TPOT chapter 8.
Desmet is evidently not immune to regime media propaganda narrative.
He attributes the capitol protest to “QAnon”, whatever the heck that is.
I’m sure most of us can give hundreds of reasons why people (including CI’s) were there and why they were so angry, or made angry, none of which have anything to do with ”QAnon“.
Really disappointed, if anything for the lack of self awareness by the author.
Jan 6 has been described by the Democrats as a terrorist plot to end democracy sponsored by president Trump, QAnon--all and any of the political opponents of the current administration. Since Trump no longer exists as a "weapon of mass destruction" to raise the indignation of Democrat supporters, we now have the "failed coup" as a sign of how undemocratic things will become if people start giving up their support for Biden. Meanwhile, as Mark Crispin Miller points out, many people arrested after Jan 6 are still held without bail without trial--even without medical treatment in solitary confinement. Surely this is not the way we are supposed to treat criminals who should be presumed innocent prior to their trial.
