I for one will proudly celebrate the imprisonment of the January 6 rioters. It makes me smile that that so many racist, bigoted, awful families were destroyed.

I don't know if I'd call what they were trying to do in installing Trump as dictator amounts to trying to overthrow the US government.

I think I'll continue my new tradition of visiting an art museum on J6. I'd much rather be reminded of the people who create beautiful things in the world, and not those who wish to destroy things.

Plenty of artists, writers, etc were horrible people. Racist, sexist, you name it.

Also, many museums are full of stolen artifacts and art.

Or does your aversion to racism and bigotry only extend to reality tv stars?

Also love the idea that Trump is uniquely a dictator as the dude currently in office as arming and funding a a gencocide that is, unprecedented for America, actually massively unpopular (even within his own administration!)

For whatever it’s worth, not all the families that were torn apart were themselves all racist bigots. It only takes one in a family to tear it apart. Believe me. It’s how I lost mine. The pain has been unbearable.

(Edit- we had a qanon casualty, not a rioter, but they managed to get similar results)

And that’s only the surface of Biden’s authoritarian bullshit. He is Trump’s equal in so many ways.

What the billionaire funded Democratic Party machine did to keep sanders from winning the nomination 2 elections in a row was 99999999999 times more of an affront to a theoretical democracy than a few hundred idiots milling around aimlessly and taking pictures inside of the offices of the worlds biggest insider trading cartel

Oh, so I don't have the choice of which museum to visit now? **** off with this lame attempt at whataboutism.

A few hundred? 900 people are serving close to 900 years in prison for crimes related to the insurrection. You're not wrong about Bernie getting completely shafted and I would never defend that. But man, you just love to make **** up and then downplay and minimize actually verifiable data. Wonder why that is. Can't make your point with facts alone?

I feel you, absolutely true. I tend to generalize a bit too much from time to time. I'm sorry to hear this. Similar thing happened with my family. It's essentially two families now, and the older members still don't understand what they never hear from me anymore.

Right, better to just subvert the entire thing and kill police officers when your team doesn't win. At least you are a consistent clown show..

Crazy how often people incorrectly use the term whataboutism. It’s the canned response to any criticism of something or someone you like. That’s not what whataboutism is?

Also you can choose to do whatever you want. I just found your highroading about museums pretty silly

Our older members are all dying now from heart complications that are likely Covid related because they’re all anti-vax and have had multiple reinfections. Oh, and they are deeply suspicious of the medical teams that continue to save their lives. Really great stuff all around.

Anyway, I didn’t mean to nitpick you. I know what you meant, it just makes me so sad these days.
