Remember the truck convoy that went to the border? The one that went to DC? Let’s not forget the motorcycle convoy (most of us have). Or all the attempts to protest Covid, that came to nothing.  All that talk of civil war that fizzled so badly it’s hard to believe it happened only two years ago, and not in the last century.

whenever this so called civil war starts, our rallying point will be the produce section at a grocery store

These are the guys imagining they will be the vanguard of freedom. Who even carries in public like this anymore? I know it’s legal in Texas. I just don’t see anybody doing it. It was a fad. It got legalized.

And when the “peaceful protest” comes in 11 days, where do the protestors gather? In a red state? Or a blue one? At a state capitol? Or a school that was a polling place? At the meeting of the electoral college? Do they know where that is? Or what it is? Will they think J6 is on a different day this year because of Leap Year? Who gets the permit for Lafayette Park?

And nobody in law enforcement will be monitoring, because no one will expect it, just like 4 years ago. Right?

And who will organize and guide them? Steve Bannon? Kash Patel? Laura Trump?

Where will they protest? Covid taught us the futility of “grassroots” protests. They aren’t organized. They aren’t coordinated. They aren’t credible. They tried to protest an idea (public health). They tried to protest a geographic location (the border).  They tried to protest the government in D.C. They accomplished what Trump accomplished on J6: nothing. I take that back: Trump got himself indicted, and produced nearly 1000 criminal convictions. That’s what he accomplished.

Tell me again the situation is as dire as it was four years ago. Joe Biden will be President on J6. Trump won’t be able to organize a two-car funeral procession. He can follow Kari Lake’s example and insist he won.  It will do him as much good as it did her.  Except she’ll just be a loser, and he’ll be loser and a felon facing two more criminal trials.

This will be the victory of MAGA.
