No. It wasn't. The attack was a success, yet, our democracy was never at risk; was never at issue; was never questioned--Unlike Jan. 6th.
Once again, One person shot Reagan. Four people shot up the House Chamber. On Jan. 6, Trump's lies had half the country believing bullshit. A mob of hundreds of people stormed the Capitol building with the ultimate goal of violating the Constitution, our democracy, and installing the losing candidate. The only other time our Constitution was at risk was during the Civil war; when the "same" Southern bumkins first attacked our country. Dumbed down: An attack on the country, or an attack on politicians, is not equivalent to an attack on our form of government--our democracy.
Enough with the pearl clutching hysteria. Do you actually believe this mob was going to take over the government? That they somehow had the firepower to take and control the Capitol building? If you actually believe that you're in need of psychiatric care. I mean there is message board hyerbolic nonsense that we all engage in from time to time, but you're jumping the shark with this silliness.
Enough of you clutching Trump's balls. Did I say that? Did I say an attack is equivalent to a successful attack?
While I know why Biden's not taking the lead on this issue, should defending the democracy not fall on the executive if the legislative fails to do their sworn duty?
Versus the endless "election fraud" bs and how Trump to this day still thinks he'll be reinstated as President ? Just who exactly is not of sound mind in this equation ? But you know what, those who drank the Koolaid and acted on it should spend a term in jail considering their actions. Those who limited to posting incredibly dumb stuff online ( like "Beautiful Stanger, Buy1Sell2, ... ) are in a sense lucky.
A small lawful, demonstration, they call an insurrection but, Antifa/BLM thugs who are actually, armed and have shot people to death in Portland, Oregon or Seattle, WA are just demonstrators. Their acts of shooting people, burning businesses and torching them after they rob them, is just a lawful demonstration according to extreme liberal hacks on TV and cable, Democrat and RINO, do nothing politicians? Police, FBI, DOJ refuse to do their jobs because mayors, governors gave them orders to stand down. In the bizarro world of extreme liberals, criminals are heroes and those demonstrating against them are rabid radicals. At most, the January 6, 2021 demonstrators were guilty of trespassing and nothing else. Those who destroyed property can be charged for minor crimes but, FBI and DOJ prosecutions show you the fascist tendencies of extreme liberals if you put them in power. They are the real danger to the US and its citizens.
