Yeah Cus, you kinda did say that...

I said absolutely nothing of the sort. I just said that there were other people there with other interests. I didn’t assign any level of blame to those people. Feel free to show me where I did.

There were good people there. The cops and then there were the MAGAs.

I have caught up with most of the DNC. First, I have been more of an Adam Kinzinger Republican than a Democrat.

Identity politics, self esteem, and cancel culture are or were turn offs. I also remember when they were the ones banning books -- Huck Finn, Mocking Bird, etc.

That said, I am impressed.
These are more like Clinton Democrats. Where have they been hiding Kamala Harris?

I like the positive message and the joy. Big contrast with the nastiness of the people posing as Republicans.

I might actually cast a meaningless vote for Harris and Walz.

You “both sidesd it” pretty firmly. Which is utter bullshit. MAGA was responsible for 1/6. Several thousand of them.

Why even bring them up if you weren’t trying to assign them at least part of the blame?

The insinuation is that they were provocateurs.

I think you’d have to be insane to think there aren’t agent provocateurs involved with just about anything like Jan 6, the GF riots, Ferguson, etc. The stakes are too big to not attempt to engineer the optics. Some are just pot stirrers or adrenaline junkies.

Agent Provocateurs satisfies Occam’s razor much more adequately than believing these are always homogeneous groups, especially when things have been escalating for weeks or months leading up to when the shit hits the fan. It’s going to attract crazies from all walks of life.

Why would anyone bother going to DC to be an "agent provacteur"? The dude with the viking hat didn't need to be prodded, nor did the rest of them.

Of course, the alternative is "Trump supporters are so fucking stupid that some antifa dude could throw on a MAGA hat and convince them to go storm the Capitol". If they are that fucking stupid, what does that say about their ability to make a good decision when voting?
