Good post. But also, even if the FBI was egging Trumpers on on Jan 6, would that be bad? Trump pardoned a bunch of those guys. Why should “camp Auschwitz” get a pardon for trashing our capitol and not an fbi agent? The day was a glorious day, right? If only Mike pence had had the courage to do what was right. Or something. Right?The FBI was in fact involved in January 6th. Just not in the way maga thinks they were. maga thinks the FBI was there at the Capitol encouraging rioters to cause destruction and helped orchestrate the riots etc.
The way the FBI was actually involved is that prior to January 6th the FBI had concerns and were talking to hardcore maga folks and trying to gather intelligence about any kind of possible disruption or violence that might be carried out. Just like they should have been doing. That was their involvement. Nothing scary or nefarious.
maga will be like "then why didn't they stop it all from happening?".... Well they can only go off the intelligence they were receiving. So if the maga folks they were talking to weren't providing them with info alluding to violence or criminal activity being planned then why should they try to stop peaceful protesting.
If trashing the capitol and attacking police was wrong, why did Trump pardon hundreds of those criminals?
MAGA always tries to have things both ways. Jan 6 was bad and the deep state did it but also it was great and glorious and patriotic! Joe Biden was a senile doofus but also a communist genius! Trump is a great leader but he also has no idea what’s going on and can never ever ever be held accountable for all the crappy people he hires (then fires).
