EXACTLY. You said it better than I did. Certainly there were factions within factions that were organizing this on some level, but a lot of it was a sort of convergence of disparate elements. The hundreds of Maga cheerleaders provided covers for the handful of people who had planned this and who it actually planned to commit acts of violence against pence and Democratic Congress members. A lot of what seemed coordinated after the fact I think was just played by ear as it was unfolding, so that the telling of the events afterward seemed more organized than it was. But there was a lot more organization than there should’ve been. And what will be interesting is to see how all of these separate factions either coordinated with each other in reality, or if it just seemed that way later. Where are the proud boys communicating with the Secret Service? Were capital police officers told to stand down? Did the people responsible for sending enough officers to protect the capital know that there was going to actually be a literal insurrection, or were they just under playing it because it was their own people who were protesting
I keep remembering one woman who was interviewed that day. She was wiping her eyes, saying she'd been pepper-sprayed, and was incredulous that Capitol police "were attacking the patriots." At no point did this woman even consider that what she was doing was illegal, or that the police they were attacking might fight back.
"What's more, the firearms the Oath Keepers had cached at a hotel outside DC were only for defensive purposes in case Antifa showed up and attacked them."
I'm thinking if you need to defend yourselves against Antifa (ie: anti fascist, also too, more of a ideal than an organization), then you're pro fascism (ie: Fascism : a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.)
And what did Trump ever do for them but give them permission to piss and moan about everyone who isn't so privileged and entitled and therefore a loser?
And Trump believes that being on teevee is a sign of success. Look at all the attractive young-ish things he hired because they were telegenic. Any competencies are only incidental. Miz Kayleigh immediately springs to mind: Girl has a law degree and was a nothing more than a shill for a moron.

And hickies.
His first name is actually Elmer, which probably explains a lot.
But he wasn't vewy, vewy qwiet about doing so.
I saw an Oath Keeper license plate up here.Methinks I've found the lady who doth protest too much.
Cuz only the truly dumb would attack civs in their chosen manner...this is an inside story.

Fuck them fascist guys and gals.
Sorry, horrible sentence structure. Fuck me...
"French kissing in the handball courts" Fuckin"A! I remember those days well!

Nope, but actively fundraising off the "patriotism" of these people in "defending freedom" and "their President". Grifter to the bone.
Yes, many people have correctly pointed out that when you hire violent gangs to "protect" you, things can and probably will go horribly wrong.

In '75 she kissed with bubble gum flavored lip gloss on her lips. I still remember it well.
Also too, on November 7, 2021, Rhodes wrote that he really needed Trump to have more spine...
Spine? Trump? Have you seen his posture?.
