| it is pretty simple. both sides have their own propaganda (although chris hayes, just like his adversaries, would never admit it.) on the run up to the "storming of the capitol" there were two choices, what should be clear and obvious. after 4 media years of trump is orange hitler, manchurian candidate, etc... and that there are militias/radicals in the woodwork and a coup going on (bill maher, the mostly braindead he converses with, and his writers for over 4 years), of course the politicians, the police state and sprawling "intelligence" "community" had a choice during the election. and the trump people knew they had a choice just as well as the other "they" themselves. either chris hayes is a complete and total dullard himself or he is a self-conscious charlatan (pretty apparent which, even if it is because he "thinks" defending the democratic party machine is more noble than either giving up or joining the china superhawks and all the concurrent cultural baggage beyond the neocons that goes with that, putting aside where his bread is buttered for millions of dollars per year for "not" doing "propaganda"...) everyone "forced" to choose cultural opposite idiocies of the itself beyond moronic cultural orthodoxies of the so-called cultural identity based "left", because we all know that is all that separates the neocons and neoliberals, putting aside the insurgent right. it isn't a false flag, hayes, it is simply an OPTICS/publicity issue. trump operatives want his people to go to the capitol and get crushed by security and then the republican corporate machine is forced to back him, and the covid election adjudication is turned to his favor. meanwhile, mcconnel, schumer, pelosi, the mayor of dc, and the fbi all INTENTIONALLY dropped/had-no perimeter security leading to instead the opposite optics ("conspiracy by omission" or simply failure to "conspire" to secure the capitol), leading to the most zealous of the maga horde overrunning the capitol. smart politically for manipulating people but despicable from from a principled level (the bipartisan political system in a nutshell). it is really that basic and irrefutable. |
