Trump's insurgency is a clear and present danger to America, and if those folks in the Capitol didn't get the message on January 6, I suspect none of us will miss it when the next attack comes.
You don't play with domestic terrorism—you *defeat it*.
The thing no one in DC seems to understand that I would've thought someone in intel would've explained to them by now: DOMESTIC INSURGENCIES DON'T TAKE BREAKS.
They're don't merely "go live" when attacks happen—and they're not always about violence. They *daily* erode democracy.
Bannon defying Congress is part of the insurgency. The "Big Lie" is part of the insurgency. Bannon's recent "shock troops" speech is part of the insurgency. The Oath Keepers seeing record membership gains is part of the insurgency. And Trump's likely 2024 bid is part of it, too.
All these post-election "audits" are part of the insurgency. All these new "anti–election fraud" statutes—which only aim to attack voting rights—are part of the insurgency. Graham getting booed for discussing the vaccine is part of it.
IT WASN'T JUST JANUARY 6.
I mean, *Jesus*.
Because I run a publication that focuses on the ongoing domestic insurgency—an outlet that's as focused on the insurgency when it's *administrative* as when it's *violent*—I'll sometimes get a note saying, "I'm sick of January 6."
That person doesn't understand what's happening.
"January 6" is a placeholder term for an ongoing domestic insurgency in this country that has political, legal, administrative, cultural *and* paramilitary components. If you think that January 6 was just a *day*, you don't understand anything about the threat this country faces.
You can't be "sick of January 6." You can say—and some do—"I'd like to stick my ignorant head in the dirt for a few years and pretend everything is peachy because the alternative is too hard." And the *reason* you can say that is because—for a little while longer—this is America.
But the more *you* stick *your* head in the dirt re: the insurgency, the more *other* people do too, and the *shorter the period* you can do so because the *shorter the period* this is still America.
Can I be any clearer than that?
America is now facing an *existential threat*.

(BREAKING NEWS) Trump Loses Hundreds of Thousands or Even Millions of Gen Z and Millennial Voters By Promising to Ban Earth's Most Popular Art Form: Video Games with An Adult Rating for Violence*
*If you think you know how big video games are, think again
MORE/ The most famous fan of violent video games in the world is Elon Musk, who is currently slated to be co-president with Donald Trump if Trump is elected in November.
Today may be the day Musk realizes what a huge mistake he made by throwing in his lot with a(nother) fascist.
MORE/ Video gaming is the largest, most popular, most lucrative entertainment industry on the face of the Earth. The chief consumers of violent video games represent maybe half the white male MAGA base. This is as big a political misstep as I've ever seen. time.com/5644120/donald…
(📢) NEW at PROOF: Prospective Trump Co-President Elon Musk Got Rich Off the Backs of Exploited Black Laborers in Africa
🔗:
This is the most comprehensive report you’ll ever read on this subject, and it goes way—way!—beyond this subject. Please RETWEET. sethabramson.substack.com/p/proof-exclus…
1/ You want every single detail you could ever want about the apartheid-era Zambian emerald mine that made Elon Musk rich and that he has lied about for years? With full, reliable sourcing? It is here and you will be horrified.
2/ Do you *also* want every detail on the lies Elon has told about University of Pretoria, Queen’s College, University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University—essentially his whole academic record, which is marked by thoroughly nonsensical claims?
1/ This report will be throttled by Musk and his algorithm to within an inch of its life. The request to RETWEET this is a desperate one, as it simply will not be seen otherwise.
2/ This is an extremely long report. The number of citations is practically endless, and the text itself is a novella in length. It will take time to read.
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Proposes Using U.S. Military Against Political Critics in Confirmation He Will End American Democracy, Violate the U.S. Constitution, Provoke a Historic Constitutional Crisis and Possible Civil War, and Become the Dictator He Has Openly Dreamed Of Being
1/ I have been saying this for years as a January 6 historian and Trump biographer and no one has been listening: one main aim of the coup plot was to create the false impression of a massive leftist attack so that Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law.
2/ One of the biggest regrets Donald Trump has from his entire presidency is not listening to the domestic extremist leaders, fringe lawyers, and radical advisers who were trying to get him to create the false appearance of a leftist domestic disturbance to justify martial law.
Given the breaking news, it must be seriously asked whether these eye injuries were the result of a chemical spray used at Trump rallies to mask the fact that he's been defecating in public. The campaign said it would get to the bottom of this and did not. people.com/what-caused-th…
Given that Trump is an elderly man in poor health, I agree this conversation must be handled with at least some tact. And of course there have been reports of him defecating in his diaper in public for years. But the fact remains that he's the one who made this a political issue.
PROOF has written about this question more extensively than almost any other media outlet, and has tried to do so with *extensive* sourcing and at least a modicum of tact.
Here (below) is the massive PROOF report on Trump relieving himself in public.
