That seems to be a hallmark of modern day conservatism: they think that the rest of us are as gullible as they are, and are shocked when they find out that's not the case.

Start vid at 10:41. If this attempted coup is not taken down by the Dems during hearings, our democracy is OVER.
I couldn't believe some of the shit I was seeing and remembering that GOP legislators were DEFENDING these domestic terrorists as heroes.
There's something perversely weird about Trump that people need to acknowledge. He has a bizarre magnetism and charisma that sucks in many deranged and seemingly normal American citizens.
'Trump had thousands of Americans willing to DIE for him during this siege, even though he'd never offer them a dime if he saw them laying in the street.
We're in a fucked up place right now. But if Trump was in his 40s/50s, I really think he would be capable of overthrowing our democracy.
Too many people don't pay attention to idiots like Trump until it's too late.

A failed coup that goes unpunished is a practice run.

Imagine if these bozos were armed. They will be next time.

Anybody who actually believes 1/6 was a legit attempted coup or insurrection is NOT a serious person. It was just a riot, that's it.
None of the rioters was armed, the only person who was actually killed (not died from other causes) was 1 of the rioters, & pay attention to what folks who entered the capital are actually being charged with. They're being charged with minor offenses like "misdemeanor trespassing" & the like, not serious charges like "Sedition" or "Terrorism" the media's been gaslighting the public about for months now.

Call them rioters if you like. Hillary Clinton called them a basket of deplorables however that term was way off the mark even for her.
I'd just as well call them a bunch of inbred sanctimonious hooligans and thugs who were throwing a temper tantrum at the behest of their benevolent leader who had recently just lost an election.
It was sedition. It was treasonous. It was criminal. It was confederate behavior at it's highest level.
I find it utterly loathsome how those on the right are looking for ways to label those insurrectionists as political prisoners.

C'mon man you know that sedition and terrorism charges would take years and a ton of money and resources to prosecute. The charges handed down are for slamdunk convictions, every DA and/or US Attorney office in this country plays the "lesser charge, better chance of conviction" game.
Sure, it was a ramshackle nitwit convention, but that doesn't mean they weren't dangerous. WW1 started by a dimwitted assassin being at the wrong place at the right time. What do you think those guys would have done if they actually caught up with Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence?

Are you kidding? The crowd listens to a pep talk from their master, then promptly marches down to The Capitol, beat the crap out of some police officers and break into the building/select offices knowing fully well what important procedure was taking place, but it's "just a riot"? Wow! I realize their master's stooges in congress (and other public offices) made up all sorts of ridiculous reasoning seeing as they all lack backbones and not allowed to ever contradict their master, but realistic people are well aware that it was no love fest and so on.
What's interesting is that many were dumb enough to have been looking for Pence. Quite dumb (or suicidal) seeing as he'd be surrounded by the USSS who would've lit them up had they managed to get close.

Fuck being 'armed'. When 20 people are beating the shit out of you with hundreds of people behind them, that's felony assault.
Those domestic terrorists aren't being charged more harshly because they are White. If they had been Black or Brown, those Capitol police officers would have drawn their guns and fired. Over and over again.

They were literally chanting "Hang Mike Pence" before they stormed the capitol.
Even you don't believe what you just wrote.

And then they fully expected to what, get back on the planes and fly back home like nothing happened? Because Trump absolutely would not have pardoned anyone who had been involved if Mike Pence had gotten hurt. Like so many other people, he would have absolutely left any and all of them out to dry, and wouldn't even think twice about doing it.

Exactly! That's and a helluva a lot of priviledge. Of course they deny that it exists.

I would love to know the distinction between "a riot that took place in the American capital building as our leaders were in the process of confirming a new President, perpetrated exclusively by supporters of the losing candidate" and an "insurrection."
I mean, I'm not saying that distinction could not exist. But goodness, that is an extremely fine hair to split.
"Well, technically officer, I didn't kill my husband. I pushed him, and then he happened to fall down a flight of stairs and die."

"Technically this isn't a coup," the Trump voter said smugly as he was led away in chains along with everyone else. "The jails they are taking us to are private prisons, not military ones. It has to be the military for it to be a coup."

And this mentality is exactly why it will happen again, if we let this one go unpunished. These people still think the election was stolen, they still believe the lies that Trump is telling, and they still have zero respect for the electoral process if their guy didn't win.
