As the lamest, least armed “overthrowers” of a government ever? ;)

Yeah kinda funny how the same people who claim the Second Amendment is useless because "you stand no chance against the military" also think the government was >this< close to being overthrown by a bunch of unarmed yokels.

  >> also think the government was >this< close to being overthrown by a bunch of unarmed yokels. Trying my best to not engage in any pointless discourse in this thread, but there were plenty of highly armed people (quite literally waiting to be called in, staying in nearby hotels - just because they were dumbasses doesn’t mean they weren’t highly armed) as well as the fact they did try to call the military in & it was hindered by maleficence.

    The whole protest was infiltrated by Government agents. The shamen guy with horns was literally escorted around inside the building. (video of it on twitter). It was never a serious attempt at overthrowing a government. This was trap for Trump to walk down with the protestors, which he was almost baited into doing. Had he done it, he would probably be rotting in prison or dead. This is not to say that the protest did not turn into a riot. But that riot negated Trump's election fraud claims, some of which were never fully flushed out after. Violence delegitimized anti government protests, and so government agencies will use agent provocateurs to help things along. Trump is hated more by the former neocon wing of his party than by Democrats. They gladly played interference to spite him. So his grip on government wasn't really that strong, hence his rants about the deep state.

      >> The whole protest was infiltrated by Government agents. Oh man. One of my buddies who loved to watch Ancient Aliens and Alex Jones has been telling me this for about two decades now. Saddam Hussein apparently died of diabetes a decade before we planted a body double of him too. Wonder how much the actors posing as chucklefucks got paid to “stand back & stand by” at those hotels with their pickup truck arsenals.

        The government is literally trying to arrest a leading opposition candidate. A tactic deployed in the third world. The neocons that lied about weapons of mass destruction, faced no legal consequences. While Alex Jones is currently fined 1+ Billion dollars. 1 Million people killed in that war. Kind of hard to reconcile these facts, and not think something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

      It also seems to have been the first Trump-anything that antifa didn't show up for, which is... odd, given their stated goals.

    > quite literally waiting to be called in Why weren't they called in? If it's all to be believed, the operation was succeeding beyond anyone's wildest dreams and then...? But more to the point -- I guess January 6th proves the Second Amendment is still relevant and important?

Sedition is a crime even if your cunning plan is unlikely to succeed.
