I’ve intentionally not commiserated directly on what Trump did and did not do, what Trump did and did not say on and around January 6th. Part of that was in anticipation that there would be virtually no unvarnished reporting on events and presumed blame. Each day since, the ‘riots’ look more complex than at a cursory glance. I initially commented on the notion “Was this an event planned by seditionist or a mindless spontaneous stampede directed and inspired by Trump? Which is it? You can’t have it both ways.” My skepticism was and remains primed if for no other reason, based on the mainstream media rhetoric over election integrity, calling them such things as ‘rumors, lies, hate, or even sedition’. That mismatch of adjectives before the riots remains a telling blight on the credibility of leftist/Big Tech narrative after the riots.
Now that one to two news cycles have passed, I’ve finally found an account that would detail exactly what Trump didwithout the heavy handed overlay of what we’re expected to think. Barring some additional evidence, accusation of Trump instigating either a riot or sedition is baseless. Suddenly we see that Trump is actually the victim of a coup and not the other way around. I make it clear in my last several posts that the riots were a historic scale screwup reflecting on a profound lack in some quarters of conservative leadership. That may very well include Trump, but even now, I’m delaying on my own conclusion. As long as the new regime keeps gaslighting us on election integrity – even as it’s now irrelevant news, I will not trust anything that Big Tech and Big Media say regarding Trumps complicity in the riots. Trump is not my main concern, even if for some sense of righting any wrongs like the hijacked election. He’ll be out of office in ten days and I’m far more concerned with managing the regime that comes after. My allegiance is to conservatism, not Trump.
As for the elections, if you’re one of most that declare “but the courts” as the only authority for wrongdoing on the election, I can’t help you. If your Pollyanna understanding of the judicial process only encompasses right, wrong, yes, no, as a binary choice, you’re pretty naive. Maybe you’ve never heard of procedural issues and errors, matters of jurisdiction, or the challenge of ruling on complex constitutional issues with federalism in a matter of days. Or perhaps you could never imagine as per one account, Chief Justice Roberts yelling at his peers at his fear of riots if they rule in any way favorable to Trump. You could never imagine a judge or a court panel lacking courage? If you’ve never watched video surveillance of the ‘midnight’ physical irregularities, are unaware of the 2000 plus signed affidavits, or have not read or rendered an intelligent opinion on multiple data forensic reports [math is science btw] generated in the aftermath of the election; if you’re still sold of the stock phrase, “there’s no proof”, you’re not qualified to hold a discussion on the matter with to begin with.
Why does this even still matter? Because the media and social consequences are being used to persecute individuals over their convictions on election integrity. Anyone with convictions that the election was fraudulent have already been openly associated with charges of sedition by legislators, tech moguls and other activists. Essentially, close to half of the United States population are now marked men and women, co-conspirators of Donald Trump, whether they even like him or not. Fascism is a way overused cliché in America, but we’re now really seeing it in earnest as an institutional doctrine from the left for the first time in American history.
I know family and friends that believe that it’s entirely appropriate to de-platform anyone over any support of Trump now, any question about his complicity in the riots, and over their convictions of election integrity as part and parcel of the above. I would just ask them about the next logical dystopian steps in this narrative: What happens when FB comments, facial recognition at or near public assemblies sympathetic to conservatives, or donations to any local or national lawmaker having been duly cancelled by a left/woke/fascist regime results in the revocation of credit cards, drivers license, or ‘qualification’ to board a plane. What happens when the causes of such sanction are extended to narrative or practice about the state’s Covid initiatives, or about your ability to meet in a church building. Don’t be fooled, Big Tech already has the data and infrastructure to do this, it has already been successfully done in China with the assistance of our Big Tech companies and the precedent and rhetoric necessary to do these things is already in full force these past few weeks in the United States of America. Some of you are already playing right into this in the name of ‘mature reasoned discussion’. Some of you have even Christianized that level of ignorance.
One can and should condemn the 1/6/21 riots as an unlawful act that should be punished and there it should stop. You do not need to love or hate Trump to do that. The flying monkey left should be careful what they wish for and should also be careful in their lust for subjugation and dominion that is in full swing. Right now, they have the forced allegiance of peers that were rightfully indignant of the riots but wrongly attributed to the President. That compelled assemblage of involuntary peers will not abide by the new reign of terror for long before they lose them as they surely will; that combined with the nearly one half of the country that is being demonized by association.
