Of course. Not comparing that aspect. The idea that the rally and the storming proved some extensive financing, "all-expense paid" trip to DC, special training etc. No, no, no. Organizing a rally needs small amount of funds. It's routinely done.https://twitter.com/MaggieEThornton/status/1347969207531675660 …

If this were actually an event with the kind of extensive pre-planning and training asserted by the "who funds these people" article above, we'd be in a very, very different moment right now. Rally happened and the mob which had some self-organized elements stormed the Capitol.

The reason I raise all this: The tragedy of the―utterly false—belief below is that I WISH IT WERE TRUE. If this were an astroturf event rather than years of propaganda and politics convincing many, we'd much less to worry about. Let's not play ourselves.https://twitter.com/Mdarbyreid/status/1347970848888524800 …

There are millions of people who, after being told for months that the election is stolen, and a portion of the Republican party implicitly or explicitly supporting this lie, now believe it. Someone financing a sound system is the least of our problems.https://twitter.com/LPDonovan/status/1347919422300811274 …

Someone got permits for a rally and sprung for a few minor things. Sure. It kinda happens all the time! Rallies in DC! That is the biggest no-big-deal in a day with a lot of actual events happening.

This is a bad conspiracy theory. Too stupid. I can make up good ones!

LOL. Trump is all about accepting payments and never doling it out. These are employed voters with funds. The proven cops were flashing their badges to capital police to fain entrance. They were bringing their equipment from work.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This isn't accurate. We know--we have reams of evidence--that much of this was top down. Fiona Hill said this herself!! The argument isn't that every protester was funded--it's that a lot of very powerful folks connected to the WH helped manipulate them. Starting with Trump.

your'e one of the best journalists out there--please don't "bothsides" this. This isn't remotely like the violently anti-Semitic "Soros" lie. We know Trump has done his best to try to divert every resource imaginable into fomenting this.
