January 6, Never Forget.

After the Civil War, men who'd joined in the secession lost their franchise and other civil rights for a while: it is an established penalty for trying to overthrow the government (and, yes, violently attacking the center of government in order to undo the results of our democratic election is an attempted overthrow, not merely a "protest").

Personally, I'm in favor of some sort of Truth and Reconciliation process. It would be nice if we could all talk civilly again, say by the time that we can have Thanksgiving dinners with large groups again.

I hear you, but has history has now proved, some people just can not be reconciled with. Long prison terms or kicked out of the country would be recommendation to the court.

Don't compare President Biden to President Lincoln

One thing you messed up on is Abraham Lincoln didn't take citizen ship away.
Fun Fact: Abraham Lincoln was one of the most loved presidents
Fun Fact: Abe did something Joe Biden Could never think of/ Freeing slaves/ it's not like joe biden care about black people anyway P:S and Yes democrats are still racist. They just switch up there tactics of racism on blacks and use them for votes. And thank you for showing me every thing he done on the first day
Which was nothing for BLM.

Yes dems are racist thats why they have 1 black president and now one black female vp.... you are a f**king idiot.

"your are a f**king idiot" Why say that about your self? cause your the f**king idiot for being deceived. Plus this post shows you inherit racism There is more races to be racist to you f**king idiot.

Didn't the dems get mad at Trump for not giving rights to illegal immigrants and for trying to secure the border? But now all of a sudden Biden can take away anyone's rights for what exactly? Protesting?

again you idiots just dont get it, Biden won, and trying to overthrow the elected government by attacking the capitol is treason. period.

Again with the belittling? I tried to have a civilized discussion, but I guess that's just too much to ask on this site. How can you defend rioters burning down stores and destroying police stations, but call Capitol Hill treason, and suggest that they lose their citizenship?

You get belittled because you say stupid things. If you cant see the difference between some bad apples amongst MILLIONS of people in HUNDREDS of cities day after day protesting police brutality that atttack some insured private businesses... and straight up treason attack on OUR capitol... well prepare for more insults, because its pretty obvious to all the difference except for the moron trumpnuts.

I agree that the difference is obvious, but calling people idiots and morons does nothing to change their minds: it tends to add to their radicalizations.

RichardChill24: If any significant portion of the BLM protests had been violent, this would be a valid argument, but this:

If you think BLM is only violent pyros, you are the victim of the right wing media.

I learned it from their leader. If they dont want to be called idiots and morons, then they need to stop spouting idiotic nonsense and doing moronic things.

Why do both sides blame the media for what they think? Can they not see what happened in Seattle? Both sides have radicals, and always will, but one side is being praised for being "progressive" and the other would have no rights if it were up to Manhattan

Do you think that the British thought that George Washington and the Founding Fathers were committing treason? Do you think the South though that John Brown was a terrorist, while the North saw him as a freedom fighter? It's all perspective

Do you think that the British thought that George Washington and the Founding Fathers were committing treason? ""

They were committing treason, and lucky for them (and maybe maybe not us) they won, or they would have hung.

Fighting against slavery is the very definition of "freedom fighter" .... you want me to stop calling you names like moron and stupid? You are off to a bad start.

Did I say that? Your ability to read between the lines is amazing to me

You missed the point huh? Let me spell it out for you, the North thought Brown was helping the country for almost causing a rebellion against slavery, but the South thought that he was a terrorist and were afraid that more would come and try to take their slaves. Again, it’s all perspective

So if I have life insurance, people can attempt to kill me? And it's not just a few apples, at least enough to break away from the US and form an autonomous zone. And let me ask you a little question, was the 1983 bombing of Senate treason? Did they get their rights revoked? If you use insults to win arguments, you lost the argument

Life insurance? you are a special kind of stupid, yes because a life of either the one shot in the capitol (as they all should have been, its why cops carry guns) or the cops defending it has the same value as the used tires in the tire shop.... wtf is wrong with you?

and yes the senate bombing was treason and if they lost their citizenship, it would not bother me one bit.

But they didn’t, did they? The communists didn’t receive any repercussions

they went to prison moron

Big man with big talk, what do you think that changes? Not a whole lot, it’s surprising, I know

Nothing 'changes' its history. Its in writing and in the past... despite that you still say something stupid like "The communists didn’t receive any repercussions".... whats next? Trump won in a landslide and the election was rigged?

I meant your pathetic insults, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that they’re your main arguing tool

You cant even see the fleecing right in front of all our eyes. Why dont you look into who got the "wall" money? Mexico send a check yet did they?
