Exactly. You'd think a conviction + serving a jail sentence would be a badge of honor for these seditionists.

If these people start trouble again they should be put down hard and fast.

Jan. 6 rally organizers had been on Trump campaign payroll, documents show.

There are about to be a lot of Karens that would like to speak to the warden.

Bullhorn Lady def seems to be Boebert's Mom, and that doesn't bode well for either of them.

Yeah.

I never watched this boy but,

Not for orderly transition or power and
Not for private property

Does that mean anarchist ?

I'm still trying to figure out what motivates people with solid middle class prospects to risk it all to change a system that's benefited them greatly.

How butt hurt do these entitled little schmucks need to be to literally expose themselves to federal crimes ?

LOL

Trump

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

True.

And US history speaks to this.

At almost every stage of Black people gaining steps towards full equality in US history there has been a backlash and uprising to try and set them back. Masses of mostly white people rising up to try and deny the progress or the rights gained.

In the past most of the lawlessness was set upon the black people and their institutions directly but this issue that has republicans angered of 'we are losing our power to control elections both legally with voting power and unscrupulously with things like gerrymandering and voter suppression' is not as easy to target directly at the blacks, so instead they are going after the seat of government to tell them, and threaten them, and say if you do not MAGA, so that we get the power imbalance back, like we did when we considered America great, then we will destroy this House and destroy democracy in America.

This is ultimately a last ditch lashing out at the loss of power they feel.

What is scary is that these folks are not all 40 year olds living in their grandmas basement. Many are law enforcement, teachers, military folks. The fact they could be tricked into believing Trump is baffling .

The massive increase in BLM prevalence this summer, in conjunction with the great leveling brought on by the pandemic, and in conjunction with and culminating in Trump’s defeat based on pandemic-era voting which broadened the franchise to many previously foreclosed minorities, the conservatives must feel as if they’re being jammed into equality on an expedited timeline.

The bottom 5% of a class... law enforcement, teachers, etc, is still the bottom 5%.

I always jokingly asked my doctor in what percentile did he graduate... I'm still alive.

Nails it perfectly.

This is absolutely incredible on many levels.

Are you suggesting that the capitol riots were mostly about income inequality or underemployment?

Because that seems like just as much of a misdiagnosis as saying the riots were mostly about race.

Guess Pokerstars has some work to do to make their celebration videos they email to people a little more impressive.

I assume you have seen the recent footage of the one dude inside (quasi military guy) barking out instructions on how it is an intelligence operation as the Qdonk with the buffalo hat howls at the moon above him in the rafters. Whole lot of interesting videos will be created out of this situation, and that does show the dramatic progression of technology in the past couple of decades.

The overwhelming majority (~100%) of trump voters weren't on the riot.

We have to address how we get to a situation where trump can get 70m votes (and brexit in the uk etc etc). Many reasons but the failures of more reasonable politics is well up there.

Half the population has an IQ less than 100.

the absolute biggest Trump diehard that I'm personally aware of is a long term Grateful Dead fanatic, used to have dreadlocks (Caucasian), drives a 40 year old 70HP diesel running on vegetable oil

pretty sure that Alex Jones got his hooks into him, and that was that

The % that supported the riots is much greater than ~0%.

And sure, we need to address how we got to a point where someone like Trump received 70 million votes. But I was responding to a post that was specifically about the riot. That's why my question was specific to the riot.
