My take on Jan 6th

Many on the right are blowing it off as a protest much like any previous BLMs protests and many even on the left don't even argue the point. However I thinks it's now becoming more apparent that Trump and company rolled the snowball to the edge of the hill and gave it the push with hopes that by the time it got to the bottom it would be tremendous and uncontrollable. I really think they had operatives in place to incite a real takeover of our government hoping not only capital police but an eventual military response would be to flip and join in a hostile takeover military style cue.

Leaving the door wide open for Fascism to march in. If Mango Mussolini is prosecuted who the hell knows what could happen then? The right wingnuts of America have done a pretty good job of boxing in Democracy

As it turns out many police and military were in the crowd. But on the whole the military was loyal to the country. Not loyal to the cult leader. Thank goodness
