I agree. It was not a January 6th exclusive.
Yep and thatâs why they had to put the hearings on prime time

âReportsâ come in every election. The actual flag bearing was all his.
They didnât say it was. In fact quite the contrary.
He is the cause of Jan 6.
Yeah. Because it is a very inconvenient reality to understand
No. The flags had been waving since sometime early in the Obama administration.

We are in agreement.
Nope. January 6th was the culmination of years of discontent.
And it ainât over.

That is one way to write off that it was because Trump lied about the election?
Why were they all there on that day? What was so special about Jan 6?
Here is a hint⌠it is connected to Roger Stone on Nov 5 saying that the States can appoint their own electors and throw out the votes.
I agree.
That is when the shared reality started to really break down as the Birchers started to win the GOP.

The brooks brothers riot was a thing. Hanging chads was a thing
The Kennedy Nixon face off in 60 was a thing.
The flags have been there forever. He took the flag and ran with it
Obama set them off though.
Samm he was saying if he lost it meant the election would have been stolen all throughout the campaign.
It was actually his MO from the moment he started running in 2016.
âBased on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullifiedâ
2016 Colorado caucuses: âThey (Colorado GOP voters) are going absolutely crazy because they werenât given a vote, this was given by politicians. Itâs a crooked deal. ⌠Itâs a rigged system.â
2016 popular vote: âI won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegallyâ
Aug 2020: âThe only way weâre going to lose this election is if the election is riggedâ
Sep 2020, when asked if heâd peacefully transfer power if he lost: âWeâre going to have to see what happensâ and âget rid of the (mail-in) ballots and there will be a very peaceful continuationâ of power.
Also in Sep 2020 âThe (mail-in) ballots are out of control. You know it. And you know who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know it better than anybody elseâ.
And that they âwere a big scamâ.
And "We want to make sure the election is honest, and Iâm not sure that it can be. I donât know that it can be with this whole situation â unsolicited ballots. Theyâre unsolicited; millions being sent to everybody. And weâll see.â
And suggesting the election be postponed because of the mail-ins that would make this the âmost INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in historyâ.
And some more of his claims prior to the election: The President's Trumped-Up Claims of Voter Fraud - FactCheck.org
All these claims were made BEFORE Election Day.
You know thisâŚyou know the cries of fraud on Election Night were not âspontaneousâ and âindependently thought ofâ.
MAGAs were conditioned and encouraged to believe this is what was happeningâŚby Trump.
And the claims that emerged from Election Night onward were brought forth by Trump and his team, and by rabid Trump supporters who just echoed their leader.
You know all this, but I fully expect you to double down.

He STOKED their ressentiment.
Thatâs why they heeded his call.
The personal devotion MAGAs have to their man is probably a thousand times more than the most rabid Obama supporters had to their guy.
That kind of personal loyalty only comes when a person validates the loyalistsâ ressentiment.
lol. no.
