    If Muslims had marched thru the capital with a star and crescent, or black people with a "Black power" banner, the whole country would be on lockdown and senators/representatives would be calling for mass deportations. Actually, never mind. If either of those groups were within 100 feet of the entrance the national guard would have been called out by Trump.

    You keep citing BLM which has openly rejected violence and condemned looting. But you do not care so either you are ignorant or lying to smear all minorities. This, in contrast, to the President who encouraged the march and attack on the capital and, with Republicans in Congress, has tried to subvert our elections.

    As for crocodile tears, if you cannot tell the difference between looters taking advantage of chaos while people protest for equality and people trying to commit treason and trying to overturn our government, with the help of elected officials, then you have some severely colored perspective.

    No. You and your ilk got us Trump. Right wing enablers who chose to vote for him and have continued to enable him. And still do.

    Please don't cast aspersions on those who have opposed what he stands for as somehow being responsible for him.

    And, while your ilk still voted for him, the "left" (meaning those to the left of the far right) got rid of him.

    And since you still support Trump, even today, you can look in the mirror and know you are an enabler of an autocrat and this attempted insurrection.

    All autocrats need popular support. And they buy that support with their themes and policies. And, that is why 147 members of Congress object to counting electors and for the overthrow of the will of voters. Because they need your vote to, and they put their power over principle.

    That is how democracies become autocracies.

    Just understand your contribution.

    And I contributed to Biden, so I am happy I helped defeat the would be dictator.

    Why do all these nut representatives look like the best moment of their life was freshman rush and they cannot wait to laugh at the fat kid looking for a bid (who will soon be their boss, as they provide a witless smile to the camera with pearly white teeth)? Fox and OAN seem to shop the same employee store (at least for women).

    Nothing screams condemnation of violence like "No Justice, No Peace."

    Nothing screams condemnation of violence like "F*** Peace."

    Look, I'm not a fan of people storming the Capitol to try to change the results of the election, even if they believe the election was stolen from them. I think I've made that point perfectly clear. But at least I'm being consistent. I'm condemning the Capitol riots. I wish they never happened. I'm characterizing those events as shameful.

    The difference between the two is it seems to me that every mainstream conservative is condemning the events on the Capitol. Liberals ignored, defended, or sympathetically characterized six to seven months worth of Antifa and BLM rioting and looting.

    Let's be consistent, and let's condemn all violence.

    Well, given her qanon allegiance, and general rw reactionaryism, I would expect her to project on the left.

    To paraphrase one of my friend's comments on fb, if you are confused about whether you support a righteous cause or not and look around and see people waving the confederate flag or adorned with confederate accoutrements, others wearing Camp Auschwitz or 6MWE (6 million wasn't enough shirts) and other nazi clothing, you're probably on the wrong side of the hate line.

    Certainly its a fair question to ask how many BLM supporters took over the Capitol. I am fairly sure you would have numbers on this since you are really infatuated with comparing events.

    . One day when you can face what happened on Wednesday you will understand that all those people that think they are "patriots" are nothing more than a bunch of fools and terrorists too. Embarrassments. Each and every one of them. You won't hear it though because it's obvious you are incapable of seeing the magnitude of what taking over the Capitol has done. Continue keeping it easy for you and blame BLM for standing up against being beaten to death by police because it is so comparable to a coup. My god dude at what point can you just stop and think about it.

    My goodness. I just characterized the events on the Capitol as shameful. Stop acting like I'm defending them. I'm not.

    To his murderous armed, police-killing terrorists: “We know your pain, we know your hurt. You’re very special, we love you!”

    meanwhile a player kneels - “GET THAT SONOFABITCH OFF THE FIELD! YOURE FIRED!”

    The terrorism and attempted overthrow of our gov we all saw on wed was for trump, perpetuated by a riotous mob of all white, far right/MAGA/trump followers. That directly resulted in killing 5, including the murder of a capital policeman. I don’t get this attempting to change the topic - it will not change those facts.

    Our President staged a Coup

    But BLM triggered me.

    One was bad as are all riots and looting. The other was an international disaster and attack on our Halls of democracy

    Alright duchen... Whatever radicalism, whatever censorship comes in the next 4 years. Whatever dictatorial tendencies occur... and this will happen to some degree because it's going to be the Kamala show for 4 years...

    I'm going to remind you of the standard you held us to. And I don't think you're going to like it.

    The notion that when you vote for a candidate, you are enabling every negative aspect of that candidate and all of that negativity is on your head is incredibly unfair, and frankly, is sheer nonsense.

    We do the best we can with the choices given to us. It's not my fault the choices happen to suck.

    why do you keep wanting to change the topic?

    start a separate thread. This thread is on MAGA terrorism.

    And this was a great opportunity for the country to come together in unified condemnation of the events on the Capitol.

    Instead, people on the left pointed to this fictitious double standard where BLM protesters would have been treated more harshly.

    Disgusting, disgusting stuff.

    Your right. BLM would have been escorted into the Capitol and none of them would have been beaten, thrown to the ground and handcuffed, lined up to be taken away. Not even black reporters! Nope they would have been allowed to roam around freely.

    You must feel quite a bit of guilt for your Trump decision making to spend so much time working to defer the attention from a white mans coup attempt because nobody is listening to them..boo hoo boo hoo. The pain of not being listened to so what to do? Overthrow the government! What a comparison to BLM. You are so misguided.

    Guess what? I'm not sure if you know this but people who stormed the Capitol are being arrested. Try again.

    And they should be arrested.

    Also, people died. One unarmed woman was shot in the neck.
