**'s words are damning: "If you don't fight like hell you're not gonna have a country anymore!"


Impeachment manager Madeline Dean's compelling case today made it clear that when ** told the mob 20X to “fight” January 6th, all that was left to “fight” was the election certification.

The election had passed, the state certifications were done...campaigning was over.

There is no democratic or nonviolent way to “fight” certification within hours of it happening--other than physically.

“There was only one fight left,” Dean said.

And they did.

Fighting to save their country. Where did they get that idea?

There were occasional shouts about saving the country. In one clip I saw today some were singing a patriotic song while they were crashing into stuff. Don't remember now which song it was.

Trump may tiptoe around his intentions, but pretty much does so on the line, to the point that it’s obvious to anyone who has a brain and doesn’t have a crush on Trump.
