It's honestly time to punch fascists in the face. We have talked enough. If you support an attempted coup by a wanna be fascist dictator you don't deserve my respect or my time in understanding you argument.
Are you fucking kidding me? In this very thread, I condemned yesterday's storm on the Capitol in no uncertain terms. I called these events "insanity", "madness", "completely unacceptable" and gave my opinion that this mob would not have had a reason to complain if capitol police had mowed them down like GIs on the beaches of the Normandy. I also gave my opinion that yes, this clearly was an attempt at violently overthrowing democracy, and Trump's role in these shameful and dangerous events has discredited him and effectively ends his political career.
What I am disagreeing with is this notion that yesterday's events are totally unique and completely without any precedent.

So in other words you're trying to include all liberals as one group and strategically exclude the ones that are inconvenient. Got it.
Ezra Klein applied a generalization of the blame for yesterday's events to Republicans and conservative media in his twitter thread that IceMage posted and praised.
I'm just applying the same kind of generalization of the blame for violent events to Democrats and liberal media. Not more, not less.
