So I listened to Trump's speech.
The main mistake he made was perhaps not knowing the reports of planned violence or the "Stand-down" order of the Capitol police. Given that information, he should have cancelled the march to the Capitol, maybe sending them over to some other place. Dunno if he even could. You need a permit to do the damn demonstration.
I don't think anyone gave him the reports of the FBI or other law enforcement who had already detected planned violence.
So, anyway, I have no way to document who is antifa. Maybe
@Gameface. He did a few posts trying to tell me they are anti-fascist. Maybe @OneBrow, who tried to tell me they aren't communist of whatever. Maybe the whole crew of folks in the big DumpTrump rants above. I don't know.
I imagine there are some strange people showing up at Trump rallies pretending to be Trumpers, in full regalia, with friends with camera to document their antics, for one reason or another.
Political agitation, staged riots, like the Reichstag Fire, are often run out manipulating a lot of people who don't know the game.
Just looking at a few of the video clips, I think there were instigators inciting the stupids.
So here's my advice, if you care to be reasonable people. Don't push the issues like agitators if you aren't actually agitators.
I regularly advocate my friends don't join any outtaline organization or extremist advocacy group. Especially right-wing nutjob outfits. They are mostly FBI stings. Not as many left-wing stings imo. I don't approve of any kind of violence whoever does it, or any kind of bully tactics like the mob in here runs regularly against anyone who isn't sufficiently woke or whatever.
If you are a committed ideologue or activist of any kind, count me out.
