The Jan. 6 insurrection was a pitiful performance of white victimhood
The Jan. 6 insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol last year claimed they were oppressed. But they were so blind to their own privilege.

If we’re to take the Jan. 6 insurrectionists at their word, last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol was meant to demonstrate that they're an oppressed group.

And yet, everything about the way the attack unfolded, and everything that’s happened since, has undermined the cries from the violent, largely white mass of malcontents that terrorized the nation one year ago.

Some claimed that predominantly Black districts — read: Black voters — “stole” the election with fraudulent voting. They claimed the government was privy to this scheme and did nothing, implying that Black people are given preferential treatment in America.

And it was all lies.

Election reviews have proven voter fraud had no impact on the outcome of the 2020 presidential race. And on top of that, it’s increasingly clear that Republicans committed a large portion of the illegal voting that did occur. The criminal mind conservatives connect to Black voters is a white lie in the most literal of ways, and a deflection from the reality of right-wing voter fraud.

3. The Right-Wing and Trump movements have DARVO at their foundation

When you have an ideology built on hatred for Americans and American ideals, as well as intolerance and self-centeredness. You need to lean on a truly vile and dishonest tactic like DARVO so that your followers can feel good about being complete and utter assholes
