History 101: The Left Is Awakening a 'Sleeping Giant'
PJ Media ^ | 7 Apr 2022 | Kevin Downey Jr

Posted on 04/08/2022 2:28:37 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Conservatives are held to and hold ourselves to a higher standard. Unlike liberals, wholesale riots are not our game.

“But what about the ‘insurrection’ on Jan. 6?!?!?”

If you still believe that 300,000 Americans, many of them well over 50 years old, showed up without guns to take over the United States, I’d like to sell you a unicorn that farts silver dollars.

Jan. 6 was a reaction to what people thought was a stolen election. Patriots of every age and race showed up to listen to Trump speak. Then the mostly peaceful crowd walked to the Capitol. Yes, there was some rioting. But if 300,000 people showed up and a mere handful were arrested, that would be the true definition of “mostly peaceful,” as opposed to the CNN definition. If the crowd wanted to take the Capitol, they would have done it. That was never the plan.

The left spent two years locking down American citizens in blue states. They lied to us about how dangerous COVID-19 really was. They forced us to wear ineffective masks and stand on stickers at the grocery store to “save lives.” They made us watch our parents die in hospitals via our phones because COVID was just too dangerous for us to be in the room to say goodbye. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo killed roughly 12,000 elderly people and never paid the price for it. Govs. Tom Wolf (D-Pa.), Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.), and Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) slaughtered elderly people too and skated.

Never thought I'd see the day when conservatives sank to CNN's level and tried to whitewash a riot.

This is a peaceful conservative protest:

This is not:

This l can say without reservation. If the situation was reversed and the rats had as much reason to believe it was a stolen election as we do they would have burned Washington to the ground.

True but what they did for BLM would look like a marshmallow roast compared to what they would do if they really thought a Presidential election was stolen.

bullsh#t....

The fake results and rigging of the election prevent that from EVER happening. That’s why we never quite get the “conservative” tidal wave.... just a bunch of compromised fakers yapping about God, Abortion, “I’m gonna launch an investigation”...and on and on....

Meanwhile the FBI, DOJ, IRS and all the apparatchiks of the deep state laugh at us...and at all Americans.

When was the last time a congressman, FBI agent or ANY federal agent get prison time for lying, cheating, stealing, falsifying testimony, tampering with federal documents, obstructing justice by destroying hard drives, and on and on.... NOTHING. NEVER...

It’s all Kabuki theater to keep us agitated against fellow citizens and generally manipulated.

Remember what a “badass” Trey Gowdy was... such a poser... all of them. The ones they destroy or assault are the only ones fighting for American citizens... the rest are thieves, cowards, quislings and sexually confused and lost souls.

Looks like pix of the tunnel incident where Trump supporters were tear gassed and beaten up by the Capitol Police et al. Those trying to escape the tunnel were trapped by others just outside the tunnel.

Videos of the Capitol breach clearly shows that professional agitators initiated the attack, including Antifa and the FBI.

Why doesn’t Pelosi and the DOJ release all of the evidence? I’ll tell you why. Because they are American tyrants.

They were fully prepared to burn it down if Trump had won, no matter how legitimate the win may have been.

Question: if the Capitol police were just looking for innocent Trump supporters to attack and all the actual violence was done by Antifa and the FBI, how did the police only beat up and tear gas Trump supporters? How could they distinguish genuine Trump supporters from Antifa agitators? Having seen pix and videos, nobody really stood out to me as an obvious Antifa plant (which doesn't mean there weren't any, of course). For that matter, why would Antifa riot to stop the certification of their guy Joe? Or plant a false flag when their buddy Xiden was going to be inaugurated anyway?

I hadn't heard about Pelosi trying to suppress evidence. Could you provide a link for that please? So far googling "January 6 investigation" just brings me to a bunch of left-wing news and Wikipedia, which states Nancy Pelosi started the January 6th commission, which was opposed by some Republicans on procedural grounds. Why wouldn't the Rats just dismiss January 6th the way they always do when Antifa riots? And why would the Republicans block an investigation that could prove Antifa's involvement? Are they ALL in this Antifa/FBI conspiracy too?

Sorry to bother you with all these questions, but there is a lot of stuff about January 6th that just doesn't add up.

California already threatened to secede from the Union if Trump had won the 2020 Electoral College but not the “popular” (illegal alien) vote. Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington would have followed the Sacramento politburo’s lead. Trump couldn’t have let Red China’s hordes have a beachhead in this country. Thus he would have been the only president other than Lincoln burdened with the terrible duty of waging all out war against other Americans.

You cannot find that for which you do not look. Obviously you do not follow ‘The Gateway Pundit’ or “The Liberty Daily.” The first videos I watched after the Jan. 6 steal, showed behavior outside/inside the Capitol exactly like that of Antifa/BLM rioters during the summer of 2020. These people were not Trump supporters, they were professional agitators, evident by observing their behavior. There were close to one million Trump supporters attending that rally. Why did previous rallies not end in a riot? If the Whitmer kidnapping was an FBI false-flag, which it was, why not the Jan. 6 breach? A Duck-Duck-Go search brings many links to the top. There is a video of the Capitol Police firing flash-bang grenades and tear gas into the crowd, a crowd that included women and children. Here’s one of many videos.

If this link doesn’t work, many other links are easy to find if you look. I am surprised that you are are that misinformed. A reasonable person would have knowledge that something was amiss. Do you work for the FBI? Are you a Democrat? Did you recently return from a trip to Jupiter? Are you Cher?
Just kidding.

President Trump asked the Pelosi for 10,000 National Guard troops for the Jan. 6 rally but she-it refused to provide them. Then barriers were set up after Biden was installed. Don’t you think that this behavior is suspicious? The Capitol breach occurred after the electors from Arizona were successfully contested by a member from the House and a member from the Senate. Then Pence abdicated his responsibility as VP and allowed the steal to proceed, in the dead of night (see the Election Act of 1877).

The Jan. 6 Committee is a Democrat plot to convict Trump of a felony so he won’t be able to run in 2024. Didn’t you know that? Honestly. Didn’t you find it suspicious that Rep. Jim Jordan was not allowed by the Pelosi to be on the committee? Are you that naive to believe that the Dem Unselect Committee would allow evidence proving Antifa/FBI involvement? Didn’t you know that the CIA, FBI and DOJ are hopelessly corrupt (see Spygate, Trump Impeachment I and II, Hunter’s laptop from hell).

Why are many Jan. 6 protestors still in a DC jail while most of the Antifa/BLM rioters of the summer of 2020 were never prosecuted? The Trump supporters in jail should have been convicted of simple trespassing, not an “insurrection.” The Capitol Police either stood down (see Ashley Babbitt) or encouraged the Trump supporters to enter the Capitol. I don’t know why I waste my time. Maybe to inform those who really give a damn.

Well yes, I wasn’t serious. I have thought maybe the wall should be on CA’s eastern border to protect the rest of the US.

The link you provided doesn't show anyone getting tear-gassed, just the rioters breaking into the Capitol building. Perhaps you meant to post another link? In any event I have seen videos of the Capitol police tear gassing the rioters. I have also seen videos of the rioters attacking the police. Funny how the latter tends to lead to the former.

Obviously you do not follow ‘The Gateway Pundit’ or “The Liberty Daily.”

No, actually I prefer to watch the video of what happened by itself without commentary. I prefer to think for myself rather than have some condescending talking head tell me what I should be thinking, regardless of which party said talking head supports.

These people were not Trump supporters, they were professional agitators, evident by observing their behavior.

So you're saying that because they were violent, they could not be Trump supporters? Literally every political movement has its share of crazies and our is no exception. 225 January 6th defendants have pleaded guilty so far. If they're Antifa, why would they plead guilty if they know their Rat buddies will exonerate them? If they're Trump supporters who are in fact innocent of any crimes, why would they plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit?https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4053719/posts

Then barriers were set up after Biden was installed. Don’t you think that this behavior is suspicious?

Not really, I find it perfectly in keeping with our government's general incompetence. Much like the security Kabuki theater installed in our airports after 9/11. The FedGov never closes the barn door until after the horse has run away and when they do it's only because they know the public expects them to do something.

The Jan. 6 Committee is a Democrat plot to convict Trump of a felony so he won’t be able to run in 2024.

That I'm willing to believe, but if so they've made quite a hash of it. They will likely lose control of Congress in November, at which point any prosecution of Trump will go nowhere. It would have been more politically expedient just to sweep the whole thing under the rug like they do with every Antifa riot. Their guy was still going to be inaugurated, after all, regardless of whether a January 6th commission was formed or not. I guess it's just hard to believe that Pelosi, after so many years of political scheming, could have made such a blunder.

Didn’t you find it suspicious that Rep. Jim Jordan was not allowed by the Pelosi to be on the committee? Are you that naive to believe that the Dem Unselect Committee would allow evidence proving Antifa/FBI involvement?

Oh, I'm not suggesting the Rats would willingly produce evidence that Antifa was involved. But the Republicans on the committee could find the evidence and find a way to leak it to the press. Or they could have if McCarthy hadn't thrown a hissy fit and pulled ALL his nominations to the committee after Pelosi rejected Jordan. That was an own goal on our part.

The Capitol Police either stood down (see Ashley Babbitt) or encouraged the Trump supporters to enter the Capitol.

Uh, the Capitol Police shot Ashley Babbitt as she forced her way through a window. That's not my definition of "standing down".

Maybe to inform those who really give a damn.

As I hope my posts have made it clear I do give a damn. I give a damn about criminals damaging property and assaulting police officers, regardless of which way they voted. Otherwise we're no better than the criminal-coddling Rats.
