By all means, tell us what the dry run was.
No, it’s not obvious at all. An unarmed protest that broke a couple of windows of the seat of power in the US for lack of any real security effort.
I ask again, what was it a dry run of?
The mass murder of the Democrats, obviously.
January 6th was simply the most visible part of a coordinated conspiracy to test the limits of our democracy. Remember that the point of the “unarmed protest” “breaking a couple of windows” was to pressure a sitting Vice President into not certifying the results of a legitimate election. Specific Republicans were in place to object to the certification, alternate slates of electors had been established, etc. This was a fully documented plan with lots of moving parts.
You know all that, right?
Uh huh. No guns involved, The building wasn’t set ablaze. The National Guard wasn’t called in. Basically a nothing burger that was easily handled but those in charge who chose to do nothing.
I remember the riots by Democrats that set massive fires to various cities over the death of George Floyd. This was none of that. A bunch of children running amok in the Capital building in an event allowed to happen by Democrats. They had no chance of pressuring the Vice President or anybody else including the janitor.
Boy I wish I could live in your reality. Mine sucks, I’ve got a family member under coordinated attack and that forces me to accept facts as true.
Must be nice to be able to pretend the facts aren’t real.
Where, pray tell, did these “massive fires” happen?
Ahem.
Because the man who provoked the riot refused to.
As President he didn’t have the power. That request is handled by an Oversight Committee.
Seriously. 1 person. That’s your response. How many people did he shoot?
$2 billion in damage across the country.
Ya, right, ya betcha and the rest of it.
One is more than zero, which is the number you claimed.
Want more? 'Cause there’s more.
And where did the “massive fires” happen?
On January 6, 2021, 140 police officers were injured, some quite seriously. One lost an eye. Over a million dollars in damage was done to the Capitol.
Multiple members of the group were armed with firearms, bear spray and assorted makeshift weapons, as well as zipcuffs.
The mob stated the clear intent to “hang Mike Pence” while the crowd outside constructed a gallows. They pursued elected officials through the halls until in one instance an officer had to shoot one of them to get them to stop.
Throughout all of this, President Trump not only refused to condemn these actions but actively encouraged it. And when it finally wound down four hours later, he praised the mob that had attacked the Capitol and police and repeated the falsehoods that had incited them in the first place.
Oh, and it was Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller who waited over four hours to approve the deployment of the National Guard after the Capitol Police had requested it.
This all, apparently, is what a “nothingburger” looks like.
Honestly, we’ve danced this dance so many times that this is likely to go the way of all the 9/11 conspiracy threads. But here’s Magiver, demanding one more song.
And who, specifically, set them?

This may have been a glaring oversight on your part, but you didn’t answer – at all – the question posed to you.
I can only speak for myself, but I’d definitely be interested in your response.
Thanks.
ETA: I recently received a box of LED light bulbs from Amazon. Not a single one of them actually worked. Would it be your contention, then, that they aren’t actually light bulbs, or could they possibly be light bulbs, but … simple defective?
I mean: the mere fact that they don’t produce light doesn’t negate their raison d’etre, does it?
Oh, just wait for 2025. The new regime hasn’t even taken control yet.

Whoa, thought I was in the Pit! Sorry!
