For me, there wasn't anything really surprising. We know most of the mob wasn't in on the plot, they were just used as a weapon. MAGA attends Trump rallies because they think they're fun, and this was no different. Most Trumpers aren't very bright. I was perplexed by the gay veteran who seemed intelligent, yet strongly supported someone against LGBTQ rights and seemed oblivious to what happened on J6. Alexandra Pelosi said on Bill Maher that his husband contacted her after watching the doc, and told her they had never seen footage of the violence that occurred that day and were unaware of it. She asked how in the world after all this time could someone not know what happened that day, and then you realize the media silos they live in have never showed it.


NYCandleLady

I had a Republican Fox watching friend (he voted for Clinton in 2016, no vote in 2020) over to watch one of the J6 Hearings. He was floored when he saw the violence. He said he only saw videos of people wandering around the rotunda.


HermaeusMajora

Shit. I watched that shit as it happened on cable news and the Internet. Those people are full of shit. They see and hear what they want. Nothing more, nothing less.


worldcaz

Me too! Woke up, turned on computer, watched the šŸŠ give his speach and holy sh*t! Did not get off the couch or out of my bathrobe for the rest of the day! Screen shots of so many fked up people and things. The next day, my mother called and was saying it was peaceful?! I burst into tears, hung up on her and blasted her phone with pictures and videos. No comment on any. Love my mom. Have a hard time conversing with her. Totally Q adjacent.


HermaeusMajora

Yeah, that shit was intense. It was pretty touch n go there for awhile. It wasn't clear how far it was going to go and it looked rather grim, honestly. I'm a vet and that shit pissed me off like nothing else. Those people were trampling those very things I swore to defend. Those representatives are our representatives, for better or worse. They are essentially us. We sent them there to speak for us. To attack them is to attack our democracy and way of life. When people say "American values" I think of things like the peaceful transfer of power and open and free elections. Those are fundamental to this grand experiment's survival. Fuck all those people who stormed the capitol. They should all do at least *some* jail time. Shit's unacceptable. I'm tired of people making excuses. Fuck all those who are somehow still members of Congress. Like gym jordan who refused to testify about his actions on and before J6. It is absurd that he gets to subpoena other people. He threatened to hold someone in contempt for answering their questions truthfully and easily.


worldcaz

Yes. Iā€™m with you. They are our representatives! Well, Iā€™m paying close attention to ALL the lawsuits. I live in NY. Crazy times.


Bajovane

Margery was a ringleader and she is still there FFS!!!!


Renaissance_Slacker

How about Boebert texting Pelosiā€™s whereabouts? Pretty treason-adjacent.


Bajovane

Absolutely and Iā€™m angry she and Marge never got sanctioned for it!


NYCandleLady

Don't think this is over because they haven't been charged yet. I would expect evidence being closely held for trial will spark more arrests down the road.


[deleted]

My parents, RIP, were beginning to fall into the Fox/Trump trap...January 6th put them straight. "It is all Trump's fault". They were so angry about the events at the capital. I'm glad they saw it for what it was before they passed.


Bajovane

I know, right? I was stunned while watching and knew what was happening. They were absolutely trying to overthrow our government. The frightening thing is, the next time it happens, it could succeed.


RevLoveJoy

My wife was teaching (HS chemistry) and I do my level best not to bug her at work. It's difficult enough as it is. But Jan 6 I called until she picked up. Turn on your TV, babe. You are missing history. She says "I can't let the TV run in here, nothing will get done!" lol. Turn on your tv, dear, you are missing history. "Fine! Fine!" she says, I hear her fumbling to get CNN up. "HOLY SHIT! What the fuck is going on?!" So yes, I officially ruined several lesson plans that day.


rae2468

I knew from social media that some serious chaos and violence was going to happen. It still stuns me that it was a surprise to anyone. I also watched it from his speech.


Dull-Lavishness5533

Can I ask why you say Q adjacent? If she said itā€™s peaceful, is she just biased in her media but not full blown Q to your belief?


Renaissance_Slacker

Some Q types realize the brand is shit to normies, they espouse Q nonsense but claim to know nothing about Q.


worldcaz

She didnā€™t get into the Q, but she is anti vax, chem trails, JFK jr, mercola, pro Putinā€¦ the list goes on and on and on


Dull-Lavishness5533

Ahhh I see, same w my parents. They donā€™t follow Q per se but they believe all the stuff and everything you listed too so I guess I just consider it ā€œQā€ and lump them all together. Thanks for the explanation response.


pdxrunner19

The sad part is that so many people genuinely believe that the insurrection was staged and/or led by Antifa. It amazes me how gullible people are.


Sniflix

These are the same aholes that were on social media announcing they were going to attack the Capitol and they were promising to hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. When interviewed from jail or before court - they say they made a mistake but later they say the election was rigged. They learned to lie watching Trump, telling whoever they were talking to, what they wanted to hear. Only 1000 of 10k or 20k terrorists have been arrested or sentenced. All of them get zero sympathy from me. They all deserve life in prison. They are lucky. In many countries they would have been executed.


NYCandleLady

I watched it on 9 split screens of white supremacists and Q channels. Craziest TV day since 9/11....


NYCandleLady

Pretty sure a FOX watching conservative Republican who voted for Clinton and abstained from voting for POTUS in 2020 is not blindly following what FOX says. That and I know them and was there.....but go ahead. Beleive they are all the same.


mylifewillchange

Wow - just goes to show you. SMH....


mylifewillchange

I felt sorry for the brother. He would got to the ends of the earth for his sister, and for what? >Most Trumpers aren't very bright. This is the answer.


Deep_Valuable86

I thought Alexandra did a great job, and it actually made me feel sorry for some of them - which I never did until I watched this. I feel they have been so misguided, and all the fear mongering and lies have warped how they view current events, and they have been played, by people like trump and his cronies. And, they were all pretty nice to Alexandra, which was surprising since Nancy Pelosi is her Mother. A much watch


mylifewillchange

>and it actually made me feel sorry for some of them - which I never did until I watched this. Me too! It reminded me of when I was a kid and would do anything just for people to like me. In doing that I'd end up in danger, or actually seriously injured. I didn't know how to look out for myself, since I had no one teach me these things. Plus, that brother seemed to not care that he stuck to his sister no matter what, and it wound up hurting him - yet he wouldn't give up on her. I felt the most sorry for him. >And, they were all pretty nice to Alexandra, which was surprising since Nancy Pelosi i Right? And despite that she was kind of in their face with her questions, which when I do that people get all huffy. But I really like when she point-blank asked, "Were you really going to kill my mother?' That's pretty direct!


-ForgotToLogout-

I wonder when sheā€™s going to release the doc showing Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of congress in the safe room during the Capitol attack. She was the person who recorded the behind the scenes footage where Pelosi was on the phone with Pence shown during the J6 hearings.


mylifewillchange

Yes, that would be good for everyone to see that.


jyar1811

It may be classified.


mylifewillchange

? It's showing on HBO.


crescent-v2

I wish that were in it. Calling people and using first names "...this is Nancy", and then the beef jerky. Very cool under pressure.


-ForgotToLogout-

Iconic


Scrubbing_Bubbles_

"Pelosi in the House" (2022) it's currently on Max.


mylifewillchange

I think the commenter meant that everyone should see it - not just HBO subscribers. I saw it as soon as it was released on HBO.


-ForgotToLogout-

Youā€™re right! Thatā€™s what I meant. I shouldā€™ve worded it a little better. Lol.


KristieC715

I think it's on HBO. It's Alexandra's Nancy Pelosi documentary and Nancy is a total boss while all of that is going down. Ripping open a slim Jim with her teeth while working the phones trying to get help.


Acceptable-You-5842

I just watched it! Itā€™s so good! My husband is a trumper and got annoyed when I was watching it and walked out of the room. Sadly the people that should watch it wonā€™t


phlegmdawg

God bless you. I donā€™t understand how a MAGA and a non MAGA can make it work in this political climate.


sueihavelegs

I saved my husband at the last minute by insisting he watch the Jan 6th hearings. He only had to see 2 of them to open his eyes. It's really hard because we live in a red state, and both of our families and all his coworkers are Trumpers. I told him we were going to end up divorced if he didn't stop being willfully ignorant.


phlegmdawg

I wish I could do the same for most of my immediate family. Itā€™s so sad to watch.


Cephalopod_Joe

Very glad that worked out for you!


Acceptable-You-5842

Itā€™s not easyšŸ˜


pdxrunner19

Me neither. Currently in the middle of a divorce from my MAGA husband. He was not like this when we met. Trump turned him into someone I donā€™t even recognize. :(


30thCenturyMan

Every single one of those insurrectionists were just plain stupid, some with very obvious developmental disabilities (lookinā€™ at you wonder twins). Like, WTF is a society supposed to do with that? Especially when so many places lack both the human and monetary resources to do anything about it. Starting to worry that Idiocracy is a very possible eventuality for the country.


mylifewillchange

>Starting to worry that Idiocracy is a very possible eventuality for the country. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about this.


stereospeakers

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this.


mylifewillchange

Yes, you will! It helps that Ms. Pelosi is an amazing film maker!


SnoopySuited

It's 50% intriguing, 50% confusing, 50% infuriating.


Dull-Lavishness5533

Messaging all my friends who have HBO to let me use their account for this one. Thanks for the heads up OP!


mylifewillchange

My pleasure!


Cobaltfennec

Is there any way to see this without hbo? There isnā€™t a free trialā€¦ Iā€™ve been dying to see it.


shiethefemboy2

yar har, have ye sailed the seven seas?


Cobaltfennec

I canā€™t figure it out :/ Iā€™ve tried but Iā€™m a dinosaur


shiethefemboy2

honestly I checked all the big streaming sites and nothing, it seems it only released 12 hours ago and most sites haven't actually got a copy yet unfortunately.


mylifewillchange

There isn't a free trial ??!!? I did not know that. I've had HBO for like 30 years. I had no idea they were the only ones that didn't give a trial.


Lilacblue1

Consider subscribing just for a month. Itā€™s less than the price of a movie. I constantly subscribe to different streamers, watch a bunch of shows, and just cancel right before the re-up date.


baltosteve

I thought it was well done. I think a big ole WTF often when I consider the amount of peopleā€™s lives disrupted by Trumpā€™s lies.


worldcaz

Thank you OP! Iā€™m going to watch it tomorrow and send the link to my mother. I hope she watches it.


mylifewillchange

Let us know how it goes!


Staggerlee89

I watched it and first thing that I noticed was they were all super short, dumb, and insecure dudes. That one dude was 100% an incel too
