They planted bombs in the capital dude. Yeah, I'd call that an event worth getting dramatic over.

I truly wish this weren't so... but it is. It's time for everyone in polite society to recognize it.

Guess it makes sense. They don't value democracy in Russia so why would he value it here? Gotta teach them young

Are you talking about the one guy who made two pipe bombs that didn't detonate? Who still hasn't been found or motives identified?

You guys are on the same wavelength as the retards that stormed these buildings thinking anything would change if they just showed up as a huge mob waving flags. Idk as a realist, I understand that these people were not going to accomplish a single thing and only look like idiots. Most people could see this laughable outcome but you guys are trembling and pointing to this as some great monumental event. Like lol, do you really think our country is this weak that a bunch of people going inside a building then slowly leaving will threaten our democracy?

FTFY.

Try looking at more than one thing at once. The issue is they're still pushing the fraud narrative. There's still people out there who buy it. We will have more incidents like this if Republicans don't start respecting democracy again.

How far apart do you think the people who minimize/defend the insurrection now are from those who would've minimized/defended a successful insurrection(representatives dead, process delayed indefinitely)?

IMO, not that far apart. I don't want to get too dramatic here... sure, there are those who would object. But it's the same objective, and the people in the way have been dehumanized by all of them(journalists, liberals, progressives, etc).

It's about maintaining an image of not giving up. Trump won't ever admit defeat, this keeps his base energized. Who cares about a few millions that are being wasted to 'keep on the fight'. A grieved electorate is an electorate that will show up, 2020 showed us that with how many people went to the ballot box just because they thought Trump was the next Mussolini. It's a useful narrative.

If you seriously think any of these legal challenges will amount to anything even remotely serious I would put my life savings on taking the other side of that bet.



You should stop watering down the meaning of words by using them so liberally. Insurrection is a very serious word if you look at history. You using this word here just makes you look like an idiot considering the event we're talking about ended with basically a bunch of dumbasses leaving and going home.

This is someone who would go along with Trump overthrowing the election without thinking twice.

I can’t believe the capital riot is the same to you as a few freedoms TV’s??? No wonder trump keeps his base in tow.

Trump asking for recounts or an audit = overthrowing the election.

Again, nonsensical dramatic characterization.
