You don't see a bunch of consanguineous white dudes taking over the Capitol as authoritarian? Esp considering the only fraud was perpetrated by Republican voters?
According to the CSIS: "Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020." The good news is they are going to sign up to Donny's open source code based platform so Intel agencies will have completely visibility of all they say and all the payments he swindles out of them. Also they are idiots who think the left does not have or know how to use guns. They do have trucks, they love their convoys of big trucks like any terrorist group but.. Brains and majority against rednecks.. Won't even be close.
It was antifa and BLM who attacked the capitol on 1/6! But wait, no, the attack was righteous so they must be patriots and we have to get them out of prison! Except, oops, it was actually a false-flag operation!
You are characterizing January 6th as a takeover of the US Capitol? Most of those visitors were unarmed. Even calling January 6th a “Takeover”, it did not seem planned on the part of the visitors, as Capitol Police were conspicuously absent for the most part, allowing particularly easy access inside Congress. Besides, prior Democrat protests, using loose definitions of a “Capitol takeover” could be considered equivalent to January 6th. What would be a fair characterization of multiple, simultaneous Leftist led riots throughout the US involving arson, attacks on police, and looting? How should Democrat politicians who supported said Leftist riots through word and deed be characterized? Traitors, perhaps? Now back to you. I respect you, but think of how you might sound to others who don’t know you and are not excessively invested in a belief system? 1. You are seemingly attempting to use intimidation involving a high end sniper rifle against a class of people who have widely held political beliefs. 2. You apparently live in an exceptionally exclusive neighborhood that does not reflect demographics where most of Democrat political support comes from. Other than blatant hypocrisy, which side might you think sounds more Nazi-like to a neutral observer? Now a reminder of who I am. I am still a long term registered Democrat who feels the party no longer stands for the principles which I originally signed up for. FFS, I heavily supported Trump during his term over the other side. Although to be honest, I am not enthusiastic about Trump getting the nomination for 2024. Bottom line, I don’t see Democrats reforming until they pay a heavy political price for their hypocrisy and unnecessarily divisive ways.
The Left attempting to apply different definitions to types criminality does not paint an accurate picture of reality. Democrats reduce or eliminate bail requirements for felons, reduce classification of serious crimes for their constituents, readily return voting rights ex-felons versus previously established guidelines, and effectively ignore coordinated Leftist riots on a nationwide scale in classifying politically related violence. Please get the fvck out of your echo chamber and try see who is behind the force dividing the United States.
I think you need to look into a mirror. If a third of the GOP think that an armed insurrection is the only answer to their cramps.. then I can tell you now that I will take out 100 of them before they take me out. I'll take pics!
