Inside Trump supporters’ online echo chambers, the chaos of Jan. 6 could be seen
coming. People posted their plans to come to Washington — and showed the weapons
they would carry.

By Dan Barry and Sheera Frenkel
Published Jan. 6, 2021 | Updated July 27, 2021

For weeks, President Trump and his supporters had been proclaiming Jan. 6, 2021,
as a day of reckoning. A day to gather in Washington to “save America” and “stop
the steal” of the election he had decisively lost, but which he still maintained
— often through a toxic brew of conspiracy theories — that he had won by a
landslide.

And when that day came, the president rallied thousands of his supporters with
an incendiary speech. Then a large mob of those supporters, many waving Trump
flags and wearing Trump regalia, violently stormed the Capitol to take over the
halls of government and send elected officials into hiding, fearing for their
safety.

But if the chaos in the Capitol shocked the country, one of the most disturbing
aspects of this most disturbing day was that it could be seen coming. The
president himself had all but circled it on the nation’s calendar.

“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of
several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”

And his supporters [insurrectionists] took the president at his word.

“If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared
to accept barbarism,” a member of the Red-State Secession group on Facebook
posted on Tuesday, the eve of the appointed day, Jan. 6.

Beneath it, dozens of people posted comments that included photographs of the
weaponry — including assault rifles — that they said they planned to bring to
the rally. There were also comments referring to “occupying” the Capitol and
forcing Congress to overturn the November election that Joseph R. Biden Jr. had
won — and Mr. Trump had lost.

Renée DiResta, a researcher who studies online movements at the Stanford
Internet Observatory, said that the violent disruption at the Capitol on
Wednesday was the result of online movements operating in closed social media
networks where claims of voter fraud and a stolen election found oxygen.

“This is a demonstration of the very real-world impact of echo chambers,” Ms.
DiResta said.

The roots of one of the darkest moments in American democracy reached at least
as far back as Nov. 4, the day after the presidential election that Mr. Trump
would decisively lose to Mr. Biden. On that day, the first Stop the Steal group
was formed on Facebook — and it quickly took off, realizing at one point 100 new
members every 10 seconds. The group swelled to 320,000 followers before Facebook
shut it down.

As hundreds of new Stop the Steal groups continued to pop up, Facebook became
more aggressive in shutting them down, prompting some far-right supporters of
Mr. Trump — including some involved in militias and conspiracy groups — to move
to new, less-restrictive social media sites, including Parler and Gab. And it
was on these sites that a movement to organize an insurrection in Washington
gathered momentum.

Trump and his entire inner circle were in constant contact with the treasonous
insurrectionists starting Nov. 4, 2020. It is well documented that the Trump
campaign gave $3.5 million to some of the traitor groups:

Trump’s political operation paid more than $3.5 million to Jan. 6 organizers
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/02/jan-6-protests-trump-operation-paid-3p5mil/

Trump, Bannon, Meadows, Flynn, Giuliani, Powell, Eastman — they *all* were in on
the planning for the insurrection starting the day after the election. The
insurrection unfolded exactly as they all had planned.

His words that day, as the 'insurrection' was already occurring - again
and again and again:

"Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our
democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there
with you, we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down.

Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the
Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen
and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some
of them.

Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to
show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that
Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been
lawfully slated, lawfully slated.

I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol
building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

....

Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My
fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our
beloved country.

And I say this despite all that's happened. The best is yet to come.

So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love
Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to
try and give.

The Democrats are hopeless — they never vote for anything. Not even one
vote. But we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones
because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try
and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back
our country.

So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.

I want to thank you all. God bless you and God Bless America.

Thank you all for being here. This is incredible. Thank you very much.
Thank you."

Republicans are better at winning elections than governing the country.
