I have to break down this entire Dan Crenshaw video because it's completely insane. I can't believe nobody told me about it. And how is it not big news right now? So it starts with Dan giving a speech. But he's interrupted because he's needed for a special mission.
The Mission Impossible style briefing tells him: “Far left activists are attempting to gain full and total control of the US government.”
The computer voice says: "Should these senate seats be lost, all will be lost.”
A frame flashes "DANGER" then shows Dem legislators.
Then it shows a clip of Kelly Loeffler shooting.
The computer voice says: "THEY. MUST. WIN."
Then it flashes another DANGER caption.
So then Dan puts on a fancy high-tech helmet with holographs or whatever and jumps out of an airplane.
But oh no! There's a problem! Anti-fascists are patrolling the area looking for Crenshaw! (The computer voice clarifies helpfully that the anti-fascists are actually the real fascists)
The computer voice suggests he diverts away from danger, but Crenshaw wouldn't dare. He lands directly on the hood of the car, at which point the anti-fascists scream, and then he punches through the windshield.
The video ends with pictures of Crenshaw, Perdue, and Loeffler over shards of bloody broken glass.
I'm sure Dan Crenshaw thinks he was just having fun playing action movie star for the camera. But this video is no different that 90% of the QAnon stuff on YouTube. In fact, I'd say it's way more incendiary. It's sick to be broadcasting this to angry MAGA people.

I have some wild updates on yesterday's thread about @mattgaetz's floor speech about "antifa agitators" that may end up with the facial recognition company suing the Washington Times, which would be funny...
This morning, Buzzfeed interviewed XRVision, the facial recognition company mentioned in the Washington Times article who supposedly identified antifa at the capitol. They’re mad, because as I discussed yesterday, they actually identified neo-nazis.
JOURNALISTS: Let me help you debunk the lies in the @mattgaetz floor speech about a “facial recognition company” discovering antifa agitators. It all comes from a fake news article from the notorious Washington Times. I will break it all down for you…
So this is the story. Some military retiree sent the Washington Times a purported “facial recognition.” Two people “matched” Philly antifa members. One has a “Stalinist sympathizer” tattoo. Another was BLM protests “in the West.”
Look, I don't want to split hairs but the guy was proposing that right-wing death squads murdering rioters might be a good thing, for political ends. What do you want me to call that? Just give me a word and I'll use it. If it's "liberal," ok, but that seems weird.
Like, I'm sensitive to this "everyone you don't like is a nazi" thing, I get it, but when a guy starts musing about how bona-fide nazis "have his blessing" to start mowing down rioters, it's absurd to have a public scolding about using the term nazi as a form of ridiculing that.
When someone gives their blessing to nazis murdering people in the BLM unrest and I can't say "fuck off with that nazi shit," then what purpose does the word serve? Just put it in a museum. It has no colloquial content.
Twitter posting is part of your business. It is not part of mine. I redistribute corporate wealth directly to working families using the courts. You rant while playing video games and build your brand. I'm on Twitter to blow off steam. You're part of the whole dog and pony show.
And don't let anybody ever trash you with this logic. Posting is good. The people you meet, the comradery you build, it's meaningful. And a lot of real stuff begins online. It's a better use of your downtime than playing Fruit Ninja or whatever.
Do not ever look at me, and tell me, that posting is not good.
