The Jan. 6 insurrection was a pitiful performance of white victimhood

If we’re to take the Jan. 6 insurrectionists at their word, last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol was meant to demonstrate that they’re an oppressed group.

And yet, everything about the way the attack unfolded, and everything that’s happened since, has undermined the cries from the violent, largely white mass of malcontents that terrorized the nation one year ago.

Some claimed that predominantly Black districts — read: Black voters — “stole” the election with fraudulent voting. They claimed the government was privy to this scheme and did nothing, implying that Black people are given preferential treatment in America.

And it was all lies.
