The lack of being prepared for the pro-trump rioters does need to be thoroughly examined and answered for. It appears there was sufficient intel prior to the rally that more should have been prepared.

I just showed you a poll (the same result shown by both Rasmussen and Gallup polls) that show Trump actually gained support.

Sorry you can't seem to acknowledge that.

I can agree with you that FBI and DHS were informed a month prior, and did nothing to stop the planned violence. (PLANNED A MONTH PRIOR, *NOT* "incited" by Trump. )
If there was deliberate negligence or conspiracy in letting that happen, I would point out that it follows the same pattern as the 2017 Charlottesville riots, where a Democrat mayor, and completely Democrat city council had the city police stand down, and a Democrat governor sent fully armored Virginia State Police to push the small group of white supremacists (about 200 white supremacists, out of about 2,000 non-racist pro-monument people total there, protesting only to keep the historic Robert E. Lee statue) pushing the supremacists off their separate advance-written-petitioned city-authorized protest zone, and VSP police pushed them with clubs right into the BLM mob, ORCHESTRATING violence. Because the Democrat leaders wanted violence to happen, to blame on white supremacists they could conflate with Trump and his supporters and have Democrat political leaders and the liberal media push that narrative on national news.

I would also point out that the events on January 6th int he Capitol protests likewise played politically into the hands of the Democrats. The events outside ultimately served the Democrats in two ways: 1) It shut down the electoral challenge, and intimidated several milquetoast Republicans like Sen. Kelly Loeffler to back down and not support the challenge, giving the election to Biden,
and
2) It created another opportunity to label Trump as a dangerous inciter of violence, and for Dems and the media to front the narrative that ALL his followers are racist radicals.

Given the fact that this manipulated a political win for the Democrats, and that Washington DC's political leadership, and the FBI, and the DHS are overwhelmingly led by Democrats, gee, who would be the logical conspirators in letting this happen? rolleyes

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
