The 'JusticeForJ6' rally wasn’t a joke — it was a warning
“the 13 percent of Jan. 6 defendants held in jail before trial is much lower than the roughly 75 percent of federal defendants held in jail before trial nationwide.”
“They actually want you to do what happened on January 6. They want violence from us. They want us to cross the line. They want us to destroy property,” Braynard said. “They want us angry, because when you break the law, they can deal with you very easily as you’ve seen. They send the FBI after you, you go into the gulag.”
With the incoherence and inconsistencies in their message coupled with the low turnout at their marquee rally, it might be easy to dismiss Braynard and his followers. However, like so much of the modern, “JusticeForJ6” and the organization that sponsored it are simultaneously fundamentally unserious and deeply dangerous. Saturday’s event didn’t shut down D.C., but it did underscore just how much support there is for extremist messages in the main line of the Republican Party.
