Trump appears to forget that Jan 6 happened on his watch as he blames Biden in late-night screed: 'What a SCAM!'

31. I've always laughed in the face of MAGAs I've talked to that suggested that a handful of Antifa or FBI agents...

...could manipulate a crowd of many thousands of MAGA supporters to attack police offices and the US Capitol building while chanting, "hang Mike Pence!"

They would really rather say they were so weak that they were somehow goaded into these heinous actions by provocateurs than to admit personal responsibility? And here I thought "personal responsibility" was a big part of their philosophy. It's funny how they never seem to take any--I guess that is for everyone else.

But I do relish in the embarrassment most of them feel by the end of the conversation that they even went down that road of utter weakness in the first place. Inevitably they change the subject to trans boys in girls' sports--because ever actually admitting you were wrong is not part of their psyche.

So sure, go with the story that a handful of FBI agents that Biden brought in over four years earlier in anticipation that somewhere along the line they would be in place to embarrass a MAGA mob by encouraging them to violently assault the US Capitol (or maybe something else) and hang the sitting vice president if that's what it takes to make you sleep better at night. It's probably a lot easier than believing you are in a violent cult that ignores reality in service of a selfish ideology led by one of the worst human beings to ever exist.
