The left has been blaming Trump supporters and refusing to admit Antifa was involved. It was literally 1 riot out of how many for the Republicans? 1 vs the hundreds-thousunds of riots the Democrats have had since 2016. It's clear to see who has the more violent side. The left and Democrats.
Well he does for lots of different reasons, but that just goes to my point. He didn't acknowledge Biden won, so it's not clear if there will be a smooth transfer of power. This increases the likelihood of violence breaking out because normal channels for politics are useless.
1st you need a link, 2nd, you already forgot about 1/6/21 and all junk about a stolen election. That was the farthest from peaceful.
Do the summer riots ring a bell? The Berkley Riot in 2017? The 2016 riots? The riots in missouri years back? The Brandon Webber riot in 2019? The 2011 Wisconsin capitol riots and storming? The 2006 Dallas protest that resulted in 6 dead cops? The Brett Kavanaugh protests? I could name more...Those were all from the left or Democrats. Hypocrisy in this thread is crazy. The left gets a free pass by most of the people complaining about the Capitol riot. "Riot for me but not for thee".
We had riots and protests in 2016 when Trump won because the Democrats were sore losers. Republicans won't be like that. We are more civil for the most part. The Capitol riot is not going to happen again and those people are the minority.
Because it is. The idea is that the US can recover from rioting. It's just buildings damaged. But the institutions in place have to hold. For example, the police didn't go on strike during the rioting. But on 1/6 the police were ineffective despite pleas for help. The institution didn't hold and almost didn't protect Congress. That's why 1/6 is so bad. Congress as an institution wasn't properly protected.
Outside of Instigating and INCITING it for WEEKS with his "Wild" rhetoric? Yeah, Right... That sounds like a Fun Game, I am gonna Try. The Pacific Ocean had nothing to do with the World Sea Level... The Sahara Desert had nothing to do with the World Sand Content... Got any more?
More like a troubling trend was developing and a man clearly unfit for office was propelled into power. You're right. They won't riot. They don't have the numbers. More likely are we to see lone wolf attacks, bombings, that kind of stuff. A continuation of the far right being domestic terrorists.
I request that a moderator delete this thread because it violates rules, which is my error, and it's just causing more disagreement and insults along predictable lines
Where were you when the thousands, thousands, of officers were suffering serious injury at the hands of BLM and ANTIFA? Leftists saw ONE DAY of what their own kind do a literal regular basis and they went into a full blown McCarty era purge mode and impeached a President who told people to be peaceful. "Whatever". You should be thankful the right isn't organizing on the same level as the left had the last 4 years. You should, down on bent knee thankful that their side's extremists don't number even 1% of your side's extremists.
This thread is on point. All the drama queens and kings acting like chicken little about EVERYTHING have been wrong, once again.
Let's not pretend like Trump didn't try. It's just that no one else in the government or military who matters went along with his plan. 2 months of undermining election integrity while providing absolutely zero evidence is an embarrassment.
He only left "peacefully" because his insurrection was thwarted and his lawyers told him that if he didn't back down, he'd face civil and criminal liabilities. He left a disgraced pariah. Not even his veep wanted to attend his farewell, preferring to attend the inauguration of the guy who soundly beat him. And now that he has lost his presidential immunity, here is my advice to prosecutors: "Stand back and stand by."
