Please remind me when top democrats encouraged antifa violence, and encouraged insurrection? When did antifa violently storm the capital, trash congress, attempt to physically intimidate and assault representatives and senators, and try to overturn a free and fair election through violence? All at the behest of the democratic leader? When?
you dont see why this was so much bigger of a deal than the summer riots? Seriously?
You certainly downplay the attempt to burn federal officers alive.
What happened yesterday was absolutely shameful, but no one attempted to burn anyone alive.
What did anyone do that could be considered an attempt at doing that? Stupid =/= violent attempt to overthrow anything. Was anyone that entered even armed? They sure didn’t return fire when one of their own was shot. What was their plan once inside? How did they plan to overthrow anything? It was a childish cry for attention.
And selfies.
You don’t think there is anyone there who is really indifferent to the cause, but is some how profiting from it?
I think most cults are low IQ, but occasionally, the cult leader is quite intelligent, and is benefiting from the con. I think there has to be at least a few of these at a rally like this.
I know your deal is to play both sides for the funnies. But this is a pretty shitty time to do that. Youre smart enough to know why this was significantly different from anything that happened this summer.
That goes without saying. If you don’t take a selfie, how will anyone know you’re a childish moron?
Trump.
Sure it was man.
Sure it was.
Now it’s your turn to clutch pearls and dive for the fainting couch.
Right. So this wasnt violent enough. Their tasers, clubs, knives, mace etc werent dangerous enough. Their plan to physically intimidate and hold hostage congress so they couldnt certify the elections wasnt thought out enough.
What changed due to these riots? Some crazy lady got killed by the cops. So what?
The summer riots didn’t change much either. I am not making a judgement on worse, or arguing worse. Just that the notion that the sky is falling seems off to me. I don’t think what the rioters did yesterdays (most of them idiots), was good, but I also don’t think it really mattered. I guess it just doesn’t make sense to me to be that worried about it. Why should I be all that worried?
That is one example. I would bet that at least a few of the Qanon guys know it is all BS, but are benefiting from it.
I see a difference from the top but not from the bottom. The people yesterday had the president’s backing and approval whereas Antifa did not have Biden’s, for example, support.
But if you are murdered, would it matter to you if it were Antifa or Proud Boys who did it?
How will the cops know where to find you?
Well yeah but you could say the same about the Sopranos, weren’t people wishing for more diversity among made guys? A Thai lady boy as a made person, now that’s what folks wanna see.
They tried that; it didn’t turn out that well.
And they wouldn’t be seen at a riot.
And THAT is why this is so different. And why we cannot shrug this off.
Ontop of the physical target being far different (small time courthouse vs the capital building), and the ideological target being different (anarchys, yay vs violently overturn the presidential election), the people leading this movement were the very top of our government.
We don’t know how many kids the Don really has, so this could be a season #2 shocker!
Trump Thailand–Golf course executive by day, nightclub Yankee yanker by night!
Yes. Also: It can’t be emphasized strongly enough that many of these fools were too stupid to wear a mask to conceal their identities during a time that wearing a mask is acceptable.
