I agree! Please don’t burn down those stores or riot if you’re gonna protest :) don’t harass anything, and don’t burn down house (my cousins house got burnt down by people holding BLM signs and wearing shirts like that :) really sad :( but anyways I agree and imma give u an upvote!

I usually am more leniant toward the left, but I do not agree with what they did to your cousin. I don't agree with burning buildings and violence, because that just makes you look worse. I don't get why some of the protesters decided committing crimes was a good idea to get their message across.

My cousin lost everything from the BLM riots, I feel really bad for her. Lost her toddler, house, and stuff that was in her house. She’s staying with her husbands parents but it’s still sad

yes! the attack on the capitol today was completely unacceptable.

"Just do not hurt people or property..."

i hope you don't mind a bunch of terrorists entering a governmental building because their leader incited it

"We never riot"
"Law and order"
"Dems are the ones unhinged"

Many narratives seem to have just got destroyed..

This will all probably be whitewashed though. "False flag" conspiracies in 3..... 2......

the conspiracies have already started

george soros & the jews did it

Isn't that from 2017?

Also.. Man I guess Hillary and the Dems ran out of money from paying the anti-trump protestors around the globe in 2016.
:(

yeah, i tried looking for a recent conspiracy meme

I noticed terminator and a few others here have actually latched on to this idea.. I mean on some level antifa are anarchists so I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if a few of them attended.. but many legit Republicans were for sure there. and had been pissed about (alleged) widespread voter fraud for months and were planning this. Some were even talking about or alluding to it on here.. The meme comparing the (at the time) up-coming Jan 6th to independence day 1776 with that ridiculous image of trump brandishing a gun for one.

doesn't surprise me. they'll do anything to clear their oh-so-righteous creed of bad faith. i remember seeing something of them talking about it here, but i thought it'd just be another demonstration, not a full-on riot

I often wonder how many of the alleged "patriots" here are even American.

I mean they went on and on about how Covid is essentially fake news (some still do despite hundreds of thousands of deaths)... and that masks= fascism......... Then they wonder how trump lost to Joe Biden....... Must've been voter fraud.... so they go on and on about voter fraud..... Then the capitol actually gets stormed by an angry mob in an attempt to "stop the steal"....... And they say oh no that was actually antifa...

??¿ Okk

there was this one guy who had the flag of georgia. not the u.s. state, but the eurasian country. either he's from a former soviet state, or he made a really stupid mistake

they really have themselves to blame at this point. the worst can't truly see their mistakes and have to play the game of what-ifs, whatabouts, "they did it"'s, and mental gymnastics to justify everything they've stood for this past year. absolutely to be signs of delusions of grandeur.

Hm... I'm assuming the "five-cross" flag.. (?) interesting. I tried to find something about someone carrying it at a protest here but failed.
:/

Ya.. i've said this many times but it will be interesting to see what happens to the Republican party in Trump's wake...

Did you mind if they attacked a federal building in Portland for a month straight?

yes, though i will say that it's pretty disingenuous to both-sides the event at this point. a red herring from the near-insurrection

Insurrection? Lol, I like how you characterize it that way because it is the right but not the left. It’s the same isn’t it? A mostly peaceful protest protest evolved into a riot and some of them broke into a federal building. There was no attempt to seize power. That’s laughable. If all those present and the whole movement are terrorists then so is BLM and Antifa for committing much more violent acts on federal property and police.

"Lol, I like how you characterize it that way because it is the right but not the left"

ok, and?

"There was no attempt to seize power"

there was an attempt to scare senators during election certification.

Was there? I didn’t see any interaction between senators and protestors

Lol
I know right?? The fact that the senate was there counting/ certifying the electoral votes at the time was coincidence no doubt!!
xP

End result was a massive 3 hour delay. No movement to seize control
Of the government. No insurgent troops deployed or anything else. A few jokers broke into the building calm down harpy. The government survived and was under no real threat at anytime. I’m glad you found your strong conviction for law and order and justifiable police homicide. It was missing the last six months wasn’t it?

Good point...They failed. Jan 6th was not the new July 4th 1776... (As some here seemed to be hoping for). Trump will be getting the boot no matter how severe their case of Biden Derangement Syndrome is. It's been loss after loss for retrumplicans ever since November 3rd. I'm actually getting sick of eating popcorn. Watching so many repub narratives get destroyed in one day was pretty satisfying. If there was any silver lining to this nationally embarrassing attempt at thwarting democracy, that is it.. at least for me.

As far as "justifiable police homicide" I haven't looked into the details about what I'm assuming you're referring to (the woman who was killed) much yet... But I did call for a little compassion concerning their death from someone here on the left who seemed to be taking pleasure in it.

The point is they never tried. Shrieking harpies to the contrary there was no attempt to seize the government thats so disingenuous it’s laughable. The day a real coup happens it won’t come in the form of a mass protest March.

I find it delightful that the lefts narratives have all been overturned and e posed. Suddenly finding a love and desire for law and order after promoting and cheerleading against it all summer. Rejoicing a police shooting after an unarmed protestor is shot. While all year denouncing police and shootings. The blatant hypocrisy is plain for anyone to see. It’s beautiful seeing so many fakers exposed for the hypocrites they are.

They were trying to "stop the steal"... As ridiculous as a goal as that is, they tried and failed at stopping the alleged "steal"... Biden will become president. Pence didn't stop it.. and the rioters also failed to do much of anything except delay. I didn't expect them to overthrow the government. I thought that person here who seemed to think it'd be akin to a new independence day was a joke...which is partially why I responded by turning his ridiculous trump image into a cereal box.

Blatant hypocrisy?? Lol I suppose if you actually believe antifa and looters represented the left at that time of those riots, and that whoever you're claiming found a "new love and desire for law and order" represents it now..... that would seem like a narrative overturned. Seems a little vague compared to the obvious repub "law and order" hypocrisy that was exposed if you ask me but ok.. cool.

it's almost as if they fled the scene, and the certification ended up being delayed couple more hours

Dammit two whole hours?

Absolutely! Regardless of political party, some of the population needs to see this.

Upvote

you made a politically neutral post in a political stream. impossible.

*ahem* trump supporters
