“That would be like saying there would be no American Revolution after the British won the first skirmishes”
For the record, the idiots who went into the Capitol were dupes and suckers, those who weren’t provocateurs. 799,000 Trump supporters did not take the bait. Approximately 1,000 did, and they were not “revolutionaries” or “minutemen,” they were sad victims of the Dems’ conspiracy, still ongoing and so far successful, and of which Mr. Joe here is, imho, an active part. No relation to the initial skirmishes at Lexington and Concord, Paul Revere, or his damned horse. In a crowd that big, you are bound to find a few rubes. They suffered the consequences of their action, and the Demagogue in Chief has milked their folly for all it was worth and them some, concocting a far-fetched conspiracy theory and unsuccessfully trying to make it stick. No more. Don’t take the bait.
Peaceable means are Plans A, B, C and D. Fight smart. Violence is somewhere around Plan M, N, O or P, if not Z.
Asimov said that “violence is the first resort of the incompetent.” Case in point.
I concur.
