Make Believe

 


We have been conditioned from our childhood to embrace make-believe worlds … Dumbo, Snow White, Santa Claus … so it is not surprising that many Americans fell for the Jan6 Committee’s narrative of the Capitol insurrection.


However, what is disconcerting is … once the actual footage of what happened there has been released … and everyone can see that the preponderance of what happened that day was benign … that there are still those insisting that it really was a pumpkin carriage that took Cinderella to the ball.


Yes, Tucker Carlson’s commentary is slanted and the video clips shown only part of the story. But, Pilgrim, if you are even half-awake, you must realize that you have been sold a bill of goods.


Yes, I’m sure that there were hooligans among the crowds that day … and some of them were probably agent provocateurs. But I am also sure that … in order to finally crush President Trump … much of the Jan6 narrative was, yes,  fiction, make-believe … Dumbo flipping stuff.


And, if you still join with Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney to condemn the other side of the story … then please don’t profess that you believe in the American way.



STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Hundreds of Capital police officers injured does not seem to support your characterization of a mostly "benign" event. It is you and the other fake patriots who are deceived, and willfully blind to the truth. Tucker Carlson is a fraud feeding lies to a gullible MAGA herd of sheep. Shame on all of you!

When reprehensible acts happen in my (yes, MY) Capitol that have the members in session scurrying for safety, I refusers to consider whatabouts. To call the acts of parading a Confederate flag, breaking windows, pushing through police barriers, hauling off papers and computers and even the speaker’s podium —. benign tourism is criminal.

DEN, Your facts are squishy … Not “hundreds injured” … 114 “injured” … none killed despite oft-repeated claim of 5 police dead. Ashli Babbitt was just murdered by Capitol policeman.
180 injured in White House ANTIFA riots. Was that an instruction or just a peaceful protest? And was there a House committee investigation and endless TV loops for that one?

ANON, As they should have been, these crimes at the Capitol have been fully punished … although I’m not sure carrying a confederate flag is a crime … and I suspect the FBI operatives were given get out of jail free cards.

The real issue here is one of balanced and accurate reporting and equal justice.

(And a gullible public.)

Carrying a confederate flag in the Capitol might not be a crime but it represents everything the confederacy hoped for.

Free speech?

Swatiskas and Nazi stuff are very illegal in Germany. Here too. As to the Confederacy, MJT is taking a run at the South rising again. Seems easy to imagine what the separatist would use as a flag.

I don’t think Germany has a First Amendment.?

You lefty birds keep forgetting that the Confederacy, Jim Crow, KKK, etc. were all constructs of the Democrat party.
