Rumor is they were planning it to be, but it got torpedoed when Trump delayed his speech and then told everyone to peacefully go home, as well as patriots not taking the bait.
They've been spending the last four months pretending their plan worked and that the "insurrection" was this big thing, but most people have already stopped caring.
They expected them to be armed. That's the biggest thing, think about every photo they've shown you of the loitering. The most "Threatening" images are of someone looking up at a window before getting murdered, some dude with a weird bear pelt, and some dummy who carried a podium around. Now, imagine if these republicans, the 2A party, loitered with rifles and handguns, open carry. How many many many many pictures there would be of ARMED insurectionests. The very fact that they don't use that word tells you all you need to know. The biggest threat any of those people posed was wheeling a walmart southerner to sit on someone's face.
There is a Marvel comic series called "Bullet Points", one of those alternate universe type deals. Galactus shows up, and the Hulk, though sheer force of rage and hate, only manages to touch Galactus' foot. That act made the World Eater to leave Earth alone.
Have you seen the news? They keep on showing the same videos of people breaking windows and trying to get into the building. They have just enough footage to make it look like it was an extremely violent conflict.
Someone publicly funded like PBS (I don't remember) did it. The lights in the windows already looked like fires, then these clouds got artificially colored.
I always said that Osama bin Laden, for all his faults, never tried to oust Liz Cheney from the #3 leadership position in the GOP House Minority Caucus. Only absolute monsters beyond what humanity has see been before would try that. I doubt even ISIS would've ousted Liz Cheney.
Let's start a War on Terror against all the people responsible for ousting Liz Cheney from her #3 House leadership spot, and all those who support it. Invade states if you have to. This cannot stand. Without Liz Cheney, there's no democracy.
I can see how the typical zoomer who doesn't remember 9/11 might think this. The typical zoomer lefty only knows about two things that happened in the past: slavery and Hitler.
When 9/11 comes around again, I wonder if they are going to start downplaying and memory holing it to some extent to make Jan 6th seem like the worst thing ever.

You don't need to wonder - the Democrats and liberal media have been trying to downplay it for a decade. The tone has been slowly shifting, it gets a little more dismissive every year.
Because it led to a 20-year trillion dollar war it's actually possible that it is both overblown and the worst even on American soil since the Civil War.
I used to think that Bush/Cheney were awful for their reaction to and exploitation of 9/11.
Now I know that Al Gore would've just done the same thing, just like Obama and Biden continued it. Lieberman's nephew would have somehow managed a company that could secure billion dollar contracts to "work" in Iraq.
They're all the fucking same. There's the Republican/Democrat political establishment that protects itself and pretends to squabble over petty differences like abortion that they insist matter more than anything else; please ignore us while we loot the entire country.
I can agree with you on becoming a police state as a result. But the sudden violent and massively public execution of thousands of american citizens in the largest city on the world is both horrific from a humanity perspective, as well as a massive blood in the water moment.
January 6 is their Reichstag fire, except that the Reichstag fire was not a non-event.
I continue to maintain that January 6th will be seen as a day of celebration as the system bares down on everyone who opposed it.
When crowd of right wingers gets machine-gunned by the newly "reformed & anti-racist police", people will start asking:
"If a bunch of retards and autists seized the capitol, why the hell can't we?"

There's an alternate timeline where Trump's speech was "You know what to do. Heads. Spikes. Walls." and they freed themselves from their crybullies.
Awwww, why can't I live in that timeline?
US policy on refugees in that timeline is a bit different. I asked, and they said "fuck off, we're full."

We touched their gods, and their gods flinched.
As I've said, the people at the capitol that day brought Canons not cannons...
That's crisp.
Have you seen the news? They keep on showing the same videos of people breaking windows and trying to get into the building. They have just enough footage to make it look like it was an extremely violent conflict.
Did you see them adding red and yellow filters to the photos of the Capitol that clouds of tear gas look like if the building was ablaze?
No, I would expect that to be beyond the pale even for them.

"Our greatest foe of the 2000's was perfectly happy with this figure in the government. What a glowing endorsement of a valuable enemy!"
It's a joke, darling.
Looks like he's off his meds again.
It was a joke, he's mocking them.
Damn, did I miss the woosh?

Watch the downplaying come hard as the 20th anniversary approacheth.

True. "Some people did something"
As it should be- 9/11 is a vastly overblown event that turned us into a terrified police state.
It was literally the worst event on American soil since the Civil War. It was literally worse than Pearl Harbor. And not by a small amount, either.
Because it led to a 20-year trillion dollar war it's actually possible that it is both overblown and the worst even on American soil since the Civil War.
Bush's Cheney-driven neocon retardation certainly exploited 9/11, but it does not detract from the magnitude of what happened.

Maybe we should get over it. Bunch of weaklings that let our government take unending power because of a couple planes.

Yes, it was horrible, but it's led to the countless amounts of deaths that never should have happened.
Everyone of the people saying this knows what 9/11 was and was even there. Their just liars.
In the super pro-Muslim modern world I imagine what zoomers think about 9/11 is very divorced from what we think about it.
Corporate journalists proving to be the enemy of the people once again.
At some point in the future, [Press] will become something you aim for, not ignore.
why do they even care? everyone that died that day was someone they hate.
are they just mad that a bunch of boomers made a mockery of their sAcReD hAlL oF gOvErNmEnT?
