43/ But again we find a strange flaw in how many journalists’ think, and despite the NYT noting repeatedly the Proud Boys’ references to “normies,” they don’t tell their readers anything about these unsexy “normies”—even though they were *80%* of those who stormed the US Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

42/ “Normies”? Yes. The New York Times’ account of the Proud Boys’ battle plan is so interested in the fact that the Proud Boys kept talking about “riling up the normies” (non-Proud Boys) on Insurrection Day that they even put this phrase *in the web address of the NYT report*. — PolitiTweet.org

44/ Simple fact: the Proud Boys didn’t have the manpower to storm the Capitol on January 6. 200 men—such as that term can be applied here—was not enough. They knew it wasn’t. Riling up “normies” wasn’t just part of the battle plan, it was *essential* to it. But they needed help. — PolitiTweet.org
