Are Republicans really planning on brushing the 1/6 insurrection under the rug once they take power in November?

[jcgriff2]

Certainly seems like it based on all they have said so far.

But remember: two can play that game. If you do, you are going to have so many “stop the steal” movements all over the country on your hands, from the local to the federal level, you won’t know which end is up.

We will play “be like Trump”, because obviously it’s a model which is proving to work very well. We will call any election we don’t like “rigged” and call to “stop the steal”. The crowd turnouts will be the largest in history, believe me! We will threaten to hang public officials and disrupt government functioning.

We may or may not be armed with firearms and heavy weaponry. You won’t really know. But it’s none of your business, because after all the whole purpose of firearms by the Second Amendment is to take down governments any time we don’t like it, right? So we will just be practicing our Second Amendment rights, and it’s none of your business if we are heavily armed or not.

We will then pretend it was just a peaceful protest or just a friendly tour of the state and federal government buildings. And if 1/6 can be overlooked, so too can these protests. The legal precedent will have been set. It will all just get brushed under the rug, and this will be the routine new way government functions (or not) here in the United States. Don’t go crying to the courts at that point. But hey, you never liked Government anyway and thought we would all be better off without it, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

You ready to play that game? Hey it’ll be fun!

There is no such thing as a 1/6 insurrection.

It was a minor skirmish.

Besides, the dems have investigated this to death for 15 solid months and came up with absolutely nothing, nothing at all.

What was its intent- other than to “stop the steal” and overturn legitimate US elections? That security was able to whisk away the US leadership they wanted to kill based in n lies from a corrupt politician and con man they worshipped does not wash away their intention. Intentions and motives matter in the law.

Besides, the dems have investigated this to death for 15 solid months and came up with absolutely nothing, nothing at all.

You must be watching too much Fox News.

The law may be slow, but it’s not stupid. Reminds me of another popular criminal and wise guy who kept evading the law- the original “Teflon Don” John Gotti. He always would have an arrogant smirk on his face coming out of courtrooms after giving the frustrated prosecutors the slip yet again based on some clever defense - walking out to large adoring crowds cheering him for “sticking it to the man” yet one more time- until he didn’t.

Why Did the Working Class Love John Gotti So Much?

Journalist Murray Weiss tells us why working-class people loved John Gotti, how the Mafia has changed since the 1980s and what it was like for John Gotti Jr. to leave the mob.

Yes. The Trump base is not going away anytime soon either- with or without Trump.
