70% of the voters in Horry County voted for President Trump. The overwhelming number of voters here not only supported the Capitol protests, but they also didn't think they went far enough. Rice can vote his conscience, and the voters here in SC's 7th district will vote theirs. The problem with Washington is that nobody fears their electorate. A good dose of fear is a good thing for politicians.
If the protesters went further, it is very likely you would have plenty of more dead bodies than 5 (that isn't a threat, that just reality gave that it is federal property).
Most Americans do not see the Jan.6 incident as a joke, it is being taken very seriously with investigations still ongoing and while not everyone will get arrested, some already have. The only thing it really did was cement an already divided nation.
Also, why is it so hard to comprehend that you and/or your specific county may not represent the majority of Americans or at least have to reach a compromise in government. Instead of looking at counties, why not look at a total population of specific states to get an idea of political allegiance. 20 counties totaling 10,000 people are still fewer people than 1 million in 1 county. That's why anecdotes (even my own) need to be taken with speculation.

If they were politicians that would be a good start.

The House of Representatives exists so that one representative represents his individual district, not his state. What you're suggesting is the purpose of the US Senate. And since the mid-1960's, all Congressional districts in this country must have similar population sizes. Tom Rice's job is to represent the 7th Congressional District of South Carolina, not Charleston, not Columbia, not Greenville and certainly not any other state. What you're suggesting is exactly why GOPe Republicans are scumbags. Their concept of what is the prevailing attitude of this country is determined by the mainstream media, which in turn means they'd rather placate DC and NYC elitists than listen to their constituents back home in Dixie or flyover country.

Good, because at this point I believe liberals to be traitors to this country. I want no compromise with those evil assholes.
The time for conflict is way past due IMO.

Why is it so hard to comprehend that I don't vote for representatives to do what the majority Americans want. I vote for representatives who will do what I want.
It's partially what our constitutional republic is based on...Representation!
If you weren't a democratic shitstain you would know that.

Wrong. Most Americans believe the reaction to January 6 was over blown and believe people like you are using it to further devide the country.
