Every dissident, and every normal person who had some sense that something odd was going on, was made to feel like some sort of crazy cretin who held nutty and probably dangerous views that were completely out of touch with the mainstream.

People like me had come to believe that average people were simply cowards or stupid not to object. Now we know that this might not have been true at all! The people who objected were simply silenced!

Consider how many other elections were affected. It’s astonishing to think of the implications of this. It means that quite possibly an entire generation of elected leaders in this country was not legitimately elected, if by legitimate we mean a well-informed public that is given a choice concerning the issues that affect their lives.

When you think about it this way, this is not just some minor error in judgment. This was an earth-shattering decision that goes way beyond managerial cowardice. It goes beyond even election manipulation. It is an outright coup that overthrew an entire generation of leaders who stood up for freedom and replaced them with a generation of leaders who acquiesced to power exactly at the time it mattered the most.

A week ago, I was suspended for 12 hours on Twitter/X for responding jokingly to a satirical tweet about some leftist shenanigans with "Somebody get a rope." It was so blatantly a joke response, to such a blatantly satirical tweet, that it HAD to be some lefty cretin (but I repeat myself) taking offense at it and reporting the post. I mean, you’d have to be retarded to not understand that it was a joke. This was on X, which has loosened speech restrictions, and for the better. I can only assume that some hidden lefty troll who survived the employee purge when Elon took over did the suspension.

Your probably already on a FBI extremism list.

I will be very insulted if I find out I am not on at least a couple of their extremism lists.

A ‘lethal threat’: why the far right sees more scrutiny than the left
https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoin ... -the-left/

Now, government agencies and scholars across the political spectrum agree that far-right movements have caused most of the political violence in the U.S. over the past few years – and present the most dangerous threat today. Data shows that the involvement of veterans and service members in some of these groups is helping to further the violence.

You'll have to make up your own minds about it, but as I read it I kept thinking, "Didn't chunks of our cities burn in 2020? Weren't businesses and vehicles looted and destroyed? Didn't we have armed Antifa and BLM patrolling riots and 'sovereign secessions' and shutting down streets and directly threatening physical violence against any who didn't wear their T-shirts or shout their chants?" But I guess I'm completely misremembering the scope of what happened that summer and beyond. I don't consider myself to be on the far right, so maybe I just never see or have ever come into contact with these evidently vast and pervasive conspiratorial far-right groups. Dunno.

And while I definitely disagree with what took place January 6, the DOJ has made over 1,106 arrests for crimes committed at the Capitol that day; had 632 people plead guilty; 597 federal defendants have had their cases adjudicated and received sentences; and, of those, 366 have been sentenced to time behind bars (source: United States Attorney's Office, District of Columbia). Do all of those cases go into the think-tanks' count of violent far-right extremism? You know, like Gary Wickersham who, at 81, is the oldest known person to be convicted and sentenced for January 6? While not a single arrest was made in scores of the rioting, burning, and looting that was perpetrated by Antifa and BLM in the name of convicted violent felon George Floyd?

Exactly!! Our entire country can burn and the contemptible so called "leadership" (politicians, media, military, relevant government agencies, scholars) don't even pretend to notice. Clownworld.

To me this suggests guilt of these same groups as being directly involved in the riots, arson, and looting. We know at a minimum it was a stand down. The destruction didn't have to happen.
