The vast majority of Republican senators want to sweep this incident under the rug and pretend Trump's actions weren't the reason it happened.

Trump is no longer president... he doesn't even have access to Twitter. Yet they persist in their devotion to the cult.

The right-wing radicalization has steadily risen during the Trump years, and the trend continues. In my opinion, it's one of the most significant problems we'll face in the coming years. And even somewhat reasonable right-wingers(including those on this forum) don't take it seriously.


Yeah if only people inciting violence were held accountable.....

For certain Maxine Waters needs to be tossed out. She is clearly inciting situations in which violence is likely to occur.

Democrats have created a self fulfilling prophecy with that rhetoric, and they are not ready for the shitstorm they have summoned.

they seemed pretty ready. capitol gets quasi-occupied for all of 15 minutes and now everyone forgot that it was their (the (D)s) rhetoric in the first place.

and thus we had a virtual inauguration with a US Military unit, which was nearly half the size of the our forces that landed at Normandy beach, standing guard in the capital of our nation

McConnell was very clear in condemning the attack.


McConnell and others enabled Trump by not speaking out forcefully against his "stolen election" narrative. They didn't seem to mind when the president and his allies pushed state legislatures to overturn the will of the people, or when he leaned on the Georgian SoS to find him votes.

Now, they want to pretend the incident should just be forgotten, and the president doesn't need to be held accountable for his actions. The extremists who stormed the Capitol will face consequences, but the president who egged them on and then failed to adequately respond while it was happening is on the path to acquittal. He can run again in 4 years after all of this madness.

When only one side of the aisle is outraged by what happened, and only one side wants accountability(absent a handful of Republicans like Romney and Cheney), it's reasonable to conclude that the right-wing has a serious extremist problem.

Out of context statements on an unrelated issue are not relevant. You can either dispute my arguments or not... whataboutism is not a valid argument.
