Ross: It’s never a good idea to join a rampaging mob

Now there鈥檚 a false flag theory about the attack on the Capitol 鈥 that these weren鈥檛 Trump supporters, but were Antifa flying false colors. I鈥檝e heard so many false flag theories, I just assume now that everybody is waving somebody else鈥檚 flag, and has no idea who鈥檚 side they鈥檙e on.

But when you read the descriptions of the people under arrest, they hardly reflect an organized strike force. They鈥檙e a mashup that ranges from the proud white nationalist from Arkansas who rested his boot on a desk in Pelosi鈥檚 office, to a remorseful CEO from Illinois, now suddenly unemployed, who said joining that mob was the worst decision of his life.

It is never a good idea to join a rampaging mob. It eats you up, it numbs your conscience, it hijacks your free will, and you end up leaving the worst version of yourself forever etched on the internet.

And for what? For some of the Capitol marauders, it was because they believed in the revelations of the mysterious 鈥淨.鈥 And yet according to 鈥,鈥 a fairly conservative pro-Trump website, this 鈥淨鈥 persona was deliberately set up to make money by trolling Trump supporters, with compelling, but completely fictional stories.

That鈥檚 really mean. Although I did run across this Q-Anon website with an image of Trump holding a familiar plastic toy with a red frame and displaying the message 鈥淔ollow Me on Etch-A-Sketch.鈥

They may be into sedition, but at least they have a sense of humor about it.
