Why did the establishment go to such lengths to incite violence at the January 6th protests? What was the establishment trying to achieve? The January 6th setup was, in fact, a masterstroke that pursued several goals simultaneously:
1) Damaging Trump’s credibility, fulfilling the “bad sport” narrative that the media had been talking about even before election day.
2) Giving Congress another opportunity to impeach Trump and bar him from holding public office.
3) Shifting attention away from the violent BLM protests of 2020.
4) Making conservatives afraid to protest and strangling a nascent conservative protest culture in its crib.
5) Allowed Biden to pretend that he is patriotic and “pro-Democracy” while winning over some mainstream Republicans of the Mitt Romney ilk.
6) Discrediting people concerned with irregularities in the 2020 election as well as people who are concerned with the issue of election fraud generally.
7) By engaging in a setup that is obvious to half the population while being virtually invisible to the other half whose priors blind them to the evidence, the FBI, CIA, and Democratic establishment are able to further inflame America’s cultural divides making us easier to rule.
This is quite a lot.
Perfectly stated
