Funny how the word 'riot' does not appear in the pic in the OP, yet here we are with this thread.

Thor hit the nail on the head.


Yeah the first one calling for "unrest" is the only one that can even be kind of argued to condone rioting, but most people would say that a protest is "unrest in the streets" so even that's a stretch.

Why is it okay to play the whataboutism game to avoid calling out your own side's behavior?

Republicans universally condemned Trump for inciting a riot, although if prosecutors are to be believed, Trump did not incite, and this was instead a planned event.

Democrats refuse to condemn Democratic politicians for inciting violence.

McCarthy made clear to Democrats that he could deliver the entirety / almost the entirety of the Republican House to publicly censure Trump for his role in the riot.

Democrats didn't want a bipartisan condemnation, because they preferred to move ahead with an impeachment vote that will tie up Biden's first few months in office.

I highly doubt he could get almost the entirety of House Republicans to vote for a censure.

Democrats responded proportionally to the action. It's not their fault if Republicans are part of a death cult.

My view is Dem control of senate + an impeachment trial will go more smoothly than Republican control of senate w/o an impeachment trial. And why would it take 3 months? It should go quickly.

Trump said to protest peacefully. Then the morons in the media twisted his words because they're hypocrites that went full retard a long time ago.

Dishonest discourse is dishonest.

Police brutality is a real problem, Donald Trump losing an election by seven million votes isn't a real problem.

The right is at a point where I would not be surprised to see go fund me pages for school shooters legal defenses.


Police brutality is only part of it. Economic inequality is another huge issue that's very motivating for some people to go protest. Apparently this was touched on in Biden's new economic proposal where he said nobody working 40 hours a week should be impoverished.

It makes me wonder where that manner of thinking is headed, policy-wise, and what kind of push back the opposite side will wage, because as we saw with the Trump riots it won't be pretty.

He said "protest peacefully" when he realized that that's what he needed to do in order to keep his Twitter account. This was way after the protests had already begun.

Spoiler alert: he was banned anyway.
