The Justifications for January 6th

They say it was because of the attacks upon our cities and the burning of private property that led them to our nation's Capitol. The cite the victory of Donald Trump in the last election as evidence that they were justified in their actions.

But, they would not have come to our Capitol if they had not received an invite from Donald Trump to be there on January 6th. He told them it would be "wild". Otherwise, they would not have been there.

Also, the election of Donald Trump had much more to do with the $250 million dollars spent by Elan Musk and his negative ads about trans-sexuals, immigration, etc., than anything to do with the righteousness of January 6th.

The truth of the matter is that there is no justification for what happened on January 6th, 2021. It was an act of violence and insurrection. The election was not stolen. It was not the FBI or the Black Lives Matter that attacked the symbol of our democracy. It was a mob of anti-Americans following the orders of a cult leader that refused to give up power.

Any other excuse or justification is nothing more than a continuation of the big lie. It is a waste of America's time to continue the charade.
