I agree with your take 100!!
Frankly, I am amazed that lots of prognosticators on both sides of the aisle are talking about his announcement about
running for the POTUS like it exists in a vacuum as if his legal problems are irrelevant and have no bearing as to his
ability to run even if he wants to!!
There were over 1 million people at that protest...maybe more. Yes, angry..VERY angry.
But, if they had wanted to overthrow the govt, they could have done so...easily.
But remember what Steve Bannon said about the "Green Bay Sweep"...
The Trump plan that day was to have members of the House and Senate raise challenges to the counts of Electoral College votes from six pivotal battleground states. Two hours of debate per state in each chamber of Congress, which would have added up to as much as 24 hours of nationally televised hearings, thereby short-circuiting the censorship of the media broadcasting the truth to the American people.
The goal was not to get the election overturned on Jan. 6. Instead, they aimed to produce so much evidence that Pence would be forced to exercise his authority as president of the Senate to "put the certification of the election on ice for at least another several weeks” while Congress and the state legislatures pursued the “fraud” allegations, which probably would have been enough to overturn the results....eventually.
The Plan wasn't to "storm the Capitol" break windows and interrupt those proceedings resulting in their cancellation altogether. What Trump supporter in their right mind would want that?
We know why that happened, why it happened, and it's not because of anything Trump and his supporters did.
Ultimately, those hearings were cancelled, a fraudulent election was rubber-stamped without any objections, and the "INSHURECKTON" narrative has dragged on ever since, including the persecution of protestors that day.
Jan 6th was a Deep State Operation and diversion from what really happened on Nov 3rd, 2020.
You wanted the truth? That's the truth.
