They are all so arrogant. They believe they are untouchable, unbeatable. Soon they will be completely surrounded and reality will set in.
They will in some way attempt to flee, but it will be too late.

(79,293 posts)i remember reading about Custer's horror as he realized his predicament.
Natives banded together, which was not their normal practice, and joined forces just to kick the Army's ass.

Custer was outnumbered. The field of battle benefited the Sioux
As it relates to the hearings, people are seeing just how methodically evil TDFG really is and what he was willing to do to stay in power.
Perhaps it is the Republicans who need to be "woke".

(4,913 posts)Custer was arrogant and he had little respect for native Americans. He rode straight into a firestorm. That battle was over quickly.

(16,732 posts)The battle in June of 1876 was over the discovery of Gold in the Black Hills, which was considered Sioux sacred burial grounds.
South Dakota at that time was part of the Montana Territory. No way was Custer going to hold any bit of land. That is wilderness for miles on end he had no knowledge of.

I was thinking of Gettysburg that was fought over 3 days.

Looks to me like the Fascists are set to have a big win in 2022, and when they do, for all intents and purposes they will kill the January 6th investigation.
And if they manage to elect a President in 2024 which seems likely at this point, they will move to secure their power and pardon/absolve anyone associated with Jan 6th.
Wish I could paint a rosier picture, but I'm a realist.

NM is a prime example.
The DOJ is beginning to take charge but alas in the red states which has begun the great deception regarding voter fraud and will cheat steal and harass.

The infrastructure is being put into place so that rethuglicans are going to win no matter what the actual vote is. All their claims of fraudulent elections will be made real. Stop the steal.
