Pretty astonishing when the whole thing was basically live streamed. I member watching it as it happened

Watching terrorist Ashli Babbitt get shot from multiple angles, then seeing comments from Trumpers like:

  1. She's a hero
  2. She's a false flag
  3. She's not actually dead
  4. She didn't do anything wrong

And this is barely two years. Going to bet a decade from now, the misinformation will be worse.

Fun to consider, if these were BLM protestors doing the exact same thing, they would be cheering the loudest.

I bet what would be even louder would be their criticism of Capitol Police for not doing their job. It was such an important proceeding in the very Capitol of God’s chosen country, so they had more than enough justification to gun down all the darkies.

A recent Behind the Bastards on Alex Jones (part 1) has recordings of Info Wars from January 6 - before Jones had had a chance to call in and tell them to shut the fuck up before they got noticed as being complicit

It's funny (and scary) hearing them being like, "It's all happening! The second American Revolution is underway! The Patriots have control of the Capitol!"

Jones quickly learned that he needs his listeners to be "panic-adjacent" rather than actually in panic mode. Panicking people don't buy brain pills.
