These events are incredible, and I have certainly lost clout for claiming right wingers will never do anything. It's possible the police goaded them into doing this for PR, but the more video I watch, the less convinced of that I am. You can see the police actually shaken and disorganized. I think the morale boost for our side is enough to not declare this a total loss by any means, even if it was a PR stunt.

The stark contrast between the kid gloves BLM and Antifa get versus right wingers will be clear to all. BLM and Antifa have spent the last six months torching cities, occupying state and federal buildings, blocking highways and roads, and even murdering people, and all the people in power capitulate totally. Democrats support them, call it peaceful protest, defund the police, tear down monuments, and even kneel in support! Even the GOP leadership cucks to a large degree.

Now some angry whites finally do something with balls and storm the capital building without vandalism or bloodshed (that I'm aware of), and now every GOP politician and pundit turns their back and calls it an insurrection. The police straight up murder a 16 year old girl who was clearly not a deadly threat . Even Trump himself called in the National Guard on his own supporters! But somehow we can't get the National Guard to clean the streets over the last summer where people were actually getting murdered and burnt alive.

Have you seen what people have been saying? The narrative being pushed is the exact opposite.

They have to turn the propaganda machine up to 11 on this because otherwise everyone would see these guys as heroes.

Trump did NOT call in the national guard. The media is reporting Mike Pence called them in

I have heard this as well, but i think the point still stands since Trump is commander in chief of the armed forces. He is the highest ranking military officer and could have simply told them no.

I believe they illegally circumvented him knowing he has no power to retaliate. Theoretically you're right, but we live in strange times

Strange times indeed.
