It's terrible what happened at the capitol. You have to understand, though, that the few-hundred radicals that stormed the capitol do not represent conservatives in general.

Nor do I claim it would have, but it would probably have been more widespread. In 2016, people were whining so bad about Trump that some colleges waived their exams. Of trump supporters did the same, they'd be labeled "hateful" or "white supremacists." Don't get me wrong, thoug, all looting and rioting or not accepting an election is bad.

by definition any violence that occurred had trump won would be more widespread, considering how the vast majority of the trump-side violence occurred in one place, but i doubt it would be more or even the same number of people. libs are more prone to crying than rioting

This summer says you're wrong. Yes, some Trump supporters roited. They were some alt-right psychos. Has it happened again or previously in recent history, or been with a more widespread group of conservatives than Q-anon or such, though?

over 90% of the blm stuff this summer was peaceful protest, and only about a quarter of biden's total vote count went to these protests. i wouldnt say that there has been many organized right wing violence other than charlottesville, but most of what the right does is stochastic, so there isnt anything linking the violence other than the individuals' search history

I know most of it was peaceful, but even many of the riots were supported or encouraged by democratic politicians. As for Charlottesville, that was also alt right, and it was a fight between them and some left wing group. I'm my opinion, anyone involved in the skirmish belongs in prison though. That could help get Qanon and Antifa out of common politics

i dont know if it's true that politicians condoned the rioting, ill give you people who arent politicians making the argument that riots shouldnt be condemned without fixing the issues that caused them, like mlk jr would say, maybe politicians who agreed with the overall movement quoted mlk too (?), but i dont remember politicians actually saying rioting was fine. charlottesville was an alt-right event that had counter protesters, the police organization for the event was botched so violence was almost inevitable. if i recall correctly it was the right wing that started the fight, not the counter protesters. i agree with that getting away from violence in politics would be good, i think antifa should abandon black bloc and stick to mutual aid and wearing normal clothes to protests.

Look up Maxine Waters "I don't know why there arent more uprisings in the street" or something like that. I remember there was something AOC said but I can't remember. To be fair, though, AOC isn't real popular with establishment Democrats. As for Charlottesville, again, that was that Alt right giving us a bad name. Anyway, nice talk. It's been a good break from the normal screaming on this stream :)

that statement doesnt really imply that violence is good, more that there are problems in this country that seem like they would logically lead to people rioting. more of an acknowledgement of people getting tired than a condoning of the reaction. it has been nice talking to you :D
