Journal by khallow
Once more, we have journals about the alleged insurrection of January 6. My take on that is that even if you're a US poster, the US is a free country and thus, you are free to be idiots. I'm also free to tell you that.
But you miss the real story. I quite agree that Trump riled up a bunch of loyal supporters and pointed them at the Capitol. I quite agree that he and his lackeys then dragged their feet on defending the Capitol from a riot that he caused. Those are shitty moves, but genuine politics - meaning any supporter who put up with his shenanigans (he's done worse) to that point isn't going to be concerned about some more shenanigans. Maybe it even rises to the level of insurrection though I'd like to see more there than some impotent whining that Trump didn't sign a confession.
The nasty move is near instantly throwing those supporters under the bus. This is the real Trump. They did what Trump wanted them to do and now they're fucked without a word of encouragement or any other support from Trump. Same goes for the people who filed all those useless lawsuits.
He's over it.
Here, we have naked betrayal of his most loyal followers - rewarded for their efforts with prison time and huge fines. If Trump's critics can't run with that, then we need a new batch.

Sorry people aren't swallowing your narrative and know how to apply simple language definitions to televised actions? We're so sorry your journal didn't go as planned, must be rough for you.

Forget to hit that 'post anonymously" box or do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

So what was the point of this journal?
Trump disgraced public office with his certifiable nonsense about how he "won", which he continues today.
Members of his far right personality cult got arrested.
The rest of the word watches on at the trainwreck with bemusement about a once proud civilization of truth justice and the American Way.
I don't gamble much but might put a few on orange 2024 just for the LOLs.

One of those three isn't like the other. His "far right personality cult" will care a lot more about those people who got arrested than they will care the other two.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. I'm still working on you, but I'm patient.

Is dating really that bad for rightwingers? Would explain your easily frustrated anger.
