A couple hundred largely unarmed and unorganized people breached and occupied one of the most secure and well-defended buildings on Earth in the space of an hour. And in doing so they sent the entire US congress running for the hills.

Imagine what a few thousand armed and pissed off people could do, because I guarantee that the folks in Washington are imagining that right now.

You mean that a couple hundred largely unarmed and unorganized people were let into the Capitol under suspicious ease, including some LARPing Chief Sitting Jackass-looking motherfucker.

This was a total Reichstag Fire moment; expect it to fuel draconian crackdowns to the thunderous applause of the vapid masses, who will bitch about how those crackdowns are affecting them further down the line.

Fuck, I didn't think about this being like the Reichstag Fire. That changes perspective quite a bit looking at this like that.

A bunch of Antifa were bussed in and allowed into the capitol with ease. They allowed you guys to vent your frustrations a little because they know you'll just go home again afterwards, but now they can push for more crackdowns against the ebil Nazis.And now they've smeared Trump as some kind of warlord and anyone who follows him is dangerous. They're making an example of you and you don't even realize.

This whole antifa infiltrator narrative is pure conspiracy theory.

As for consequences - Congress was already going to punish people for the crime of supporting Trump anyway. If a couple hundred people can claim the capitol then a hundred thousand can make DC fall.

Ah so things are conspiracy theory when it turns out you guys got played. Antifa has been at every other march, why wouldn't they be at this one? Being allowed into the capitol and shown around isn't 'claiming' shit. If they were actually storming the capitol, bullets would be flying.

Well if we must go through this:

Police opened gates and offered them in ? pic.twitter.com/cFJmIekwzR

This video is from the Trump rally across town several hours earlier. People wanting access to the rally being let through.

The officer is leading them where to go and gives the guy a little nudge and says “they’re here” when at the 2nd floor and officers just walk up and say “leave”.

All I see is a cop trying to back away from them and being followed. If you're reading more than that into some minute gesture at the right place then that's on you.

That video is hardly conclusive. Particularly because the allegation that counter protestors would turn up at a widely publicised rally doesn't mean they were also instructed to infiltrate the Capitol.

If he wanted to pass as a “Trump supporter”, he probably should have covered up the hammer and sickle that are tattooed on the back of his hand…

That's not a hammer and sickle. That's from the video game Dishonored.

Helps if you actually see the full, uncropped picture.

So yeah, until you can produce some actual evidence other than misrepresentations it is a conspiracy theory.

Yep, I'm so over hearing this antifa BS. Its rampant on the main sub here. For weeks they've all been posting about the protest on the 6th and dragging the democrats and rinos out and carrying out public hangings.

Then they switch on a dime to this new BS narrative that it was Antifa.
