Rick Wilson - Be the Insurrection

Team Trump has known for a while now that if they want an insurrection, they’re going to create one.

It’s why all the elements of the MAGA message machine are in overdrive, from Fox down to windowlicking scamfluencers like Benny Johnson and Nick Sorter, each breathlessly lying about the “carnage” on the streets of Portland.

They’ve been telegraphing this play for years, the fantasy of crossing that final bridge, of four-wheeling across the Rubicon, of flipping the last switch on the control-rod panel at Chernobyl, because what could possibly go wrong?

Like a third-rate magician with a tell so obvious a blind man could spot it, Donald Trump and his claque of pissant authoritarians have switched from wanna-be to gonna-be, itching to turn the United States military into their personal palace guard, their political police force, their Praetorian Guard for the Thousand Year Trumpreich.

There is a reason they are throwing women to the ground, including those that are obviously American citizens, and pulling their pants or their tops off.

T=It is clear they want to instill fear and compliance.

There are a lot of culpable entities here. Right now I am focused on the complacency, and complicity of the Repug members of Congress. Do they think these actions aren't eventually coming for their family members and eventually them?
