Your mistake is in believing that their rationale is not cynical. With a couple of exceptions that fall into the category of "useful idiots," none of them truly believe an insurrection is occurring or in the process of doing so. This is a power play. I despise drawing comparisons of this nature because it always sounds hyperbolic and stupid, but this is a fake Reichstag Fire.

With each new accusation, the Democrats have upped the stakes. We've gone from Russian meddling to outright insurrection. The hyperbole is rising with each wave of spittle-flecked demagoguery. They know what they're saying is untrue, they just don't care. They have power, they intend to keep it no matter the cost.

How do you know the Reichstag fire wasn't faked?

The Reichstag actually burned, just the Nazis blamed the communists for what they did themselves. The Democrats are claiming an armed insurrection that didn't even happen.

The story is more complicated than that. Nazis bad, duh, but they weren’t behind it either

But regardless, the Nazis, like today's Democratic Party, sure knew how to "use" it. That should be crystal clear in both cases.

I don't think M. Lee meant to imply that. Didn't M. Lee mean to say, "....but this is a fake, like the cause of the Reichstag Fire."
