  • So telling a bunch of red necks with rifles to peacefully protest his election loss is a totally sound judgement?

    This kind of thing plays out very two dimensionally in like high school

    • They have just as much right to protest as anyone else.

      • But do they have the right to storm the Capitol?

        I thought the same thing back when buildings were burned, you remember that night too right?

        • No, they DON'T have the right to storm the White House, and I certainly don't support that. I also don't think anyone ever has the right to burn down buildings, loot and riot either.

          The kind of people who stormed the White as well as the kind of people who set buildings on fire, and loot are all the garbage... human garbage! I don't care about those people, and their damn feelings about the government, or whatever.

          I think protesting is one thing, and rioting is something entirely different.

          • And fake riots are something else altogether.

            I can't believe more people aren't asking why these people weren't shot. This was probably the fakest psyop I've ever seen in my life.

            • That one woman who was an Airforce veteran was shot. I dunno, it wouldn't break my heart if those Antifa people were getting shot.

              • One woman was shot in a mob storming a federal building in washington.

                The official account is these people occupied the building for between 3 and a half and 6 hours, and somehow all left without tanks rolling up.

                There's absolutely no way it would be that easy to storm a DC building, occupy it for hours, and then leave having accomplished absolutely nothing. The media is trying to see how dumb of a story people will believe, and its working.

                It was the most obvious fake psyop event in history.

    • Ah, so not only is your side the only side allowed to riot but yours is also the only side that's allowed to call for protests?

      • Thats rich if I recalled correctly you people got angry when that mixes football guy protested peacefully. You conservatives are all over the place with your logic and its insane to me that you act like the left is like that. Yeah the left can be retarded at times but its the right that has gone full retard. Trump lost and yall are acting worse then the crybaby clinton supporters in 2016 with their cringe vagina hats.

        • And? Where the holy fuck is it written that just because I believe in your right to protest that I can't think what your protest is about is bullshit? Believe it or not, I can disagree with what you're doing while still thinking you have the right to do it, it's called being an adult, a foreign concept to many I'm being reminded day by day.

          "It's the right that's gone full retard."
          I ain't going to pretend the right doesn't have their moments but nothing will top the fact that the left has stood infront of buildings being burned down and called it peaceful. The fuck outta here with that shit, bro.

          • Right, but did you just think it was a bullshit thing to protest about (also wow how shitty to think) or did you think he should lose his job?

            Also stop treating the right and left as entirely collective entities. I don't think there's anything peaceful about burning buildings just like how some Republicans aren't trying to pretend they don't know damned well that Trump incited that attack.

          • Just be quite I think American right and left leaning people are equally retarded. Both sides will be the death of america at the rate things are going.

            • Nah. Actually the left quite factually have higher IQs in average. This has been repeatedly confirmed and known for decades.

              • Oh? Where do you get that information from? Secondly, if you're using IQ as a means to establish dominance then you are unironically in belief by that same train of logic that black people aren't as smart as white people as white people on average have higher IQs than black people.

                Put that awesome IQ to use and get outta that one, racist.

        • I start putting in crazy hours at work and I can feel the mental fatigue more so than the physical

          How long have McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, and whoever the Republican House leader is held their positions? McConnell and Pelosi both look aged, I read this might be Pelosi's last term as speaker.

          We might need some fresher blood in the game

      • I'm a registered independent

        People are allowed to protest, not riot

        The videos and articles I saw all showed people breaking down doors and destroying government buildings because they think they can just tell McConnell and Pelosi to keep Trump in office, or to enact some revenge on Trump's behalf for... for what, him not winning?

        There's ignorance everywhere, Republican, Democrat, whatever. If you can't talk your point out logically and feel like you need to break down doors and force police to open fire, then your opinion is probably worthless no matter what you're fighting for

        We don't have dictatorship, we don't have communism. Maybe there's control that goes beyond the obvious, but we still live in a society that would respond to logic

        Trump should show proof of fraud before claiming it, he didn't but we still entertained him, but that entertainment gave way to people seizing the capital because they think there's fraud when really the only reason people think there's fraud is because trump baselessly claimed it, and after that he told people to protest

        Maybe it's because I'm so learned in psychology I can see how trump telling his supporters to protest would have or could have led to the events that played out, maybe I invest too much in stereotyping and generalities, maybe I'm cynical, but either way we can agree that what happened was amoral, right? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff democrats have done we can agree was also amoral. But how do we improve? Assigning blame, or recognizing what could have been better?

        • I'm not saying it's the right call or the wrong one but if the Democrats prevented an audit every single time when there was evidence of irregularities, if not outright fraud, then what is left for the people to do if any and all attempts to validate the vote through ideas and conversation isn't even being taken seriously? If we're going to play the blame game then the blame goes on the people that ensured the vote wasn't accounted for when requested.

          I've not come to a conclusion yet. Looking at their happy faces like they achieved something by merely breaking in has started to piss me off since they achieved nothing but a field day out but I'm not going to pretend that the blame starts with them.

          • I'm sure I've read articles where Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader of the Senate, has also prevented recounts or whatever

            What Trump is trying to do is get states to claim fraud as well and possibly have election results tampered with so when there is that recount or whatever it'll say he won

            Does he not seem like a man who would buy his way into office? He did last election, there were ads everywhere saying Hillary already lost hours before the election was over. Can you see how that would dissuade voting for Hillary?

            McConnell even said there needs to be a change, we have elections where "only the winners accept the results"

            Yes, both sides have done bad things, but how do we proceed now that we know that? Replace everyone? Start a new government? Kill the ones we can prove are guilty? Engage in flame wars? These don't seem like real answers to me.

            Society should be aware of injustices and use all the information when deciding who to vote for, be it senators, representatives, presidents, local officials. Smarter people will vote smarter, smarter people will take office, slowly but surely the injustices cease.

            To pull from The Office, if we had less Dwights and more Jims, we wouldn't have as many Michaels in power

            • Then fuck him too, I don't care who the fuck is doin' it but fuck 'em if they are.

              He's not trying to claim fraud to trample on the results, he's claiming fraud as he believes the results have already been tampered with. Wait, so you're telling me that if they were to be audited and it was made sure that the votes were legitimate such as votes from addresses that don't exist being cancelled, or how votes for Trump somehow transferred over to Biden that Trump would win? That's your reasons for not making it legitimate? Fuck the fuckidy fuck off, bro. "Don't ensure the votes are genuine because then Trump will win by cheating!". Unreal. I'm honestly stunned.

              Are you seriously telling me that out of Biden and Trump that it's TRUMP that seems like the type to buy himself in? Are you shitting me? Trump holds a rally and people are on eachother's shoulders because there's not enough seats, meanwhile Biden could hold one single fuckin' full rally to the point he had to stop rallying because nobody turned up and yet he somehow got more votes than Obama? Are you shitting me, bruh? In what fuckin' world?

      • The riots you're referring to regarded whether or not the very lives of black people mattered or not. Yours are over the most unpopular president of modern history losing an election fair and square.

          • Please share.
            I've watched hours of news footage and the only firearms I've seen were held by police. If there were any I'm sure it was only a handful among the thousands of people.

            • Just look it up. Not only were plenty armed but 6 different people turned out to be illegally armed at that. By far the worst was that two pipe bombs were placed. Luckily they were discovered and disarmed before they could kill anyone though.

              It was far more than a handful, but yes, obviously the outright
              majority wasn't carrying.

              • I'll take your word for it. There were 6 people illegally armed and 2 pipe bombs. One shot fired by police at an unarmed woman.

                - Just Googled images "Armed DC Rioters 2021". Only firearm carrying individuals pictured were from previous protests in Utah & Michigan. I don't know where you're getting your info?
