Patriotic Americans Should Not Take the Bait

Don't be a sucker!

Currently, there appear to be three theories in play to explain to the public why the Biden Administration would authorize the F.B.I. to raid the home of a former President of the United States of America

Presently, the one getting the most airplay is that it was to enable the government to retrieve documents belonging to the National Archives. However, it’s simply beyond credulity to believe that either Merrick Garland or Christopher Wray—much less, both—would ever realistically expect the public to accept that excuse for what they did in Mar-a-Lago any more than they could expect the public to understand the need to deploy a S.W.A.T. team to retrieve overdue library books.

Then there’s the theory that the raid was to enable unidentified political enemies of the 45th President to conduct a fishing expedition to find—or, worse yet, plant—any evidence they could use to prevent him from ever hoping to hold any elected office in the future—i.e. like, say, the Presidency in 2024. This is a more credible theory than the first. Past experience has taught us these people DO expect the average American to believe their lies, and, even if they don’t buy the lies, these people in the end simply don’t care what the public thinks. But is that alone enough for Trump’s enemies to conclude such a stunt is worth risking the huge public repulsion of the raid they are currently experiencing? And, even if it did provide them a pretext to plant false evidence, would that be worth the risk? Consider how well that strategy worked out for them when they recently tried to get the public to swallow the laughably false testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson. This was hardly an experience even hard-core anti-Trumpers would want to revisit again any time soon.

That leaves a third plausible theory that some, including Gregg Phillips of True the Vote, have offered to explain the government’s Stassi-like tactics, but which deserves far more airtime than it is being given. That is that the invasion of Trump’s residence was a strategic slap in the face of the American public to goad the emotions—i.e., both fear and anger—of Trump’s 70 million supporters in the hope that at least a few will respond to these emotions with some form of violence.

There are at least two reasons they might want this response from Patriots.
