Please Shut The Hell Up About January 6


*

Is it unusual for a mob to breach the Capitol Building — ransacking offices, taking goofy selfies, and disrupting the proceedings of Congress for a few hours? Yes, that's unusual. But the idea that this was a real attempt at a "coup" — meaning an attempt to seize by force the reins of the most powerful state in world history — is so preposterous that you really have to be a special kind of deluded in order to believe it. Or if not deluded, you have to believe that using such terminology serves some other political purpose. Such as, perhaps, imposing even more stringent censorship on social media, where the "coup" is reported to have been organized.

He's already been effectively banned from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter — a rubicon-crossing event in the suppression of political speech ... At no point yesterday was the American government at risk of being "overthrown," as members of Congress have laughably suggested... Instead we're told by the incoming Senate Majority Leader, for example, that January 6, 2021 will now "live in infamy" right alongside December 7, 1941. Elected officials issued emotional notices ... like they had just narrowly avoided being crushed in an earthquake, or escaped the World Trade Center on 9/11. This is made all the more odd because the only person upon whom lethal force was committed appears to have been a Trump-supporting woman who was shot point-blank in the throat by a Capitol police officer.

Journalists and pundits, glorying in their natural state — which is to peddle as much free-flowing hysteria as possible — eagerly invoke all the same rhetoric that they'd abhor in other circumstances on civil libertarian grounds. "Domestic terrorism," "insurrection," and other such terms now being promoted by the corporate media will nicely advance the upcoming project of "making sure something like this never happens again." ... Trump didn't command that his followers physically breach the Capitol Building. In fact, after previously saying he would join the march, he seems to just have gone home to tweet and watch TV. So, basically his normal routine on a typical day, minus a trip to the golf course.

Politics is forgiving

Trump has never had the concentration, organizational acumen, or ideological coherence to mount a bonafide "coup," ... Shortly after the breach, he released a video instructing his followers not to take Senators hostage or imprison Mike Pence, but to "go home." The whole episode never stood the remotest chance of preventing the certification of Joe Biden, much less overthrowing the government.

The Insurrection Televised Live in advance

It was just another goofball charade, and in that sense a fitting end to the Trump presidency. Still, there are many people in positions of power who would like you to believe that a real-life "insurrection" is genuinely underway, and to develop a kind of exaggerated mythical understanding of what occurred at the Capitol. Because it will enable them to seize additional powers — not through a "coup," but through the vast inflation of an alleged threat...
