No, actually, not much convincing was involved. Trump simply said, "sure I can do that"

Replying to @AMHotFlash @BidenSquadron and 5 others
I suspect mtg knew too. She was at the WH the night prior to the riot and she made a video I front of the Capitol that same night . A key word in her message was ‘fight’

I bet they believed the govt overthrow attempt was gonna be successful.

Since the district's creation, the worst a GOP candidate has done in a federal election was TPG, and he got 73%. I believe the "R" behind her name is all she needs in Georgia's 14th.

The battle-dressed helmeted ones with the kidnap gear were going to run the operation, or at least provide a tactical distraction. I really hope they can put the screws to them and get the details.

I believe they thought the day would ultimately end in martial law. The Joint Chiefs held against them, the few Capitol Police, local police, and National Guard that were there held against them until reinforcements arrived, and it all fell apart. Thank goodness.

too. They provided cover. They could not have pulled this off without those people.

There is no way this all took place spontaneously. And what about what I just read that Mo Brooks slept in his office the night before? And had a bulletproof vest on??

Geez if only we had some good hackers who could have recorded trump's telephone conversations that week

we finally begin speaking plainly. There is no antifa. There are 3-Per Centers, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers, to name but a few. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists many by affiliation (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/groups) These groups are organized and have named leaders. “Antifa” means anti-fascist. I am antifascist. My father fought in Europe in WW2. He was antifascist. There is no organization, no leader, no national structure. The word is a boogie-man created by the right’s fear and their media’s help. Ask one of these traitors to name one person who’s an antifa leader. It will be case closed.

Heck, I was scared leading up to 1/6. That's why it's incomprehensible to me that full security was not in place and ready for the attack. The 'We didn't get the memo' defense is ludicrous.

If there is a play book for Jan 6 insurrection, it was November 1917, what is known as the Bolshevik Revolution but what was called at the time an insurrection. A cadre of high level leaders targeting power and drawing together the shock troops to seize it. Lying to, about, and in some cases for the opposition, also known as enemies. Dividing the legislature into factions, and even though their party is in the minority, knowing how to marginalize, dismiss, rabble rouse their own followers and the public.

This is much about maneuvering to the time, place, the threshold of power and its transfer into their own hands. In 1917 other legislative bodies were dismissed, supportive leaders and forces were recalled from the front, the current government was in disarray, and Bolshevik proclamations propagandized popular ideas, put words in the opposition's mouth, and proclaimed victory all along.

I submit to you, in my opinion, the cadre surrounding TFG, the angry power-hungry elites, would have known all about these tactics which were historically tested as effective. None more so than Mr. "All hell is going to break loose ...."
