One question I have for MAGA, especially for all of the Jan 06 participants, is WHAT made you want to travel cross-country, with a stockpile of guns and such, at the desire of “a person”, to seek to keep “this person” in the White House? Spending thousands of dollars to amass the gun (and related items) stockpile, to then carry all of that stuff to Washington D.C. for “a rally” to protest election results, seeking to nullify them, for “a person”?
As this “person” won an election he claimed was rigged against him in 2016. Making the same claims when he did not win in 2020. Wanting “the people” to protest the certification of the 2020 election and attempt to prevent its certification. After he failed in getting several states to “find extra votes” for him. After all of his legal attempts to throw out election returns (alleging corruption) all failed in the courts. Every court verified that “he lost”, yet he sought to prove them wrong.
The only thing left was for “the people” to protest the election certification process. Coming from far and wide, weapons with them, to stop and prevent the certification process. That this happened to the extent that it did proves MANY things about MAGA . . . for ALL to see.
To me, IF MAGA had paid attention and remembered their United States Government classes, they would have know that “this person’s” campaign promises could not be fulfilled as they were not allowed by the United States Constitution HE took an oath to abide by and protect. Yet those things were believed and voted for!
As to those who spend THEIR OWN MONEY to attend “the event”? How did they justify that expense and time away from work? Adventure vacation? Then how did they further justify them getting arrested, detained, charged, and put in jail for their actions after “the rally” in support of the person they obviously voted for (who did not win the election). Who was going to reimburse them for their time and trouble? Could their “leap of faith” ensure their eventual pardon for their law-breaking? Just because they were incarcerated for overtly breaking the law, due to the “motivation” of “a person” who failed to uphold the United States Constitutional protection oath of office did not make what they did “right”. As MAGA claims to be the “Party of Law and Order”, but only obeying laws they seem to like?
Being involved in MAGA-related items does say a lot about themselves. Many of which they will not openly admit to, it seems.
It has been claimed that our United States nation is very divided, for several Presidential terms now. Even as many Presidents have sought to “unify” the country, the divisions just grow wider in distance. YET we all want many of the same things! Safe and productive jobs that pay a good wage. Low prices on gasoline, food, utilities, and housing costs. The bulk fo which are termed “basic hygiene items” by economists. We all want a good national economy that can fuel future expansion of business and jobs Which requires a certain amount of “disposable income” for discretionary spending . . . in a current situation where many are $500.00 away from bankruptcy. As others live in a “middle class” home of $400K, with $250K of rolling stock in the driveway, garage, and “toy barn”.
Used to be that depressions and recessions were called such in the news media. Now, they have been “dressed-up” as “market corrections”. Appearing less intense in the process.
Life is an education. MAGA has proved that, big time. MANY school and university-level classes could be taught using their actions as the basis of the courses. We have also become aware of many “societies” with important-soiunding names, whose orientations have undermined the basis of our current constitutional government. Even advocating for, basically “a king”, which is much different than the Constitutional Framers intended. Members of the Supreme Court, plus other judges at various levels, align with this “Society’s” orientations, too. We are watching their easing toward a “Unitary Executive”, which is not what the Framers or our United States Constitution intended. Yet this is happening, bit by bit, over time. One SC decision at a time.
So . . . why would allegedly sane business people spend their own money to participate in the Jan 06 “events”? AND further participate in the slow destruction of a nation they claim to love and desire to protect? Not yet understanding that their “patriotic” actions were doing bad things in the process of meeting a desired objective ot theirs? Not being able to see where their next two steps in walking will take them. As they blindly trudge through life, following an alleged “successful” leader who they should not have elected in the first place.
“Bad” has been normalized as “good”, unfortunately. “Solid principles” are much more than words hanging on a wall.
IF we really want America to “be great”, one would need to look at the years from 1965 forward, but with an eye that is aware of how much social and other progress the USA has made or not made since then. Then figure out WHY things have not progressed and WHO was responsible for that. “Progressed” toward a better nation for all. Where we all can work together for positive change. NOT just “changes” that one group might not feel “meets their strong religious convictions”, but “change” to make a better nation that works for all people within its borders of any skin color or ethnicity. THEN educate young people in public and private schools that “continuous improvement” for all is needed for the best version of the USA . . . rather than the divided nation we now have.
