The glaring flaw in the much-planned J6 insurrection is that "Plan B" consisted entirely of

"Oh-h-h SHI-I-T!"

Everything depended on Trump remaining in power and pardoning or "legitimizing" their traitorous crimes. When that did not happen, "Plan B" kicked in.

1. No backup plan.

They were sure they'd succeed. Did they know the White House purposely decided not to fortify the Capitol police that day, and that made them overconfident - too confident to make a backup plan? Was there communication and planning between them and the White House?

They assumed they'd overpower what little Capitol police there were and they'd stop the certification. But when it was clear Pence wasn't going along with the plan, they went looking for revenge. They must have had a clue that Pence wouldn't cooperate - somebody assembled a noose and gallows ahead of time and brought it with them. That wasn't created on the spot.

There was advance knowledge of the conditions that day.

Hitler abandoned his minions and Munich, leaving them exposed to the German Army and the Munich Police.

The Russian Plan remains operational!

https://pastebin.com/raw/evbnN5y7

While legislators and DOJ investigate a failed coup attempt at the Capitol, a successful coup has overtaken the USSC, which is dismantling the Constitution in an effort concerted with right-wing domestic terrorists, the GOP, oligarchs, Christian Nationalists and others, a Mitchavillian (!) scheme that follows the Russian strategy to divide and destroy the United States:

Simply put,
Normalize hate and violence.
Stochastic terrorism.
Bring down elected government and democratic processes.

This was also seen in 30’s Germany,

We are in a state of emergency, and are today divided into slave and free states.


What part of this sounds "normal"?
