Not sure how I didn't see this before, but here's a map from TheDonald on 12/28 talking about storming the Capitol on January 6th.

In the comments, people are talking about sabotaging the tunnels so lawmakers can't escape when they overwhelm their estimate of 3500 guards.

Is still up with very little content.

'Patriots.win' seems to have inherited the mantle, spruiking this on their front page.

Welcome to The Donald!
Welcome to the forum of choice for President Donald J. Trump!


It looks pretty nasty. As you'd expect.

The Capitol Building and House ( Democratic Majority) marked Very Important, Senate office building marked in Orange showing less importance. The Court and Jefferson Building of the LOC marked more important than the Republican Controlled Senate office buildings. Inter-connective tunnels marked.

Many of his cult members couldn't find their ass with a roadmap. Gotta have at least a few that can find their way to the Capitol so the rest can follow.

The question is did any of them originate from Trump and I'm not convinced it did.

There were a number of people who knew where the effing hell to go. Military tactical gear, head and face coverings, some looked like they had armored vests under their jackets etc etc. Military formation making their way through the crowd


The question isn't was specifically Trump, but his lieutenants.. it's pretty much the same thing.

However, whether or not this map and the related text msgs is authentic is another story.

The bullshit on 8Chan is really just the tip of the iceberg. They have all sorts of Facebook groups and local in-person groups that meet regularly to reinforce their batshit nuttery.

Certainly Trump encourages those loons, but I don't really think it's as if he is orchestrating them. Although their are some levels of organization, it's really more of a collection of non-aerodynamic turds flying in loose formation. Each of these spin off groups are more or less doing their own thing, but some of the collective lunatic fringe nuttery comes from 8Chan.

though it was named for the former guy, I don't think he was directly involved with it.

Snip

The president does not reportedly use a computer and it’s unlikely that he scans Reddit himself. Yet there has been plenty of evidence that the Trump campaign and administration staffers visit the site frequently and that Trump frequently amplifies the same lines of disinformation found on The_Donald. In June 2016, then-Trump campaign digital media director Brad Parscale said he visited the subreddit “daily.” Politico later reported that the team in the war room of Trump Tower had been monitoring the subreddit during the campaign.

for many years. You gotta wonder how many of these twits could actually read a map? Look at it turned left, right or upside down and your just as likely to end up at the nearest McDonalds

Along with the guided tours some Republican Congresspersons conducted for the rioters and you have the recipe for a disaster. A lot of inside help. A really dark day for America.

One of the biggest websites on the internet. I imagine quite a few people saw it.

Anything going on in Reddit isn't really a secret.
