there should be continuous protests at the white house… but nobody said anything about burning anything down and now you sound like a cop trying to bait people

My tinfoil hat thinks that the White House is the bait. Plants get violent or encourage destruction through mob mentality. Maybe even preplanned destruction just to allow the gathered protesters take the blame. The administration goes on a media rampage, claiming it's worse than Jan 6th - uses it to militarize nationwide against protests, gathering, detractors. This all happens while the economic issues peak, so America is distracted by the media blitz and it happens long enough that they get used to the prices.

Their administration doesn't really care about Washington, The White House, whatever, but Mar Lago 1) isn't a Statehouse and 2) is really Trumps favorite place. It's something I don't think he would sacrifice for gains or a media blitz. The amount of people gathering at Mar Lago instead gets the same messages across without walking into a mousetrap.

On the other hand, a group of a million (min) from all the States would at least ensure a semblance of group cohesion that would make plans and actual peaceful detractors difficult to organize and instigate, assuming the protests are going to happen at the White House. This seems to be what 5051 is gearing toward, and I think it's only the right move if the number of people is correct.

Trump isn't going to give up power easily and he has a league of rich elites (some with foreign ties and gang ties as well) backing him. I don't put sabotage, plants, or setups beneath him or his cronies.
