This is sort of my take on the Jan. 6 "Big Lie" folks. Deep down, they know.

That is why there has not been a repeat of Jan. 6, because when there are signs that the National Guard will be deployed, or just that security and police will offer proper resistence, the organizers tell everyone to stand down. They say that justice is worth dying for, but that is not how they behave.

Contrast with many other uprisings in the world where people have been oppressed for decades and are ready to die for the cause.
