      The Jan 6 people made the one critical mistake that a revolutionary must never make: they failed to win. Every other mistake they made was recoverable, but that one damned them.

        not sure if your comment was meant with sarcasm, but you’re 100% correct. you have to set every other concern aside and understand that you do whatever it takes to win. whatever. it. takes. if you weren’t prepared to do that, you should have never tried in the first place.

        the J6 people were idiots. they thought that there was some magical lever that, if pulled, would grant them their wishes - kinda like some moron sovereign citizen that thinks magic words will get them out of jail or consequences.

        it just doesn’t work like that. you can’t just capture the capitol and think that wins the game. it’s much deeper. the real revolutionaries will fight thousands of unseen battles in clandestine ways using different tools than torches and pitchforks.
