The Second Insurrection is petering out...

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/paranoia-accusations-cloud-efforts-launch-justice-january-6-rally-rcna2034?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_np&fbclid=IwAR28mTC5zTtv7YnkaMQExwJwdCsIGhaoMbpOEMZIq0ahp8feA8vLmR5J4aU


Paranoia and accusations cloud efforts to launch 'Justice for January 6' rally

Users in extreme far-right Facebook groups and extremist forums are largely steering users away from an upcoming rally, claiming it could be a "false flag."




Y’all Qaeda glory isn’t what it was cracked up to be. TraitorTor can’t even get 200 people to come to a rally. Maybe it’s because they’re all in the hospital.

Probably 25% are FBI agents - but they are allies of the insurrectionists. lagomorph777 Sep 2021 #17

If the 18th is a bust, that will be a good sign that it's past its peak.

Maybe dozens of 1/6 arrests and indictments aided by expert FBI photo identifications had something to do with that attitude.

The Trumpers et al. who make all the noise about a second Civil War have seen that they don't have the power or support they thought they had. They've lived in their echo chamber so long that they've lost touch with the real world.

They've seen what will happen if they try another insurrection. They are cowards and their convictions are superficial.

"Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. " Napolean Bonaparte

Rather than courting some moderates, they're going all in with the crazies, and that group is shrinking and not enough to win them any elections.

This group is about 25% of the country at most, that's what Reps are betting on, that 25% of the country will sweep them to power again.
