“MisinfoNation: Extreme America,” on CNN opened with a familiar scene – a swarm of chuds around Anarchy Princess.
It’s a tactic that they’ve been using for years, since the days of the 1776 Restoration Movement, a failed offshoot of the trucker convoy, and Freedom Corner, the dismal J6 cult outside the DC Jail.
If someone with an alternative view shows up, or is just someone they find suspicious (they think antifa is everywhere), they surround the person and start shouting and bumping them until they leave.
It was the night of the Inauguration. Trump had promised to free the January 6th rioters on “Day 1” and a motley crew of J6 simps, conspiracy theorists and YouTube livestreamers had gathered outside the DC Jail, expecting to see the people who attacked the Capitol walk free.
But would Trump pardon all of them? Certainly not the ones who attacked police officers, right? This was the party that “backed the blue.”
Speaker Mike Johnson didn’t think that the ones convicted of violent crimes should go free. Vice President JD Vance thought that they should be evaluated on a “case-by-case basis.”
The night before, I talked to a local official, who was concerned about the prospect of so many violent criminals being released into the city. I was consulted because I had written about the nightly Freedom Corner vigil.
He didn’t think that Trump would pardon all the J6ers. That would undermine the rule of law.
Sweet summer child…
This is what I hate about the Democrats, who think that they’re in an episode of The West Wing instead of a desperate fight for democracy. Unlike on TV, the best speech isn’t going to win.
The local official said that he would draft a letter. It would come out after the J6 prisoners had been released. This is the kind of weakness and naivete that allowed Trump to take over four years after his coup attempt.
“MisinfoNation: Extreme America” attempts to conflate the MAGA mobs, thousands strong and heavily armed, with one man, Luigi Mangione, who killed a health insurance CEO.
There’s no comparison because the left still believes in the rule of law, something the violent right left behind years ago. As affirmed by the Supreme Court, the law is whatever Trump says it is.
Donie O’Sullivan picked out a good villain for his documentary: Ivan Raiklin, the self-described Secretary of Retribution. A loathsome, Gollum-like creature, he believes that J6 was a setup, engineered by Nancy Pelosi.
In a crazy even by J6 standards video, he threatened Pelosi while standing by a pool, his hairless body clad only in a Speedo. Raiklin has demanded military tribunals and executions for the people on his enemies list.
And he vowed to ruin Donie.
Experienced chud watchers like myself (I wrote the Chud Glossary) know all these characters. I recognized at least a dozen of them in “MisinfoNation: Extreme America.”
It’s funny to watch “normies” endure their first encounters with these Trump-worshipping fanatics. Donie’s eyes went wide as the chuds surrounded Anarchy Princess outside the jail while shouting obscenities and trying to provoke her (she’s a cool customer). You can see on his face a rapid slideshow of emotions: shock, fear, disgust, WTF.
“MisinfoNation: Extreme America” was a chance for millions of people around the country to see the strange world of MAGA cultists that the media has so desperately tried to normalize.
Hasan the Hun did a hilarious job roasting the chuds on YouTube, commenting that it looks like Ivan Raiklin was wearing a skin mask and that he’s a goblin that loves climbing walls.
And he came up with a great new concept: Dark Woke.
Dark Woke means going into chud spaces and not backing down.
Trump didn’t even get 50% of the vote. He can’t win on the issues (like tariffs and disappearing immigrants) so he and his flunkies try to intimidate people.
There are good reasons to fear this government, with its vast surveillance power and military force.
But there’s no reason to fear the kinds of weirdos that show up outside a jail to shout at CNN.
Stay Dark Woke.
