Capitol grounds to rally at multiple planned events, all of which were permitted through the proper, official channels. Many of the peaceful protesters were unaware until the end of the day of the vandalizing and looting that had occurred inside the Capitol.
As multiple reports suggest, violence was not even considered by the vast majority of the rally attendees who simply wanted answers about what they saw as the messiest election in their lifetimes. Multiple states had used COVID-19 as an excuse to loosen absentee voting protocols, opening up a window for bad actors to push their preferred candidates to the top.
In Pennsylvania, the Democrat Party circumvented the state legislature and instead used the leftist courts to make six changes to the state’s Election Code ahead of the 2020 election. These changes included expanding mail-in voting and drop-boxes and relaxing verification standards for absentee ballots. Some key states and counties even accepted money from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg through shady election-manipulating organizations designed to increase Democratic voter turnout.
These voters became even angrier when they realized how corporate media and Big Tech worked together to suppress stories that should have tarnished Joe Biden’s reputation and therefore his chances in the election. Whether the Democrats and their media cronies agree, these voters had every right to be upset and express their frustration peacefully at the feet of the government, legislators, and the system that they felt had betrayed them.
The idea that everyone who was at the Capitol grounds that day is an insurrectionist is patently and deliberately false. Yet the same corporate media outlets, Big Tech oligarchs, and Democrats who defended the arson, looting, and crime associated with the political riots after George Floyd’s death as “fiery but mostly peaceful” branded nearly everyone within a 10-mile radius of the Capitol an insurrectionist. These institutions gladly overlooked the numerous accounts of peaceful assembly, to wrongly conflate the rioters with protesters. Anyone who protested the election was no different than the horned-hat guy and the other fools willing to vandalize the U.S. Capitol.
The mischaracterizations didn’t stop in January of last year. For urging their state legislatures to listen to and take action regarding their grievances, Republicans as a whole are still being smeared by The New York Times for engaging in a so-called “bloodless, legalized form” of the Capitol riot. Just because of how they vote, Republicans are shunned for using the legal, rightful means presented before them to enact change that ensures safe and secure elections.
It is a familiar tactic often employed by the anti-Trump crowd, who use everything in their power, including political censorship, to disparage and tear down the reputations of conservatives and the former president. They think that by tarring all Republicans as Jan. 6 insurrectionists, they can prevent future GOP victories, and therefore prevent Republicans from taking action to ensure that the sloppiness of 2020 is never repeated.
To those who only have their office due to fraud it is.
Enough with the hysteria over Jan 6. In The words of Nancy Pelosi: (2018)
“I Don’t Even Know Why There Aren’t Uprisings All Over The Country”
The Dems set the tone. They’re lucky we’re more civilized than their cohorts in BLM and Antifa.
I am in first on this important opinion piece.
The way to fight back is not through the courts, elections or using “the system”. It is to literally tear this country down to the studs, and rebuild it. It is what the PTB are doing with full knowledge and effort today. We can either try and stop them, which is not possible without violence. So we may as well join in and then oust them in a very French manner when we are finished.
They want and are in the middle of a revolution, while we the true inheritors of the gift given to us by our Founders sit and wait for “the knock on the door”, a reinstallation of Trump or a voice from God. I tell you figuratively, that Paul Revere of today has already carried his message to the Colonists and they still slumber warm in their beds.
We should be at the very gates of the prison where demanding release of the Jan 6 political prisoners, and not carrying pitchforks and smart phones. It is the least we can do.
When the people fear government, you have tyranny. When government fears the people, you have freedom. Shouldn’t we be striking fear into them today?
mostly peaceful protest
Let’s be more accurate: mere trespass among other forms of non-violent protest isn’t insurrection. Otherwise, we might want to reconsider the non-violent protests of Martin Luther King, Mahatmas Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau. Logically, at some point, mere trespass crosses over to insurrection. A few in a large crowd committing vandalism or assaulting law enforcement, that’s edgy. The use of firearms, arson and bombs, that crosses over the edge.
When elections are rigged and peaceful protests aren’t allowed, when they take away your ability to earn a living, when they come after your children, especially when they come after children, that’s when insurrection might be justified. And, they are doing these things. This is why we absolutely have to win the next election, or we might have to consider the words of Patrick Henry, “If this be treason, make the most of it.” This is also why we absolutely have to defend the second amendment. The second amendment isn’t about deer hunting.
In our country, we have three national holidays celebrating the lives of individuals: one was executed for sedition, one won a war of rebellion, and the third led a non-violent movement. We in be like one of those three fellows, hopefully, the third one I mentioned.
bttt
I will repeat what I’ve said before:
No liberal democracy has ever stopped a bolshevik insurrection of the breadth and power of the one we are dealing with now.
You want to play by the rules? Loser. You want to be left alone? Not happening.
There are only two sides. One will win, one will lose, either way it’s going to be a mess. The Old Constitution has been annulled, stop talking about it.
After we win, we can get a better one - after all, it’s the 1788 original that allowed this to happen.
The (D)’s think so; any attempt to use your rights under the Constitution is considered terrorist acts.
By my unofficial count, after the 1/6 riots the riot score for left vs. right is now about 1000 to 1.
They have no intention of losing…..
The Most Terrifying Force of Death, Comes from The Hands of Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone.
They Try, So Very Hard, To Mind Their Own Business and Provide for Themselves and Those They Love.
They Resist Every Impulse to Fight Back, Knowing the Forced and Permanent Change of Life That Will Come from It.
They Know, That the Moment They Fight Back, Their Lives as They Have Lived Them, Are Over.
The Moment the Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone Are Forced to Fight Back, It Is a Form of Suicide.
They Are Literally Killing Off Who They Used to Be.
Which Is Why, When Forced to Take Up Violence, These Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone, Fight with Unholy Vengeance Against Those Who Murdered Their Former Lives.
They Fight with Raw Hate, And A Drive That Cannot Be Fathomed by Those Who Are Merely Play-Acting at Politics and Terror.
True Terror Will Arrive at These People’s Door, And They Will Cry, Scream, And Beg for Mercy...
But It Will Fall Upon the Deaf Ears of The Men Who Just Wanted to Be Left Alone.”
