First let's talk 'tactics' and 'strategy' in Trump's glorious Second Civil War that was supposed to start, and the New Confederacy was supposed to put Emperor Trump back into power

That was NEVER going to happen, but could have been INCREDIBLY bloody (even 10,000 dead)

We know now, that the January 6 attacks were pre-mediated, seriously pre-planned. Trump's White House and many in Congress were part of that terrorist plot. Trump primed the powder keg, then lit the match and tossed it into the explosives...

It WAS a surprise

There was a LOT of chatter on the maganutter webs, right wing social media like Parler, and the Qanon supporters on Twitter etc. It was coming - BUT the EXTENT of the hostility, violence, at the Capitol Building was a surprise.

And Trump's brazen vindictive acts to delay help..

Trump's brazen vindictive way to PREVENT the Federal assistance (National Guard) was not expected (it is criminal obviously).

That assault on Capitol Building did briefly SUCCEED (in at least part by help from the inside, including some cops). It resulted in 6 deaths incl 2 cops

Here's the thing. That kind of surprise attack will be a surprise only once.

Now ALL State Capitol Buildings, and all of DC - are AWARE of this threat, and FAR BETTER prepared for 17 January and 20 January. The 'Glorious Civil War' rebellion by New Confederacy - has already lost

I am NOT saying there won't be violence. Likely there will be. We may see dozens dead in various violent clashes (I hope there is no violence). This was PLANNED by the Maganutters.

Trump (being the idiot he is) messed that one up as well. Now the good guys have been warned

the Police know there are rotten apples - & be on the look out for them. The MILITARY know there are rebel militants among their ranks - and are on the look out for them. Congress knows there are traitors in their midst.

All this REDUCES level of actual violence this coming week

From a 'tactics' point of view, if it had been Trump's intention to launch a rebellion to put him into power - that should have been done on 1 day, not divided 2 weeks apart on 2 or 3 days.

We are luckly Trump is this dumb. We could have seen 10,000 dead in horrific civil strife
