About 15 minutes into his speech, Mr. Trump tells rally attendees to walk to the Capitol. “You have to show strength,” he says.
Do you really believe that a serious, hardcore Trump supporter would leave a speech from their hero before it ended- like it was the last couple innings of a blowout game?
Let alone only 15 mins into it, when he's known to usually speak for an hour or more??
Yes, I believe some Trump supporters were upset enough about what was happening to storm the Capitol. And I don't entirely understand this pivot to "oh it was agitators who started this". Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't; but they weren't all agitators.
This goes back to something I've been saying for some time: your rhetoric should be consistent with what actions you support. If you believe that the election was rigged, the Courts were compromised, your vote has now been taken from you, and "1776 will commence again", backpedaling and blaming agitators just makes you look weak.
It wasn't agitators. Trump does have a larger contingent of Bernie bros than people realize though. It was a bipartisan mob of frustrated radicals, although the vast majority were typical boomer patriots. Every theory running around is probably true in a microcosom.
Whatever it was, it was a seized opportunity to turn the Congress men and woman into the victims while they sell out our country. No more talk of 2k and all the money is still going out to other countries.
