Has there been ANYONE of note cheerleading the Capitol rioters? At least when it comes to PaRD, I dont think I've seen anyone who wasnt appalled by these events - the difference is only in the conclusions we draw from them.

just some johnny come latelys. id say every regular who isnt a virulent anti-Trumper or is partial in some way to President Trump has definitely condemned or does not support the attempt to occupy the capitol.

so we have 3 distinct groups:

ones who condemn all rioting/violence/etc no matter who started it (only a handful of posters here and very few politicians) <— This is the correct stance
ones who only condemn the attempt to occupy the capitol (most users here, most lefty/rino/democrat politicians, most of the media, most tech giants)
ones who only condemned the riots from 2017-present (mostly “republican” politicians and “conservative” media)

oh and i wont tire from referencing this, not that it justifies any sort of behavior we’ve seen

As long as a talk radio host isnt instigating violence or illegal behavior, I dont see how the government could even intervene. Saying stuff like "Obama is a Kenyan muslim and not a legitimate president" or stuff like that doesnt clear the bar.


They don't need an excuse anymore. The government will just find someone they don't like and associate them with the protest this week. They won't need directly violent language anymore. Free speech no longer exists.

I'm referring to right wing media in general. It's become more unhinged over the years and the listeners LIKE it. I'd prefer if government didn't get involved but we're running out of solutions here.


Youre honestly just a tyrant.

Look what your ideas did to California.

How am I a tyrant when I just advocated NOT using government...I'm advocating that people chill the fuck out. Also I don't vote Democrat very often in CA.

not direct cheerleading, but when it comes to constantly engaging in ridiculously flawed whataboutisms concerning BLM and antifa protests, pretty much all of trumpist pard - including yourself ofc. it's a difference, i do acknowledge that. i don't think anyone outright condoned their behaviour officially here, but the constant downplaying and false equivalences are not too far from it tbh.

the whole "i condemn ALL violence" reaction to this coup attempt is very much like the 'all lives matter' thing, or trumps 'both sides' comments. not really very subtle. everyone knows where those people are coming from.

I agree with that.

Last week Senate Democrats met with Twitter executives though. What they did was very obvious.

see post in other thread. Twitter is way tinier than people think. there are barely any people there

we need to stop talking about twitter altogether IMO because it will validate reality - twitter is unimportant

(furthermore - if Trump puts out a message on some other platform - the MSM will report it immediately and verbatim to hundreds of millions across the globe)

Trump said something that wasn't violent. Maybe controversial?

Then twitter banned him and said he was violent.

We no longer live in a free speech Republic.

like i said if he puts out a post somewhere else - the MSM will parrot it throughout the know universe

Twitter is extremely fake and gay and has barely any users

It's market share and stock prices are gonna dive tomorrow and then nobody will care anymore

Twitter was the source of 80% of his reach.

Now he has no reach and the news can lie about whatever he says.
