Trump supporters who stormed the capitol think polite debate accomplishes nothing and thag they will be ignored. So they are now resorting to other means.

I wonder where they got that idea? Image
2/
When Bret Kavanaugh was sworn in protestors swamred the Supreme Court and pounded the doors.

They didn't get in, but not for a lack of trying
3/
In 2017 there were 5 people shot, and congressman Steve Scalise almost died, when a gunman with a list of Republicans opened fire at a practice for the congressional Republican Baseball team. ImageImage
4/
The mayor of Portland held a press conference *3 days ago* to discuss the lawlessness and violence Antifa had brought into his city.
5/
Now, don't misunderstand me. I am NOT condoning the violence. In fact I have already stated that we must bring in the troops to deal with the Trump supporters who have stormed the capitol.

Order must be restored and the seditious rioters prosecuted.

6/
That said, the elite media class of academics, influencers, celebrities, and *journalists* who make up the #resistence, spent all summer saying "riots are the language of the unheard," as a way of excusing and justifying violence, vandalism, and riots in the streets ImageImageImageImage
7/
This is an intentional strategy. The book Beautiful Trouble tells radical leftists to shift the overton window (the limit of acceptable opinion) ro the left by "amplifing and echoing the voices of those who take a position a few notches more radical than what you really want." ImageImage
8/
Here Oberlin college professor Jenny Garcia explains "when there’s violence, protests can make it a more salient issue and provide greater pressure on elected officials and candidates," and how that pressure created by violence is used as leverage by woke political activists.
9/
This is all extremely well thought out.
Alex Hundert defended "a diversity of tactics" (a euphemism for using violence) in Rabble Magazine. He explicitly says committing to non-violence is "dogmatic" and "stifles debate" about which tactics are ok. rabble.ca/news/2010/03/d… ImageImage
10/
What did people think would happen when Trump supporters figured out what was going on? They were going to go do the same thing.

None of that justifies what happened today. As I said earlier the trrops should be sent it, capitol stormers arrested, and law and order restored. Image
11/
The people who amplify the voices of fringe radicals to shift the debate and using violence at protests to create political leverage act as though this all came out of nowhere when Trump was elected.

Nonsense, those same people been teaching this to their activists for years

If you want to know how bad it is here is a story:

In 2017 after Donald Trump became President, a group of activists organized "The Women's March," which was covered in the media with positive coverage leading up to and following the March.... ImageImageImageImage
13/
The organizors of the women's march then decided to organize a general strike called "a day without a woman.

One of the women who helped organize "a day without a woman" and helped write the manifesto calling for "a day without a woman" was Rasmea Odeh. ImageImageImageImage
14/
Rasmea Odeh is a convicted terrorist. In fact, she gave an interview with the Journal of Palestinian studies in 1980 where she admitted she was part of the 1969 Jerusalem Supermarket bombing that killed two people.

But it gets worse... ImageImageImage
15/
At the 1972 Olympics in Munich, a group called "Black Steptember" took 11 Israeli olympians hostage. They demanded the release of 234 prisoners, many of them convicted terrorists.
There were attempts to free the hostages but they didn't work...
britannica.com/event/Munich-M…
16/
During one of the rescue attempts there was a mistake. The kidnappers became aware of the attempted rescue, so they decided the kill the hostages. All 11 Israeli's which included athletes, coaches, and other members of Israels olympic delegation were murdered.

Guess what...
17/
The Black September terrorists had a list of 234 prisoners (many who were convicted terrorists) they wanted freed in exchange for the lives of the Isaeli olympians. One of the names on the list was...

Women's March activist and "Day Without a Woman" organizer, Rasmea Odeh ImageImage
18/
When Odeh's terrorist ties were made public many activist groups and media people defended her, saying that she was being targeted for political reasons and not, you know, being a terrorist. ImageImageImageImage
19/
What Trump supporters did today was awful and those who vandalized and broke into the senate amd capitol ought to be punished to the full extent of the law. Troops must be sent to stop the Trump supporters if nothing else works. As I said earlier:

20/
But spare me the absolute nonsense about how this is new and different. Woke activists have pushed this exact form of politics for years now. It's wrong either way, and I've said that from the beginning of this account. Buut don't pretend any of this started with Trump.
21/
One last thing:

Trump people get your act together and stop this. Don't wave a blue
lives matter flag or a your thin blue line flag and then go the capitol or senate buildings and assault police officers. That is just a pile of nonsense and baloney.

I don't think the left realizes the degree to which giving puberty blockers and sex-changes to kids who wanted to change genders was a test of moral and intellectual integrity, and that test utterly destroyed the moral and intellectual credibility of everyone who failed it.
The people who went along with gender ideology didn't just end up on the wrong side of public opinion, they demonstrated for the whole world that they had no intellectual integrity, moral fortitude, and no ability to stand up for the truth or think for themselves.
The people who went along with gender ideology showed that they have no intellectual or moral anchors of any kind, and that they will pretend to believe anything and go along with any ideology in order to preserve their social standing and the esteem of their colleagues.

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.

They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.
They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.

This quote from Chase Strangio (ACLU's transgender lawyer) is a nice example of how the woke left fully adopted the views of the 60's counterculture.
They really believe things like "being trans" are a threat to "the system," and cultural rebellion will lead to revolution. Image
2/
The woke left and the 1960's counterculture had the same underlying worldview that said the entire culture is a system of ideology that maintains power by brainwashing the masses and socially conditioning people to accept the legitimacy of "the system" and their place in it.
3/
For this reason they think things like reforming institutions and changing laws are trivial and superficial solutions because they accept the legitimacy of the institutions and rules created by "the system"

For this reason, a much deeper solution is needed...

There is no split on the right.

Almost all of the MAGA base is with Trump and they support Israel over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Mullah's.

The Israel obsessed crowd and their anti-Semitic fellow travelers are a tiny minority and their influence is a mirage.
2/
MAGA is 77 million Trump voters, almost none of them care about the ideas of the dissident right (alt-right, woke-right,) online influencers. Trumps base is not turning on him and siding with Iranian Islamic terrorists just so online influencers can own the Israeli's...
3/
Trump has his own ideas, and makes his own decisions.

The influencers, thinkers, and writers who think they get to set the agenda and use Trump as a vessel to accomplish their own agenda have no ideas what's going on. So let me help everyone out:

Trump Decides.

That's it.

The riots happening in LA are not organic or spontaneous.

They're designed to look chaotic to cover up the fact that they're well funded, exceptionally organized, and carried out by well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.

Here's a primer: Image
Image
Image
Image
2/
First, notice the protestors have shields (pic 1)

These types of shields were used by the 2024 pro-Hamas rioters (pic 2), and 2020 BLM rioters (pic 3)

Each shield takes 3 hours to make, and activists spend all day making them (pic 4) That's not spontaneous, it takes planning Image
Image
Image
Image
3/
Those shields are not cardboard signs. They are designed to *look* like cardboard signs.

They're in fact made of plywood and have metal handles (as seen in the pics below). They have a cardboard sign attached to the front to disguise the fact that they're made of wood. Image

In the Trump/Elon dispute Elon represents fiscal reality, Trump represents Political reality.

Elon knows the Unite States is headed toward financial collapse caused by its debt, Trump knows voters will never accept the spending cuts and tax hikes needed to solve the debt crisis.
Elon is correct that the United States 36 TRILLION dollar debt will eventually crush the American economy and eat it's budget.

Trump is correct that voters will never accept the tax hikes or spending cuts (especially social security and medicare cuts) needed to pay off the debt.
Elon is saying "The financial crisis is coming. Either we deal with it now or we will deal with the financial collapse of the American economy."

Trump is saying "We can only do what is politically possible. Voters refuse to elect congressmen who will make large cuts to spending"
