The events of January 6 were a disgrace.  The events around the country during the summer of 2020 were equally disgraceful.

The key difference is that Trump directly incited the events of January 6th, whereas there is no equivelent in Dem leadership who did the same for the George Floyd protests.

And Trump didn't simply fail to concede the results, he actively attempted to overturn them in the months that followed by coordinating with multiple states to submit false slates of electors. Then there's the crime of coercion with the Raffensberger call, multiple instances of obstruction, etc. It's like comparing one driver with a speeding violation to a drunk driver causing a twenty car pile up on the freeway and trying to frame it as both drivers breaking the law.

And following the logic of those claiming Trump brought the shooting on himself, this assassination will be completely justified.  Demons walk among us.

Do you think trump is completely innocent of inciting violence?

What were they there for then? Why did they pick that particular day to storm the Capitol? Was it just a coincidence that it happened to be the same day where congress and the VP were supposed to certify the votes for the election they were told was stolen from them?

Obviously not a coincidence.  They were trying to (and successfully) disrupted the tallying of electoral votes.  A group of moronic aholes?  Yes.  A rebel group trying to overthrow the government?   No.  They clearly didn't have the will and the taste for that.   More like bored losers cosplaying thinking they are something more than they really are, just like those antifa idiots. 

Yeah, we imagined it.  Good Lord.  what is in the water you people are drinking? 

To this day I can distinctly remember watching it and thinking, someone is going to get killed, and they did.  Just because he failed once, how is it irrational of me to think he won't do it again?  Or think about what may happen when he gets re-elected.  Usually a POTUS doesn't affect my life, but this one surely will.  Mark my words

I know, right? Should we take Pence's word for it, or the guy who said he lacked the courage to rig an election for him. Tough call!

I've never been into tattoos, never wanted one but if I were to get one, it wouldn't be of a political figure. If I were to get another person tattooed on my arm, it would most likely be something along the lines of one of these:

I never said it was business as usual.  The way he acted was terrible.  He spread lies and propaganda about election cheating.  I don't know if he actually believed the lies and thought he was telling the truth or if he knew it was all BS and spread the lies anyway, nor can I figure out which is worse, but either way it was terrible. 

But there's a WIIIIIIIDE gray area between a guy acting being a POS and being a sore loser and a guy being an ACTUAL hostile takeover dictator. 

" was democratically elected 10 years after the failed Beer Hall Putsch."

Not really.  He lost the presidential election of 1932.  He made a deal with then President Hindenburg to be appointed chancellor.  He also had his own paramilitary group, which is kind of necessary when attempting to usurp the rule of law.  

 

This is fair. It's not analogous to Hitler's ascent to power, but you'd have a tough time trying to find an equivelent in modern day western politics precisely because of how unprecedented and insane all of Trump's behavior is. Trump literally has proven himself to be a threat to Democracy already. That will forever be his legacy, but I agree that drawing comparisons to Hitler is a disservice to those who were alive at the time and saw what extreme authoritarianism really looked like.

Even the term "insurrection" is overblown nonsense.  Calm down.  Our nation was quite literally never in any danger whatsoever, nor was Mike Pence.  

Ah ok. You're trolling. I get it now. Carry on

That's nonsense. If Pence or Pelosi were encountered those people would have likely severely beaten/killed them.

It's almost like Mike completely purged from his memory what happened to the cops that day. It's unbelievable how disconnected from reality he is.

No, he's just genuinely that retarded. The unfortunate result of cousin-Fing and bottom tier public education system.

Ok, let's play this out to its logical conclusion then... Why were they trying to disrupt the tallying of the votes? For funsies because they were cosplaying or was there a particular reason behind it?

You guys act like Trump issued this guys gear and told them what to do.  

They were a bunch of idiots protestors, and many of them took it too far.

At no point was our country or system of govt under any threat whatsoever.
