Re: Current Events Thread
Can you cite another coup attempt where the insurrectionist weren’t armed in the past 400 years?
Every single one of those shits who rioted in the Capitol should be prosecuted, fined and jailed. No exceptions.
But January 6th has been exaggerated and overhyped from day one. If it were really about concern and accountability, anyone parroting there “Insurrection” narrative would acknowledge that DC and Capitol police denied National Guard support in the days leading up to January 6th. They’d want to know why the South side entrance was completely unsecured for a mob of thousands heading in its direction. There’d be outrage that a police officer fired on an unarmed woman and killed her. But there’s not any of that. Rather it’s political rhetoric hyping up a horrible act done by a thousand dipshits who were just as destructive as the daily riots that manifested daily in nearly every major American city during the preceding 7 months. Riots committed by people who identified with the umbrella of BLM. Leaders who members of Congress knelt with and shared a stage with days after this mob breached the White House fence, with Molotov cocktails, forcing the President to be secured in a bunker. This mob didn’t get to breach the White House because the White House, unlike the Capitol, had ample security that was able to use non-lethal means to force the rioters back. And Pelosi knelt with BLM the day after in support of the group. The group who had breached the White House perimeter a day earlier. Then Trump did his famous photo op, that last month every news outlet issued a retraction for accusing him of clearing the protesters out, silencing the first amendment. I’m sure every person here will ignore this point. An example out of many of how the media and Democratic politicians pushed absolutely false narratives to build the notion in the impressionable that Trump was putting people behind barbed wire.
Now that Trump is gone, the BLM energy the DNC can harness, has to be thrown at anything that goes against their public comments. Republican voter laws are racist, “they’re Jim Crow on Steroids.” The Supreme Court upholds simple voter laws, and “this is the greatest threat to our Democracy since the Civil War.” If you don’t support amnesty, you’re a bigot. If you don’t think biological males should compete in women’s sports, or be legally indistinguishable from biological females, you’re a bigot. Pick any issue, and the counter is always the same. It’s always a moral argument, and if you don’t agree, you’re a piece of shit and should not share your opinions publicly.
And it all goes back to January 6th. If the narrative is “a bunch of Neo-Nazis stormed the Capitol to murder Congress and declare Trump the President for all eternity, and these neo-nazis will come back and kill everyone unless we pass these laws or enforce things our way”, you really don’t have to expend much time convincing people your ideas have any chance of achieving what you claim them to achieve.
A lot of people don’t see January 6th as an insurrection, but an unfortunate and predictable outcome after 7 months of riots, where any attempt to send federal agents or National Guard was decried as racist brown shirts in the media. How many posts are on this forum denying the existence of Antifa last Summer?
When the leaders of the other party stand in solidarity with the people who breached the White House fence in a riot with fire bombs forcing the President into a bunker, and its brushed off, I think qualifying January 6th as a horrific event unparalleled takes a little more substance than “it’s an attack on the constitution.” After all, Biden said “no amendment is absolute.”

He said, "Every single one of those shits who rioted in the Capitol should be prosecuted, fined and jailed. No exceptions." That's not saying it's okay. He's saying it wasn't the Rwanda massacre people are making it out as. Democracy was not in jeopardy. And it's hypocritical, and ironic you mentioned it, that the same outrage was not given to the leftists who tried storming the white house. CNN made fun of Trump being taken to a bunker.
They're all asshats. And every other "insurrection" the media swore was going to happen never took place . It doesn't remind you of some of the "terror" reporting that happened during the early part of the Iraq war?
