Trump causes confusion by sharing meme calling Jan 6 a ‘government staged riot’ even though he was in power - eviltoast

The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”

The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.

    70 million people with a pulse voted for this guy and made life-size plastic idols of him in his honor. What amazes me is that they’ll do it again. Trump has no loyalty to even his most fanatic worshippers and no coherent plan for America other than cashing out for himself at anyone else’s expense. And he keeps telling everyone as much because he has no filter and uses our two-tiered justice system to keep getting away with it.

    What kind of reason besides spite or greed could possibly motivate people to fawn over a blatantly awful man who already threw them under the bus a few times the moment it suited him better?

      It owns the libs. They literally don’t give a fuck about anything else.

      Meanwhile, I would just like to feel confident that if I had to go to the hospital I could, and it wouldn’t bankrupt me. But I’m getting owned so hard lol Trump MAGA lol

      They’re all living vicariously through his “sticking it to The Man” act. They love him because this is what they think they would do if they were in power. They cheer him getting away with it because it’s exactly how they would write fan fiction about themselves (were they literate).
