This analysis of the short movie shown just before Trump's speech at the Jan 6 Capitol rally is chilling.
Someone (Steven Miller?) is very adept at creating modern fascist propaganda. I even found myself sucked in by it.

@x_minus_t @leo It's hard to grasp that it's real. I had to do some searching to see whether this is some kind of satire, but so far it's looking like it's real? It's chilling if so.

@Pictor @x_minus_t @leo the edit that thing to death. It’s amazing how a good editor allows you to change a narrative or push one. It’s embarrassing out government is so shifty.

@leo I mean... I don't want to "like" this, but... wow. Just... wow.

@leo Very. It's like a scene in a movie where you'd be like, "OK, this is them introducing the bad guy"

@leo People worry about making associations to Hitler, but when they basically do exactly what Goebbels did, how can the comparison be avoided?
