    Pearl Harbor occurred in a US TERRITORY, not the nations capitol as the Jan6 assault did. Making it a far worse offense.

    Or it was because police were killing people and then not even being investigated much less charged.

    How you can obfuscate between that and “we are in a cult and disagree with the wishes of the people” is confus… wait, you’re a Republican. Makes perfect sense

    Ya, that's what those idiots told themselves just like the 6-Jan idiots told themselves Trump won. But facts are Trump lost and criminals sometimes die whilst committing crimes; its called 'thug life' and they should know since its their 'culture'. Now if you strip away the ideologies what you're left with are mobs of people, unhappy with government, getting together to yell about it, and then some of them get rowdy. And if you catalog along political lines not only are the number of left-originated riots vastly more common, like 2000:1 vs right-originated ones, but the protest-to-riot participation rate is also dramatically greater for the leftists protests than it was on 6-Jan.

    AND all of that paragraph only addresses one single sliver of leftist attacks; the BLM/ANTIFA riots. We still need to go over the various leftists attacks (bombings, shootings, riots, arson, etc) on the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, on Congressional members themselves, as well as dozens and dozens and dozens of federal facilities all over the country. I see your ~3 hour isolated 6-Jan incident with its couple busted doors and broke windows, and I raise you decades worth of left wing terrorism resulting in tens of billions of dollars in damages and incalculable bloodshed.

    I find it quite sad that rightists and trumpists are proud of the gaslighting from a conspiracy theory nut bag that believes in such shitbag nonsense as Trump winning the election and Jewish space lasers and a pedo.

    Over 2,000 Americans died at Pearl Harbor. Over 2,000 Americans died in the USA on 9-11 and some drink the kook aid that 1-6 was worse than either or in some cases saying worse than both combined.

    Kind of like how the left defended $2 billion in property damage and theft, 25 dead, thousands injured, in riots, looting, vandalism all across blue city America and made excuses for it all and bailed perps out of jail….

    God it must suck to be a rightist that actually believes Trump won the election and that the traitors that stormed the Capitol are hero's.

    Your inability to do basic homework won't change the fact that there was real violence. But keep living in your fantasy world where political agenda matters more than objective fact.

    Uh huh, just like the 'researched facts' the anti-vaxers use. Junk produced by people with a bias who selectively include or exclude data in order to justify a cute little graph that 99% of the people who see it wont look beyond.

    LOL! Looks like there is a lot of sour grapes on the right around the anniversary of 1/6. Collectively, they act like the kid that was caught with the hand in the cookie jar. However, instead of learning from the episode to never try to steal cookies again, they are pi$$ed that they got caught, and blame the adults who caught them. The end result: Moping, deflection and finger pointing at the Dems.

    Except for the many of us who didn't, who condemned all the human garbage that were looting and rioting in 2020, and can't understand why the right-wingers who also condemned those same actions are trying to portray Jan 6th as no big deal. To top that off, those same right-wingers trying to downplay Jan 6th still bring up the 2020 riots as an attack, seemingly unaware of the hypocrisy involved in downplaying a right-wing riot while simultaneously condemning liberals for downplaying BLM riots.

    I noticed you keep asserting your opinion as fact without any sources while outright dismissing anything you don’t like as biased (also with no evidence). Seems you and the anti-vaxers have more in common than you would like to acknowledge

    It is not the number of deaths that first defines the importance of an event.

    It's its impact.

    If Trump had succeeded - as you wish - the US would be an autocracy today.

    And that's the scariest part, because his supporters are willing to tear up the constitution to keep Trump in power.

    So.. let us be clear here. By your definition of the question, then only those who were directly violent would be "insurrectionists"?

    And just to further clarify, what "violence" constitutes "violence" in your mind? Since the DOJ have routinely let things like simple assault, battery, arson, and even trespass not get prosecuted, what evidence of actual violence do you have, and whom do you ascribe it to? I mean, to my mind, the only then real violence was the use of a gun against an unarmed service veteran by a capitol police LT. Perhaps you could illuminate us.

    Welcome to the wind straw man. Ignore the actual autocracy of the Biden administration currently shackling you to their version of public health, medicine, and free movement. All this and you're still going to insist that making sure there weren't voting irregularities or fraud that elected Biden were investigated is a crime. Got it. You don't seem to understand what "tear up the constitution" means.

    There is no doubt that 1/6 was more damaging to democracy in America than either Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Those were attacks by foreigners, against the country.

    1/6 was an attack by Americans against a legitimate election result. It was an attack against the fabric of America.

    Trump has used every possible means to prove his Big Lie.

    He had access to every court of law.

    And he failed.

    And what about the audits in Arizona and Wisconsin? Still nothing.

    Every time you experience a failure, you invent a new reason to justify it.

    You and the rest of the MAGA cling to Trump like castaways to a boat anchor.

    And that delights me to no end.

    “Tear up the Constitution” is what trump and his 1/6 insurrectionists tried to do. Thankfully they failed, but only because some Republicans were prepared to put their oath of office ahead of fealty to dirty donny bonespurs.
    His cult members are getting into all kinds of positions that might allow him to succeed in 2024.

    For everyone with BLM riots whataboutisms regarding Jan 6/2021 seditious insurrection, let's put this to rest once and for all. The Jan 6th insurrection was an attack on the US Constitution while the BLM riots simply were not.

    I don't support either but they are simply not equivalent.

    That sounds like a lot of puff and fury for sure. Too bad the actual facts don't in any way support your comments.

    You are correct in one aspect. BLM riots cost the nation billions of dollars in property damage for both private and government properties. In fact, it seems the BLM riots were far more deadly, and certainly a direct challenge to both the rule of law, constitutionalism, and our way of life. Your baseless assertion and attempt to propagandize a mostly peaceful protest that happened in DC isn't even close to much more violent assaults on the city and congress.
