Trump is in full command of weak people like me.
The attackers thought they were restoring liberty ? for them ? not subverting democracy
Internal assaults on American government usually come with the
promise of greater freedom. ⤽The tree of liberty must be refreshed
from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,⤝ Thomas
Jefferson wrote. He was referring to Shays?s Rebellion, an uprising
of 4,000 Massachusetts citizens in protest of taxes imposed by the
state?s governor to liquidate Revolutionary War debt. Seventy-five
years later, the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis,
explaining another rebellion, said the South had no choice but to
⤽take up arms to vindicate the political rights, the freedom,
equality, and State sovereignty which were the heritage purchased by
the blood of our revolutionary sires.⤝
To its participants and their emboldened intellectual allies, the
Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was another such ⤽battle cry of freedom⤝ ? a patriotic exercise against tyranny. President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might deplore this as an ⤽assault on our democracy,⤝ but ⤽what they mean by ?our democracy? is their oligarchy,⤝ the author and journalist Roger Kimball said in a
September speech at Hillsdale College. The protest against them may
have become unruly, but it was by no means an insurrection.
He may be right, though for reasons different from the one he gave.
Militant protest, as Garry Wills wrote in ⤽A Necessary Evil,⤝ his
history of ⤽American distrust of government,⤝ comes in different
forms. At one end of the spectrum are insurrectionists, who ⤽take
arms against the government because it is too repressive.⤝ At the
opposite end are vigilantes, who ⤽take arms to do the government?s
work because the authorities are not repressive enough.⤝ They become ⤽vigilant,⤝ Wills writes, in times when they believe ⤽the government
is too slow, indifferent, or lax.⤝
Vigilantism seems to be the defining strain of American conservatism
today, embraced by both the mob and intellectuals. Kimball is one of
many who, emancipated by former president Donald Trump, feel
licensed to lead their own campaigns against the country as it
becomes more egalitarian and inclusive.
This was the vigilante?s cry that the government has been hijacked
to thwart the will of Trump and his supporters. Though they?re in
the minority, there are many millions, nevertheless, for whom the government?s failure to do enough to look after their interests has
made it the enemy.
For them, the battle cry of freedom has become, as it was for
Jefferson Davis, a demand for repression. And only vigilantism,
storming the citadel, will do the job.

Why Jan. 6 insurrections sent a letter to the Folger Shakespeare Library
While insurrectionists were plotting to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, they took time to write and send a letter to an institution two
blocks from their target: the Folger Shakespeare Library, the world?s
largest collection of material related to the English playwright.
?We will be blocking access to your building ? to prevent our persons of grievance from using you as a loophole,? read the insurrectionists?
letter, which circulated on a pro-Trump message board called TheDonald
before the insurrection and was published this month in the Folger?s
online archive.
The letter explained that the insurrectionists would create a 2.4-mile blockade ?surrounding all buildings to which the U.S. Capitol has
underground tunnels to? ? including the John Adams Building of the
Library of Congress, with which the Folger shares a block ? presumably to prevent those inside the Capitol from escaping through the buildings.
?This is nothing personal to the library itself,? the letter continued.
?We have no intention of damaging, trespassing, or otherwise altering
your facility in any way...We sincerely apologize in advance to any inconvenience this may cause you ? we are simply citizens practicing our
1st amendment rights and are only involving you by happenstance.?

At the very least this letter PROVES that 6Jan was not "spontaneous".
Well planned in fact.
