It did not end up FUBAR, imho, it ended up exactly as planned. The patriots that went to DC on the 6th are awesome Patriots & will remember that day for the rest of their lives. POTUS needed them in DC & they answered the call, beautiful people!
The support and camaraderie and patriotism was glorious, for sure. Guys would post from the road, with info or questions, and we would help them out as best we could (I know you know that).
My only point is that because of bad actors and leftist manipulation, the event was used to play into a fake narrative, and I believe the majority found it disheartening to hear the president speak out against the “bad guys“ and the “violence and destruction.“
My sense on the board was that the aggregate doomer posts begin to ramp up after that effort was misunderstood. It’s not easy to be part of a righteous army that’s willing to protect the good, and have no tangible outlet or directly-connected leadership.
I love those guys, though, and I have no doubt they/we will shake it off. ???
I can understand that sentiment.
Those who attended did their patriotic duty & they were instrumental in what is unfolding now - it would not have been possible without them.
POTUS was referring to antifa/agitators, not his supporters - some good guys likely got caught up in it by following the crowd (I probably would have), though I hope they do not take offense to his comment & understand that if he had responded any other way it would have been used to ensnare him & he would also not have been able to get 20k troops to DC.
It's all about wargaming/strategy.
