Anyone else tired of news about the bullshit over-blown virus scandal and PHOTO-OP of the capitol? What a crock of shit How about the obvious election fraud? They don’t seem to be talking about that.

I tried to get people to rally for peaceful protests after the capitol incident, in order to put the lie to the unfolding narrative against us.

No one listened. They were too busy listening to faggots in the u.s. government working on sites like poal, voat, 4chan, etc, all saying "dont go its a setup! its an ambush by the police!"

We could have put their narrative in the ground before it took off. But nope.
