Why this is happening is more important than what is happening

 As I was working to list the units detailed to the Army of the Potomac, I realized that this was not a productive use of time. Instead of cataloging WHO was there, I should be trying to discern WHY they are there. I have come up with a couple of ideas. 

We know that the election was stolen. We also know that the Capitol incursion was a false flag job. Since the attack was planned and put into motion DAYS before the President's speech, this was not impromptu. Since Pelosi, the Mayor of DC, the Director of the FBI, and others KNEW about it and not only failed to act, but took positive steps to prevent others from acting, this was done under the direction of the Democrat party and its leaders. 

It's obvious why the Capitol attack happened: It allowed both the assembly of the Army of the Potomac and the elimination of any opposing speech from the right. Ok, but WHY are they assembling this army? 

There are three reasons that I can think of:

1 They needed a large, negative event to shock the nation into accepting Trump being impeached. 

I don't think that an event this large, along with the callup of two divisions of troops was needed to impeach Trump again. Also, why put all 50 states on alert? The powers doing this have a MUCH larger agenda in mind, or else they would not have pressed so hard.  

2. They are trying to silence those who claim that the election was stolen, thus preventing the nation from focusing on his illegitimate presidency. 

For the same reasons as above, I just don't see this large of an event being needed to cover for a stolen election. I have seen the theory that this is being done to prevent actions being taken against the methods that were used to steal the election. This seems rather extreme. 

3. There is something MUCH larger coming. 

The election was stolen. Not in a subtle manner. It was done in such a way as to be obvious, in such a way that they KNEW it would be caught. So they either don't care that they will be caught, or they WANTED to be caught. 

Then they fired up their base. Even the troops on TV are saying that they are proud to be defending against a "white supremacist revolution." For years, we have heard those on the right say that the Army and our police would never fire on fellow Americans because they are our neighbors. Now they are saying "If it wasn't my job, I would have done it for free. It was my privilege to help stop a white nationalist insurrection." 

This worries me. My wife keeps telling me that all of this is just talk. She says to stop worrying because all of the talk of enemies lists, reeducation camps, and making it illegal to protest a stolen election are just that- talk. My wife has told me that, "They will never be able to pass any of that." Sometimes I wonder if I am letting all of this get to me, but I see what I see. 

Why would anyone go to so much trouble? Or am I just seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one?

EDITED TO ADD: I honestly don't think that #1 or #2 are it, but I have to concede the possibility. After all, I have been wrong about things before. - Thanks to Big Country for pointing out that my ideas may be off base...
