WASHINGTON, D.C. — Finally, the fascists are coming out of the closet with less than nine months to go before November.

Not that massive coverage of it will do the movement and its promoters any harm, or even slow them down. They literally believe that history is on their side, and no one seems to be telling them any different. But we all know the “right side of history” movement is on the other side.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive,” wrote Scottish author Sir Walter Scott, and he was right.

But let’s all clap and thank right-wing Navy Intel counterintelligence flame-thrower Jack Posobiec for at least admitting the plan openly, and for once again setting off a “wave of alarm,” according to NBC News, after a video of his welcome speech at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference went viral.

“Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely,” he said Thursday during a panel moderated by Trump mouthpiece Steve Bannon. “We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”

Posobiec said he wanted to end democracy and finish the mission of Jan. 6, installing a God-first government, according this video from the conference.

Posobiec — known for internet trolling, conspiracy theories and blustering rhetoric, as well as open support for Neo-Nazi groups classified as domestic terrorist outfits — continued to use rhetoric evocative of a violent revolution in his speech on Friday.

“After we burn that swamp to the ground, we will establish the new American republic on its ashes, and our first order of business will be righteous retribution for those who betrayed America,” he declared.

His calls for attendees to “fight,” and his support for “each and every J6-er” received standing ovations from many conference attendees, who defended the participants of the Jan. 6 insurrection in interviews with NBC News.

Posobiec said in a subsequent speech and in an interview with NBC News that his statements were largely satirical, poking fun at what he sees as a lack of democratic values from President Joe Biden’s administration.

“We are always supportive of a constitutional republic,” Posobiec said on Friday, referring to conservatives at large.

“What we’re trying to do is return it to the original system,” he said. “We’re not destroying all of democracy, just their [Democrats’] democracy.”

Sorry Bub, but that’s NOT democracy. In a democracy, we have a civil policy debate based on long-established values, standards and methods, and hold elections for the peaceful transfer of power. A seditious conspiracy and a violent insurrection to overthrow an election is the tactic of a traitor to the United States of America. There was a time when we hanged traitors. Now we just put them on TeeVee to represent the “other side.”

Posobiec has pedaled unfounded conspiracy theories about the involvement of federal agencies in fomenting the violence that occurred at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, calling for justice for those prosecuted in relation to the incident. The conspiracy theory and its associated movement had fans at CPAC, many of whom thought that the events of Jan. 6 were a legitimate and “good-natured” effort to influence the election, says NBC News?

This nonsense continues.

For some attendees, Posobiec’s calls against democracy resonated with them, playing into their belief that Jan. 6 was a just attempt at influencing processes of our democratic republic, according to “the liberal” media, NBC News.

“Democracy is evil,” Tommy Tatum said. “Democracy is mob rule.”

Tatum, who has spoken extensively online about being at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and has recorded himself harassing Capitol police officers, was tabling at CPAC for the Jan. 6 Legal Defense Fund, which is used to pay legal fees for people facing prosecutions related to that day.

Tatum said he supported the actions of the participants of Jan 6, saying “exactly what we wanted to have happen was happening,” referencing the interference of vote-counting at the Capitol.

Suzzanne Monk, a Jan. 6 activist, runs a campaign seeking a pardon for everyone who was prosecuted in connection with the insurrection. Monk, who said she was in the area of the insurrection that day, echoed Tatum’s claims that the insurrection was supposed to be a peaceful effort to support a second term for Trump.

This goofy dingbat, Suzzanne Monk, is called a Jan. 6 activist, who runs a campaign seeking a pardon for everyone who was prosecuted in connection with the insurrection. Duh!

Monk said she doesn’t want violence, but that she worries what will happen if the 2024 election is called in Biden’s favor.

“We’ve been ignored when we bring our concerns about election fraud,” she said, “so if it happens again, I don’t know what will happen.”

Look to history, Ms. Monk. It doesn’t have to be such a mystery. Try reading instead of listening to propaganda on talk radio and right-wing cable TV.
