Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.
I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.
Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: "insurrection." None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.
A mostly peaceful protest.
Violent gun nuts brought no guns to over throw the government. That's enough for me to know the narrative is not reality.
But there’s got to be a reason why Trump wanted to get rid of metal detectors at only this event and never one before it, right?
Right?
Plausible deniability.
Guns would make the whole thing not work. If they started shooting the whole thing would be over. That would stop the plan. It would force the Congress people to go against trump. They would have no choice.
