A lot of freepers were cheering the “storming of the capitol”. when I posted that this episode would play into the hands of the left by making MAGA look terrible, I was flamed as “weak”, too concerned with the movement’s “reputation” - as if that’s not an important thing. Churchill said that a good reputation is one of a man’s most cherished and valuable achievements, not to be squandered. One freeper poster said I’d make a good battered wife.

I hope the freepers who thought this “storming of the capitol” was a good idea - and who flamed me for suggesting otherwise - have had time and opportunity to reconsider. A woman is dead, and the MAGA movement is greivously damaged - and the Left has major propaganda victory that they’re using to try to oust Trump. They have a number of GOP fellow-travelers already on their train.

Today was a BAD DAY for the MAGA movement - and the wound was self inflicted by stupid people who invaded the capitol.

It was nothing.

You think anything doesn’t “play in to the hands of the left”?

But I think you’re mistaken it was Trump supporters who stormed the Capital. And of course that doesn’t matter because the media will play it always against us anyway.

It’s a script for a 1-star poorly acted ‘drama’.

I agree with your analysis...
It was not a good day for people who are opposed to liberal agenda...

Committing vandalism is not going to gain more support for the conservative cause.

A woman was murdered today for trying to climb through a window. Not for burning a car lot full of cars, not for burning a building, not for throwing Molotov Cocktails at police, for trying to climb through a window. And your response is that it’ll look bad in the same media that edits and alters what happens anyway?

Change your handle, Rintintin wasn’t a lapdog.

You’re an idiot. That person was right to compare you to an abused spouse.

We are far beyond the point where reputation matters.

And this was the first day of the real resistance.

Not to up to speed on things, are you?

This was a false flag.

Antifa infiltrated / was let in.

OMG! BUSTED! Video shows Trump supporters stopping & pulling away Antifa men from breaking the Capitol windows. Trump supporters are heard yelling out “That’s Antifa!!!”
Dems set us up & GOP just threw us under the bus over a trap. Surreal! Wow! pic.twitter.com/f7ExMZ0DcD— Melissa Tate (@TheRightMelissa) January 7, 2021

We’re way past MAGA. MAGA was to elect a president. We’re confronting the theft of our Law now. Time for somthing heavier than MAGA. In gunning down this woman and locking people into their hotels they’ve served notice that they will react swiftly and harshly where we are concerned.
