Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I think what mount actually be effective would be to have a 'January 6th Re-enactment' event. You basically gaslight the fuck out of Republicans and act like the j6 insurrection was a peaceful protest. Then have as many people show up as possible dressed in pro Trump shit with face coverings, only this time, we do what they actually intended to do with j6, which is overthrow the government.
Like what are they gonna do? Freak out because j6 was a violent act of treason? Because it's just a re-enactment of what repubs claim was a peaceful demonstration.
Also don't actually announce the event in advance, just show up unexpectedly, it will give them no time to prepare the troops/national guard.
At the end of the day the optics will be that a group of Trump supporters are trying to reenact an event that Trump claims was a perfectly peaceful legal demonstration. Except we actually execute it correctly. At first make it really hokey and stupid like a civil war re-enactment. Let people put their guard down, have the event start to peter out, then bam, swarm once they've let their guard down, and smoke, smoke, smoke. Reduce visibility, create chaos, act quickly. Have ice looking camo and carriers on under you clothes, switch clothes quickly, blend in as another team of responders, make your way to the perimeter, sabotage people stationed there, cause more chaos, then disperse. Capture the reps guilty of treason, deal with them on the spot
When you make it so the responders can't trust one another when they respond to the event you will have won.
