The Capitol Hill Chaos: Votes Canceled and Voices Censored Equal Violent Circumstances

The founders declared, "No taxation without representation," as a clarion theme leading to revolution.  No representation meant no vote and no voice, which lead to violent circumstances.  Two systems of justice existed, one on English soil and another in the American colonies, so mobs terrified the stamp tax agents, leading to its repeal, then triggered the Boston Massacre and the Tea Party.  English elites called these criminal sedition and insurrection.  American leaders voiced calm, yet in the end joined in a war for independence.  Are there modern echoes in the present United States?

Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 proclaimed, "Give me liberty or give me death!"  I think everyone could agree that the death part of his famous statement meant the anticipation of some type of violence.  A little later, the Texans at the Alamo believed that death was preferable to living under tyrannical government, albeit Mexican.  "Remember the Alamo" then fueled a Texan war for independence.

President Trump is called a populous president.  His support is populous.  He was and is a man for the time.  Could it have been someone else with a more pristine character resume?  It doesn't seem so.  I'm open to an alternative, but I haven't seen that person in my lifetime.

The never-Trumpers of the Lincoln project, who despise Trump supporters and would relish violence against them, say that his voters were so stupid that they thought he'd be a good leader because they watched him on The Apprentice television show.  I've never seen more useful idiots than the Lincoln ones.

Many factors led to Trump, but the quintessential motivation was an oppressive political correctness that incessantly violates rights of Americans.  This is even seen in the reaction to the events of January 6 in the capitol.  Political speech is not sedition and insurrection.  Using the term, "fight," as a euphemism is not a call to violence, just like saying "political target" doesn't mean you're going to shoot someone.

Political correctness is a kind of correctness in China, where the government says, this is correct, you disagree, saying, it's not, and then you disappear for the rest of your life.  Political correctness is a pressure to take a position at a cost for not taking it.  If you know what's good for your health, your professional career, and your mere future, this is the view you'll need to take.  Carolyn Glick writes in Israel Hayom that Democrats wish a new era of total political correctness.

President Trump says what many people are thinking in the United States.  When I say many, I mean about fifty million or more.  He has not "incited violence."  When Trump supporters came to Washington, DC on January 6, 2021, no elected official encouraged them to come to force their way into the capitol building and physically stop the electoral counting procedure in Congress, a violation of the law (read this account and this take).  In President Trump's speech, he didn't suggest that.  The people saying that know they are lying.  They are liars.

Democrats riot, protest, terrorize, picket, intimidate, and break the law without ceasing.   They not only get no condemnation but instead receive actual support from a vast majority of the media, celebrities, and educators.  They use government power to prosecute their political enemies and to crush their businesses and take away their property.  Even if they do not win in court, they waste the time and ruin the personal finances of their victims.  They tear apart our society.  They are never censored.  As an example, they use their power to allow men to use the girl's bathrooms.  Opposition is litigated.  They are given the widest possible bandwidth to spew the greatest possible amount of vile and deceitful discourse.

Those of the capitol mob were finished with conventional Republican or conservative way of change.  They decided to imitate their political opposition and give them a taste of their own medicine.  It was so odd and out of character that theories arose among conservatives that it must be someone else, that Antifa or BLM infiltrated the group, posing as them for purposes of discrediting.  Can you imagine someone asking, "Can you believe the Democrat party instigated violence and supported burning, pillaging, and looting of public property through their various collaborators, Antifa and BLM?"  Laughter ensues.  A serial murdering abortion doctor slaughters babies born alive and Democrat lawyers line up to defend him.

President Trump gave a political speech on January 6 (read the transcript here), protected by the first amendment without any mention of violence.  None.  It's true he doesn't attempt to calm down his listeners, tranquilize them.  He wants to fire them up, to inspire them.  That's what political speakers do, except for Joe Biden and a few others, but not because they don't wish they could energize someone.  No Republican has encouraged violence in any way.  Everyone knows that.  The people hearing Trump know that.

The crowd that rushed the capitol was enough of a surprise that the capitol police wasn't ready for it.  It is clear that a smaller faction of the gigantic crowd came to Washington DC prepared to do more than attend a rally.   As a template, they had Seattle, Portland, Kenosha, earlier in Washington DC, and urban areas all over the country as an immense sample size compared to their own efforts.  Those leftist mobsters took over several city blocks in Seattle and occupied them, fully armed, for weeks and those like them all over the country have incessantly toppled statues and threatened ordinary American citizens during meals and peaceful walks in public places.

What occurred at the capitol is called by the media and Democrats, an insurrection.  It was an insurrection like the LA police following OJ Simpson was a "car chase."  No one shot anyone except the police an unarmed Trump supporter, military veteran, and you know the story, she was threatening no one.

I wouldn't join them, but I get the anger inspiring the capitol hill chaos.  I understand frustration of the participants.  I'm quite sure that my belief in the future kingdom of Jesus Christ anesthetizes a desire for physical retribution.  A true believer opts for a peaceful solution now, starting with the gospel.  The party of senseless violence though is the left.  They kill millions and urge to kill millions more babies.  They are silent while thousands are murdered in America's cities.  They oppose all freedom of speech except for their own demented and reprobate positions.

One can judge true thoughts and standards by the consistency of the condemnation.  Unless all violence is condemned, the standard of violence still stands.  The left embraces violence.  It wants to disarm its opposition.  It uses the accusation of not-a-coup to cover its own actual coup.  The so-called antifascists are the actual fascists.  Who is attempting to take away rights and freedoms?  The left, represented by the Democrat party, finances and supports its own violence.  It condemns all violence against it.  It punches you in the face, puts its glasses on, and says, "You wouldn't hit a man wearing glasses, would you?"

The mob on capitol hill saw their votes as cancelled.  I agree with them.  The invention of Democrat ballot harvesting tipped the swing states.  They see election laws violated without recourse and even the Supreme Court cowed from dutiful examination.  There is no Republican voice allowed in the public school and state college system, the mainstream media, and the tech titans censor it on their government protected platforms.  The loss of vote and voice equal violent circumstances.  The people taking away freedom through their various means of state and corporate power fueled the capitol mob on January 6, not the president.
