The Murder/Suicide of the MAGA Movement
The Mainstream Media is painting the January 6th as the day the Conservative party showed it true colors, but what did we actually see? We saw a very small group of Trump storm the halls of congress, destroy federal property and force congress to be recessed. Most tragically we saw five people die, four trump supporters, and one capitol police officer.
It is needless to say that all political violence should not be tolerated. What happened on the sixth was disgraceful for conservatives, honestly it was beneath them. We immediately saw Mainstream Media slam Donald Trump and all conservatives that supported him since he started running in 2015. They immediately called this riot an attempt at insurrection. Democrat elected officials called for the expulsion and/or resignation of members of congress that supported Trumps election challenges. Nancy Pelosi is calling for the removal of Trump from office through the 25th amendment, or through another impeachment.
This really was not a good day for conservative politics. And there is one man at forefront of this nightmare, Donald Trump. Now President Trump did not directly call for violence, but to say he did not turn up the heat with some, at the least, irresponsible rhetoric would be delusional. Now while I fully supported the Presidents legal right to challenge the election, I do not support the unconstitutional attempt to overturn votes.
Nevertheless as of right now the Mainstream Media has the high ground. They control the narrative and they can blatantly create double standards. For instance we saw over the summer riots sweep across every major city in the country. From east coast to west coast we saw riots from extremist leftist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter. During these riots we witnessed billions of dollars in property damage, thousands of people assaulted, and over 30 people murdered by violent rioters. And the same people that are chastising Trump, and conservatives; supported, justified, and in some cases directly endorsed these riots.
From top to bottom every liberal politician bent the knee to BLM. Nancy Pelosi, along with fellow Democrats, donned traditional African garb and took a knee in the halls of congress, which was the worst virtue signal I have every seen. Vice President Elect Kamala Harris, among others, raised bail money for rioters that had been arrested. California Rep. Maxine Waters encouraged her constituents to confront members of the GOP at there homes and in public, and those are just a few examples. The fact of the matter is the use and support of political violence has been a part of the progressive lefts playbook for a long time.
That was one of the major advantages that conservatives held, no matter what happened they did not stoop to violence. When violence did occur it was usually started by leftist extremist, and the conservative groups that did fight back were usually on the fringe. Then the Mainstream Media ran cover stories that justified leftist violence and blamed conservatives. This was not the case, this seemed to be the run of the mill Trump supports that were inspired to commit violence by the evil orange man himself.
Now while I do have my doubts about this narrative, the fact still remains that there was no antifa, no leftist extremist, and it was all on the Trump supporters. To make matters worse they seemed to have been supported by mainstream conservative politicians like Senator Ted Cruz, and Sentator Josh Hawley. So the way the this is being reported is that everyday Trump supporters were enticed by Trump, and other popular conservatives, to commit an overt act of violence that should be considered domestic terrorism and insurrection.
This reporting is a major double standard, but this doesn’t matter. The media holds the high ground. This was the day they have been praying for. This was the day they can use to shame every coservative, trump supporter, and republican into submission. You can bet that they are going to beat this horse long and well after it’s dead.
So what we are left with is a bleak image. The Make America Great Again movement is dead, along with President Trumps political career, and he will be painted as the one who held the gun.
