‘This Place Rules’ Isn’t Original, It’s The Tired Jan. 6-QAnon Playbook With A Fresh Cover

Another documentary about Jan. 6, and QAnon is out. This one, however, doesn’t explicitly prey on the anxieties of middle-aged #RESIST libs but instead seeks a younger audience with millennials and Gen Z.

“This Place Rules” is essentially a feature-length adaptation of director Andrew Callaghan’s previous venture into gonzo journalism in which he chronicled the political mayhem unfolding during the riots, presidential election, and general political and cultural upheaval of 2020. Callaghan gained a large following by conducting candid interviews with men-on-the streets at key national events. His YouTube channel has a unique sense satirical humor and authenticity. “All Gas No Brakes.”

Callaghan’s old videos on the “All Gas No Brakes” YouTube page feature interviews with some of the quirkier folks comprising the American populace — like those who attend fur fetish conventions and try hunting Bigfoot in their spare time.

But at the end of the day, the documentary’s focus isn’t actually on highlighting, let alone celebrating, the uniqueness of the American people, as its title might suggest. “This Place Rules,” Indeed, it appears that the title is a cynical selection. The documentary is primarily concerned in evangelizing leftist messages to audiences. The conspiracy theorists at QAnon are representative of all conservative Americans. Right-wing protests pose a threat to “our democracy.” And Jan. 6 was the darkest day in our nation’s history. 

Sure, presumably in the spirit of fairness — or, more realistically, to maintain the veneer of ideological balance — “This Place Rules” Shows left-wingers in insane and extreme actions 

One instance is when the documentary crew interviews a Washington, D.C. woman who, as she rocked back and forth in an indoor rocking chair while examining a Biden Harris campaign poster on her wall, said, “Trump is going to go to prison in 2022, and he’s going to get raped, [but] again, I’m really not that political.” Moments earlier, she had referred to the former President as “a” “vile human being void of decency” Before mocking his
