I cannot bear to watch or hear TFG ever again. It fills me with rage. I'm in Arizona and he is endorsing several of the GQP candidates here and in featured in their political ads,,,, I dive for the remote.

Some of them, Proud Boys had a plan, were already near or headed to the Capital.

This was a wild riotous mob. The goal was to get them close and SOMEONE would make a move. They’d been prepped well. Bannon and others lead on this.

This was some serious white privilege too. Most everyone their was old enough to know that when something gets broken into, it’s not a good situation. The beating of cops with hockey sticks, the use of ladders and crutches at that one entrance was a illustration of how crazed and entitled they were…and are.

6. In 20 or 30 years this video will be part of the history curriculum about fascists in America today.

"The strangest thing about fascism in America today is that American facists are so dumb, they don't even know they're fascists. They don't even know what the word fascism means."

"They vaguely know that it had something to do with Hitler and the Nazis, but that's it. They have no idea that the first words of the Nazi anthem were "Germany above all else" which was their version of 'America first.' And the way Nazis demonized jews was no different than the way American fascists demonize liberals. Hitler promised to 'make Germany great again.' And Hitler denounced the newspapers, which exposed him for what he really was, as 'Lügenpresse,' which is German for 'fake news.'"

"If the German Nazi party still existed today, they would look exactly like the Republican party under Trump. Hitler's rallies looked no different than Trump's rallies. And Hitler would absolutely love a well-oiled propaganda outlet like Fox News.” - Oliver Markus Malloy
