Three years after the January 6 Capitol Protest, America is more polarized than anytime in my lifetime. Obama said that they were going to “fundamentally transform America” before his first election to the Presidency, and he and Biden spent 8 years working to do exactly that. And when Trump gained the Presidency, the Obama-Biden administration kneecapped him on the way in to slow his roll when it came to reversing their changes. Now we see where those changes lead. Riots in the streets burning down entire neighborhoods while the Police watch. Thousands of protestors marching in support of genocide against Jews. Hundreds of their political opposition in prison. Most Americans know this is bad. But most are too afraid of being Cancelled to say so in public.

Three large rallies were permitted on January 6, 2021, for the Ellipse where Trump spoke, and the nearby Freedom Plaza and Washington Monument, for a total of 75,000 people. Most estimates outside the true Leftist sources say the protests blew those numbers out of the water. Many people to this day say a million people showed up. EVERY estimate I’ve seen says that at least thousands ended up going over to the Capitol after Trump’s speech, where the Capitol Police had actually approved SIX different permits for demonstrations surrounding the Capitol. But the dirty little secret is that they limited each to 50 people due to Covid restrictions. So they can say that even the thousands of Peaceful Protestors were there without authorization because of Covid code…

Three years after January 6, less than 300 Protestors have been charged with a violent crime. What violence did they commit? Many charges say they pushed or struck Officers. Many are charged with using their flagpoles as weapons. Many with using bear spray, pepper spray, and similar irritants. Some with using other weapons of opportunity obtained on the Capitol grounds. I’ve even seen a few accused of using batons and similar devices. I’ve heard rumors of blades or firearms, but can’t find charges of them in the publicly available databases. These are not the charges you see after thousands of people show up to commit an “armed insurrection.” This is what you see when thousands of people come to protest something, and a small, fringe element gets violent.
