A normie buddy of mine cannot wrap his head around the fact that if the police had simply kept the doors locked, there would be no Jan 6th BS.
He cannot break his focus that once inside, some people vandalized shit and for that reason alone, he thinks there was an "insurrection".
He flips out every time I suggest that if they had just kept the doors closed and locked, nothing more would have happened.
Unarmed vandalism still doesn't make an insurrection. If it does, all of those armed antifa attacks on federal and state buildings is an insurrection. But they've already said that was peaceful.
Oh, I get it. But he's absolutely stuck on his belief that the protesters somehow " broke in ". He is mentally incapable of grasping the evidence that the protesters were let in. To him, the fact that every video that he saw showed protesters vandalizing everything is enough evidence to him that they broke in. He's also mentally incapable of understanding that the news sources he consumes are feeding him exactly what they want him to see. He's never seen the videos of the cops literally guiding protesters in. Just the thought of that causes the gears in his brain to grind and he gets all pissy.
So... show him?
What about the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings when they attempted to break down the doors? How about the 5/29/2020 Washington DC riots when they broke down barricades and set a church on fire. Those were different tho right? Your buddy sounds like a moron.
He's book smart and works as an engineer for Panasonic. But when it comes to politics or social issues, he's completely fucking retarded. It's astounding how fucking stupid he is.
Intelligence can be a foolishness amplifier.
Prove it to him. For example, get some white paint or one of those white markers that Branton Tarrant used in Christchurch and a 5lb sledgehammer and tell him to look at it. Write his name in a white marker and tell him to look at it closely. Then smash his fucking skull in.
Anyone who thinks that is an insurrection needs to lay off the soy and eat some cheeseburgers.
