    Another delusional thought is that elections matter, when your government is thoroughly corrupt.

    Luckily that isn't the US. Trump is out of office now.

    The American government has been thoroughly corrupt since basically Wilson.

    So you think that all elections have been meaningless or corrupt? What a flake.

    Kinda doesn't really.

    They could easily have acted on his "orders" without actually having bothered to vote for him.

    Maybe they just like breaking things and he gave them the perfect excuse?

    If you think I'm referring to just elections, you're quite mistaken. But don't let our sordid history as a nation stifle your faith in the feds.

    "Maybe they just like breaking things and he gave them the perfect excuse?" proves my point. They didn't do it because of him. Anyway, good luck rehabilitating horned viking dude into a credible witnesses for the prosecution.

    So you think these rioters did vote for Trump?

    Or do you think there wasn't a riot and it was all made up?

    Or there was a riot and these people weren't there?

    Can you say explicitly what's fake about the report?

    Would you believe the exact same report if it came from a different source?

    No, right?

    You need a better argument.

    Burden is on those who think red white and blue shirtless viking is going to win them an illegal impeachment against someone no longer holding federal office.

    Did I ever give any indication that somehow that was me?

    That said, maybe the GOP should choose him over the elephant as their modern day mascot?

    I can see that!

    Well the democrats have no problem using Andrew Jackson's donkey as theirs even though they also want to tear down his statue.

    Hasn't Donnie taken a position on that? I know he has taken this position position https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...minal-helping-florida-felons-vote/3517691001/

    Except there is no law barring anyone from paying another's fine so that they can vote. Not MENSA material is Donnie.

    Now that you mention it, the story of Ol' Hickory in 1828 is pretty funny.

    Anyway, back to the OP, I am not surprised (in the least) that some of them didn't vote.

    I think they should switch that mascot for something like a jaguar.

    Yea, Horned Guy and The Jaguar.

    Nice ring.....

    I'm fine but thanks for your concern.

    If you're not going to read the article and aren't interested in a quote that synopsizes it, why are you even participating in the thread?

    Why not just start a "CNN sucks" thread?

    I'm sure you'll find a captive audience.

    In the case of these Capitol storming jerks, that's "captive" in the literal sense.

    Or you could try to answer the questions (they're CNN agnostic unless you can't tell).

    Indeed. trump always did say that he loved his poorly educated base.
    Their seditious insurrection was the natural outcome of his unrelenting demagoguery and lies.

    Perhaps the OP will figure out the mindset of anarchists soon. Most of the Antifa black block probably didn't vote for Biden, nor would they have voted for Sanders. They don't believe in the federal government at all. They do have Far Left sympathies so they show up at BLM rallies and then set about destroying "the system".

    Most anarchists on the right wouldn't vote for Trump because they don't believe in federal government at all. They do have Far Right sympathies so they show up at Trump rallies and then set about destroying "the system".

    Anarchists are insurrectionists. The far left are pure communist. The far right are pure capitalist. Both seek a pure form of self-government without a hierarchy pyramid where the 1% at the tip decide what society can and cannot do. Both want to destroy the existing government and they don't want to accomplish that through decades of elections which keep "the system" intact.

    Wouldn't it be lovely if CNN gave equal time to explain anarchy to its viewers in a more balanced way. Ah well, the "balance" is FOX which does do a compare and contrast, yet also biases views to make the communist anarchists seem worse than the capitalist anarchists.

    Seems the vast majority of Americans would agree that the fringe anarchists thinkers are dangerous to our civil fabric, and that the existing government does not need to be destroyed physically in order to achieve reform. The less CNN and/or FOX people exclusively consume, the easier that concept is to realize.

    Anarchists see government as the problem. Each side's solution, after the "problem is solved", is just very different.

    These are not civic-minded voters. They exist on the fringe of both sides.
