But now, finally, those who think that Trump is good have finally found the culprit: John Sullivan. He was among the idiots on January 6th. And he is not a &#8220;Patriot&#8221;. Brown skinned even. For those who are willing to believe that the election was stolen it is also clear now that all thing bad were just his work.

Just as their pole watches (their spellings, not mine) found lots of evidence for voter fraud, they will find that Jan 6th was a BLM\/antifa project all along. You know: No real patriot (or True Scottsman) would do the things of January 6th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you just need a kernel, an grain to grow a crystal of lies around it.

The next thing in the big reframing  will be a term for that day, those events. A new name that has this ridiculous blame shift somehow in it. And that is catchy too. It will take the whole narrative and put it on its head. Flat earth is always there to make any other Internet created story look less ridiculous in comparison.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And lots of people will believe it.
