That Antifa guy the facial recognition supposedly caught false-flagging the Capitol yesterday turns out to be a well known QAnon douche from AZ.

Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol

Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year.

Angeli was seen in photographs from Washington, D.C., amid protesters who turned violent and stormed the building, causing both chambers to suspend their intended action of the day: certifying the results of the presidential election for former vice president Joe Biden.

This dopey photo is making the rounds as if it offers some kind of proof.

The three people in that photo:
    - Jake Angeli, the QAnon douche from AZ
    - Jason Tankersley, founder of the Maryland Skinheads
    - Matthew Heimbach, National Socialist Movement

    When I hear about Laura Ingraham, Matt Gaetz, and the rest of the brain dead douchebags trying to push this Antifa connection bullshit, it really makes me wonder: Do they not realize that when democracy dies is America they won't have any either? Seriously. What's the end game?

    Seriously. What's the end game?

    Basically, reelection... The game itself is the endgame, keep it running, resolve nothing. Works pretty well. Only 13 incumbents were voted out, or maybe it's 15 now.

    They are clones. Think about it, even if you are fighting Mike Tyson you could still win... As long as you have enough clones.

    John Sullivan from Utah is a founder of Insurgence USA (a BLM / Antifa aligned social justice group) who was there when that lady was shot. [ptnewsnetwork.com] He's claimed he was there to document the protests. So the nuanced take is: A suggestion of Antifa involvement may be dismissible but is not entirely without merit.

      Kill all Trump supporters! Mostly by denying them health insurance. (Worked for at least three of them, at the riot.) And outshoring their jobs, like alleged Senator Perdition has done. And, by encouraging them to climb through broken windows while storming the House Chambers. Oh, shot dead? QAnon will not save you. Death is a mercy in cases like this. If only Mike Kelly, Lonesome Rhodes, and whats-her-name from Georgia could find a separate peace like that.

    They don't believe it would truly die, they think they will be able to punish their enemies and remain in power. Truly they are too stupid to realize the consequences of their actions because they are too greedy to bother thinking it through. It is the same with every authoritarian take over in history, the instigators think it will result in justice and there can never be negative consequences for themselves.

    Simple: they think they won't need it, since they believe they'll be in charge. Democracy isn't for the leaders after all, it's a sop for us little people.
