Alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec vowed to finish what rioters began on Jan. 6 by working to "overthrow" democracy "completely."

“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

All Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea of having a (Christo-)fascist dictatorship in power in the U.S. . All that they care about is that the dictatorship rewards them with money and power. I know Republicans like this, people you might think were just ordinary folks, and they’re masters of telling themselves stories to justify their violence and thievery and masters at not seeing anything that might cause cognitive dissonance, to the extent that they’re capable of that at all.

    So let’s recap the narrative:

    1. Joe Biden stole the election, so we had to storm the capital! 1776 part 2!
    2. It wasn’t Trump supporters that did that, it was antifaaaaaa
    3. Trump went too far we’re done with him
    4. After consulting the polling numbers, I now think Trump did nothing wrong
    5. The crowd was infiltrated by the FBI, the deep state did this
    6. While Trump was the greatest President ever, maybe he’s just too divisive so maybe we should have someone else
    7. I’ve always supported Trump (please don’t primary me!)
    8. Trump Forever!
    9. Pardons for everyone that was involved in Jan 6, because it was the FBI that made them do it!
    10. Jan. 6 was good and correct and we’ll do it again, but this time we’ll get it right! Because it’s what Jesus wants us to do!

      Yes. They think they should succeed because they’re better than you. Their words don’t mean anything specific, it’s like a general grunting meaning “me group good, you group bad”.

      There are no conservative “policies” anymore. They just want to win, and barely care how. Specific things they say are just justifications for their actions.

      Notice the abortion debate. They didn’t really want to overturn Roe V. Wade, they just wanted to “win”. That’s why the pro-life people aren’t unified or energized since then. They all have random unexamined “beliefs” that don’t match. Literally every state is different and all of their policies cause a ton of backlash

      Conservatives like Trump because they think they can win with him, and their other candidates are losers. That’s what they care about: winning. Vote and they won’t.
