Why didn't Trump lead his QAnon Army into Washington, D.C., on March 4th and be inaugurated as President --- several security agencies and many in the Mainstream media had spoken about it as if it were something that might really happen


Last night, Tucker Carlson explained that the left apparently lives in fear of a populist uprising of well-armed Americans driving their pickup and larger trucks through the puny police and National Guard barriers and fences in and around the nations capital  ---  and repeating the all-to-successful assault on the Capitol of January 6th


The historicists on the left really fear another historical moment, one that they know is long-overdue for repetition in capitals across the West  ---  Mussolini's October 1922 "March on Rome"  ---  which ushered in more than twenty-two years of Fascist rule over Italy


In many ways, today's so-called "QAnon Army" and/or a variety of Alt-Right militias are quite analogous to the "Squadristi" Fascist militias, which were the flying squads and shock troops of the historic March on Rome of 1922, and its contemporary penetrations across various key locales around Italy



The most important historic reality about the Fascist Revolution in Italy was that it was accomplished relatively peacefully, with power handed over to Mussolini by the prior socialist regime without large-scale bloodshed.

At present, similar paths are being explored here in the United States.  Many on the left believe that several of the Capitol Police assisted the demonstrators in their takeover of the Capitol. Multiple post-January 6th investigations are trying to root-out active Trump supporters in the U.S. military and other security agencies.  Whether any of that gets anywhere remains to be seen.

Because of the careerist bent of most senior military officers in the U.S. military and security agencies, there seems to be little worry of a "Francoist" style rebellion, much less "revolution." However, Victor Hanson Davis has pointed out that there still remain some true warriors even at the highest administrative levels of the U.S. armed services, and even among their allies in the military-industrial complex [and a rapid rise of a robust militarist sentiment, like in post-WW I Germany and Japan is not impossible].

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "IT'S THE BERRIES TIME FOR THE WAPO" EDITION

SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE INTERNET ARE REALLY GIVING THE RAZ TO THE WASHINGTON POST FOR SAYING ON THE DAY AFTER THE NON-EVENTS OF MARCH 4TH IN WASHINGTON >>> THAT IT ALL WAS A "MIRAGE"

So, let's get this straight..... The Washington Post grossly over-reports about the possibility of a repeat "insurrection" to yet again try to put Donald Trump back in the White House as President in 2021; then, when no such thing or anything like it happens, the folks at the WAPO report as if it's news that >>> the whole thing was not real, but just a mirage. For those who are keeping count, that's two phony news stories in successive news cycles about a single phony event.

So, in essence the WAPO, some others in the media and some U.S. Security agencies all lost in that well-known kids' game, "Made yuh blink".....

WHAT RACE IS THAT ? WHO'S CHUBBY ??? AND WHY SHOULD ANYBODY CARE ?????


I assume we are dealing with something that you think is relevant to the Brooklyn GOP. If so, then why be so cryptic about it ?

RESPONSE: THE "TALKING TO THE TREES" EDITION

TO THE ANONYMOUS COMMENTER WHOSE COMMENT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY

BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD NOT TO SHARE >>> THE COMMENT ENDED WITH THIS: ".... WHO ELSE CAN SAY THAT !" DON'T TRY TO GUESS WHO IT IS YET..... [NO IT'S NOT CLINT EASTWOOD, WHO SANG "I TALK TO THE TREES" IN THE MOVIE VERSION OF THE SHOW "PAINT YOUR WAGON" --- THIS IS SOMEBODY ELSE THAT TALKS TO THE TREES]

THIS POOR BENIGHTED SOUL SAYS THAT ONLY HE WILL BE MADE "DEPUTY GOVERNOR" IF JOHN CATSIMATIDIS IS ELECTED GOVERNOR --- THERE IS A LITTLE RUB IN ALL OF THAT..... WHAT MAKES THIS ALL SO SAD IS THAT SOMEBODY IS NOT ONLY MAKING UP FALSE TITLES FOR HIMSELF, THOSE TITLES ARE NOW FOR POSITIONS THAT DON'T EXIST

Let's do a little Lerner and Lowe show tune for our forlorn silenced commenter:

"I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me

The breeze hasn't time
To stop, and hear what I say
I talk to them all
In vain...."

2. secret service
3. park police
4. DC Metro police

but the problem is the National Guard?

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE " 'TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM' TEAM" EDITION

THERE ARE STILL A FEW WILD CARDS IN THE BROOKLYN GOP DECK WHEN IT COMES TO CANDIDATES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT.....

AND BOY THERE ARE SO MANY STRANGE WAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOWING THE LOVE FOR THEIR PREFERRED COUNCIL CANDIDATES


Take for example Nick Chamberas --- he wants to entice John Q into running again for the council; and he is showing the love by running a candidate against incumbent District Leader Q for the 46th AD State Committee slot..... Then there is Liam Mack, who is sort of quietly arranging petitioners for Brian Fox to flesh out his card below his main eventer Fernando Mateo; but again, Liam is showing his love in a strange way by talking up candidates, one in Sunset Park/ South Brooklyn and another in Midwood, but for now is staying sorta mum about Bay Ridge/ Dyker Heights.....
