Jeez, did Qtrump realize we'd lump his entire January 6th crowd together?

As if they were ALL guilty of storming the Capitol.

Evidently, there are no good #s on:
1) How many broke in, but did see a 250 estimate.

2) How many were in the entire crowd? "Thousands" were a guess. NBC predicted 30k would attend - unlikely that happened.

Perhaps we can make a wag - less than 10% broke in? 90+% didn't?

If you believe Qtrump and his cronies orchestrated this day, they used the dimmer followers (90+%) to provide cover for the core group of insurrectionists.

Yet we, and the news, blame the entire crowd for breaking in? Did Qtrump know we would? And, he is now using that to his advantage. Snippets of his speech the other day show that. He now has them believing that they, the 90+%, were loving followers being blamed for the insurrection.

They used the colorful MAGATS to swarm and distract while those with military and militia training sought the objective.

In the midst of the mayhem, there were trained personnel standing elsewhere, ready to deliver the second punch.

depths of his evil mind to get away with using these people twice. And don't want us to feed into it by lumping everyone together.
