Democrats be like:

Tell that to the OP. He's the one that posted this referring to the Capitol Hill riots. I offered him insight to gain perspective. I'm not saying that his metaphor is entirely wise

Psst. I know it is, but evidently SukaMadik doesn't.

lol.

You should post this to my politicAwwwww stream.

little republic*

You mean the Democratic Party and the entire world has had to deal with and clean up after your whiny little dipsh*t of a president and now we get the opportunity to change it back and make it better?

Trump is the worst. I understand that there were worse people like hitler and Stalin but president wise Trump is the worst. He ruined our economy he ignored COVID-19 and he told riled up radical rightists to storm capital hill. If you can think of a president worse than him then I’ll gladly admit it.

“God emperor Trump the second coming of Jesus” none of that made sense? Also who is that? He’s f*cking ugly

The storming of the Capital was the result of people losing faith in a system that is supposed to represent them. I don’t like what they did but I think we should expect more.

It DOES represent them. Attempting a coup because you didn't get what you wanted is more than just people losing faith in the system. The whole thing was terrorism.

I agree with that completely. So with that being said, so were the BLM and Antifa riots.

the rioters just used the movement as an excuse to riot, they weren't actually part of the movement.

I’m sure that is true of all rioters.

That might’ve carried more weight if Trump’s movement wasn’t to specifically throw out the constitution so that he could remain President.

I get that but extremists of all colors tend to do the same thing. They are all wackos who aren’t doing any good.

Not all protestors are extremists.

Rioters are extremists because they use force to try to get people to think the way they do. Peaceful protesters are nothing like that.

I have to agree with music man (dude, you couldn't come up with a longer username?). The system does not represent the people anymore, and the Capitol has become an Ivory Tower. I am not defending the morons who stormed it.

And I think you give them too much credit: this wasn't a coup attempt. CHOP was more of a coup. If this had been a coup, there would have been a plan and more people would have died. This was the impulsive act of a mob.

It's more of their white privilege that prevented them from having more deaths than it seeming less like a coup.

I disagree. They had no real plan beyond some vague idea of taking "action." In a real coup attempt, there would have been more shots fired on both sides, and the protesters would have attempted to hold the Capitol and those inside. This was less an attempt to topple the government than an attempt to bend it to their will. "White privilege" had nothing to do with it.

Yeah once they got in it was as if they had no idea of what to do or where to go. Hell they even followed the roped off areas so kind of hard to say it was a coup when there was nothing to coup. I mean it is not like that building holds all the secrets to alien tech or anything.

I said the same thing about the BLM riots.

I say the same about every riot.

Did anything change?

Insofar as?

Not my riot. Did they see a change in policing?

Actually, yes.

There appears to be more accountability but nothing close to the change they asked for.

Do you think there will be more accountability for this? Pretty sure it’ll just be an increase of security in the capitol building.

Maybe more legislation to make voters more verifiable, but I’d wager they were going to get that without storming the Capitol.

You can’t increase something that was authorized to be disbanded for that event. Not sure what change BLM wants. The message seems more about theft & terror than a list of solutions.

BLM wants police accountability in regards to unarmed civilians being killed by cops.

Prosecutors are prosecuting. Murder cases take a couple years to complete. Vigilante justice wants death immediately without a full investigation. Police training can improve but the liberal leaders in these areas where victims are murdered do not support proper police tactics & budgets.

You mean unarmed black civilians killed by cops.

Which happens literally happens in a rate of 1 to 2.3 Comparitively to white folks. Thats right - more white people die by police officer than black people.

That's just raw numbers. When you account for population density & how many crimes that typically warrant a weapon being pulled on a person -- its actually more like 1 to 5.

Black people commit more violent crimes than whites while only making up 15% of the population. Which means that police ALREADY take extraordinary measures NOT to shoot black people.

Black population is about 1/3 of white population in the US, but they commit over 40% of these types of crimes.

Less population + more percentages of the crimes + getting shot by cops at a rate of 50% that white people do - means the police take CARE already to not shoot black people.

Sorry BLM and any BLM Supporters - you're driving a false narrative. Statistics don't lie. Stop placing criminals on pedistals & acting like you don't already get special treatment.

If they’re criminals and unarmed, then surely there are ways to arrest them without resulting in their death.

I do not agree with BLM, but I’m also not going to distort their purpose. Just because I refuse to lie and say things like, “I don’t know what they really want,” doesn’t mean I support them.

In every one of these situstions - officers provided instruction, criminals resisted arrest.

Hell brianna Taylor? She was cohorting with a known criminal & the people in the house SHOT FIRST.

George Floyd? He was high on Meth amphetamine & continually resisted arrest. His can't breathe was due to his body giving up on living from the vast amounts of drugs he pumped into his system. Then that issue was heightened by the physical brawl it took to subdue him & the complication of a shitty police officer.

I'm not saying he didn't die wrongfully - but he sure as heck wasn't doing much to live and contribute to society.

You can't place criminals on pedistals - while claiming police are targeting black people - when the FACTS don't support your argument.

If white people took to the street because a criminal was shot by a cop - the entire lot of protesters would be labeled Racist - just like the MAGA people that didn't do anything wrong during Jan 6th.

herp derp Right back, atcha skippy🤪 derp

What I don't get is how they spend they're entire lives saying "Don't Tread on Me" and "From my cold dead hand", and when they day finally comes, they deny it and blame it on the left. Bunch of pussies.

Well, lighting fires and then blaming commies does have a long and storied tradition with fascists after all

Quit making excuses.

When you are fed up you don’t storm the capitol
