And, boy, they are already trying hard. For example, just look at what LM posts. She is following the ludicrous party line that January 6th was some kind of peaceable assembly. WHAT! The video evidence is conclusive. How gullible do you have to be to swallow the lies?
Or the ridiculous and easily debunked conspiracy theory that it was a bunch of deep state actors. SO STUPID!
With Trump moving closer to renomination, rewriting Jan. 6 attack gains urgencyThere is no mystery about the Capitol riot. There is nothing intangible, no unseen engine for what occurred. There is no uncertainty about what happened and why.
But because everything about what unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021, implicates the cultural leader of the Republican Party — and because pretending that a mystery exists benefits him — we approach the third anniversary of that day with renewed efforts to rewrite its history.
A few hours after a heated Oval Office argument in which his team tried to figure out how to retain power, he shared a post on social media calling for supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6. The day’s protest, he promised, would “be wild.” This message itself comes up repeatedly when looking at the triggers for participants to be at the Capitol on that day.

There was violence and there were violent actors; they were there because Trump refused to accept that voters had rejected him.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/27...

And the two common and extremely stupid and easily debunked conspiracies...
Two alternative culprits are generally proposed: federal agents or left-wing actors.
The latter idea was voiced immediately after the riot and was quickly debunked. But it lingers: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who’s selling a book, told Donald Trump Jr. on a recent podcast that “nobody could tell me that those were Trump supporters” and that she believes “they were antifa — [Black Lives Matter] rioters.”
There’s no evidence of this at all. In fact, it defies any logic. For Greene, though, this is a long-held argument. During the riot itself, she texted White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to tell him that she and others “think they are Antifa … [d]ressed like Trump supporters.” Of course, that was about 90 minutes after she’d texted Meadows to exhort him to “[p]lease tell the President to calm people[.] This isn’t the way to solve anything.”

Highly informative. And highly disturbing.
Fodder for the gullible cultists.

Eventually you need to curtail your Bill of Rights and lose some civil liberties to prevent that kind of stuff from happening.
Because in a dysfunctional tribal society where structural poverty is trending mainstream....you're gonna have political violence like you never have seen before. Mainstream, frequent, and everywhere.
I am pleased - - you will eventually lose freedoms over this.
