    It was comically incompetent but almost successful. They had a practice run, the next time will be better (for them) if we let this continue. Gotta rip the bandage off at some point.

      One thing I’ve wondered about is if the police that were part of the maga following have come to their senses AT ALL after having hundreds/thousands of people threaten them, beat them, etc when they were supposed to be “on the same side” during the January 6th nonsense.

      So much of that uprising, protest, whatever you think it should be called, would’ve normally been squashed before people ever made it to the capital building if the police would’ve responded in a similar fashion to the many much smaller protests that came before it.

      It was done so undercover and with a hamstrung/compliant law enforcement that national security didn’t see it coming, although General Milly seems to have anticipated it. Right wing terrorists are treated with gentle hands. They will be much more careful and thorough the next time. They are telegraphing it every day through Republican speak. Listen closely.
