you have to stop putting your party above your country... as an American, if you can't admit that seeing your fellow AMERICAN citizens, breaching their own fricking Capitol, causing chaos, calling for members of THEIR Congress, even members of their OWN party, to be put to death, then there truly isn't any hope for you, you are too far gone to actually debate with, as there isn't any care nor sensibility left in you...
I'm no big Trump supporter if you've confused me with one. I just don't like seeing people being silenced over political ideology.
And no, I do not think people breaking windows at the capital and that Q lady dying compares with days like 9/11, D Day, the Kennedy assassination, Pearl Harbor or Antietam from a historical perspective. It will be a blip in the history books.

No, it's not. It's no different. An unbiased observer understands this.
One is a bunch of petulant idiots on the right.
The other is a bunch of petulant idiots on the left.
Both caused destruction to public property, to include looting.
Both resulted in death and injury.
It's not hard, and the fact you refuse to face these facts tells me you're a hypocrite along with the rest of them.

considering big tech is left leaning
Right leaning people can invest in tech companies and allow whatever they want, but I honestly don't think its about political censorship. That would be a horrible business decision. If they censor one political side they are literally risking losing... Maybe 30% of their users (I am just estimating, but it would be enough to have a dent in business).
With what happened on Wednesday and then people talking about meeting up again on January 19th to be in Washington on January 20th for the inauguration... with their weapons.. Its about national security.
Its things like this.
Youtube- Trumps & Other Watch Riot
DTJ Speech
Junior is telling people they can either be a hero or a zero. I really think its disgusting and the other video shows they seemed to be pleased to see what was happening.
And I don't think these platforms all just up and decided to ban Trump and the others.. And Apple & Google to remove Parler. I think calls were made asking those companies to do what they did. And those calls didn't just come from one party.
Lil Donnie is saying "This isn't their Republican party anymore, this is Donald Trump's Republican party".
After January 20th he will no longer be head of the party, but for him to say "This is Donald Trump's Republican party" if he was allowed to tweet and then being pissed at certain people, with him no longer being president, there is no telling what he would be willing to say or do.
He has his own militia. There are a lot of people who are willing to do crazy shite for him (we saw that Wednesday). I think there are always exceptions to the rules and this is one of those times.

So you're just going to completely ignore that twitter was used to orchestrate the riots over the past year, with zero consequences to twitter?

all of these, except the Kennedy assassination, involved a foreign adversary (yes, I consider the CSA, being they seceded from the Union, a foreign adversary to the US).... what makes this much more different is it was self-inflicted and just really underscores how far removed we have become from what we always wanted to be...
I will say, though, one of the proudest moments, for me, as an American, was seeing them go right back to work, the same day, to ensure that we still have the resolve to do what is necessary, no matter what, but it still makes me incredibly sad to think of what society has allowed itself to become, all because of the letters besides someone's name... it's been time for alll of us to come back towards the middle, but with social media and 24 hours news channels, it will never come back to the middle, I fear

Correct, but I intentionally left that part out because the goal was to show the exact similarities between the two groups and what they did. It's almost a perfect example of the horseshoe theory.

If congress members were put in harms way something would have been done. It just so happens that people with influence are personally being impacted so they took action.

one tore up and looted Office Depot, Target, etc... the other tore up and looted the fricking US Capitol... if you can't see the difference, despite BOTH sides being absolutely wrong in their respective cases, tells me you're a hypocrite, as well, especially given your avatar photo....

Oh so something should be done only if it's our Congress members put in danger.
I mean frick everyone else right?

I don't care about members of Congress more than the Circle K owner down the street. Hell, I probably care more about the Circle K owner.

Our own government did not. They were merely referred to as "states in rebellion."

There is no difference.
Our capitol is not some fricking sacred place, and our politicians not some sacred group to be treated differently than private business and private citizens. Our politicians are not nobility, they are our employees.
And at least private business owners produce and contribute to society, which is far, far more than can be said of our politicians.

August 2020: Rioters surrounded and came close to assaulting Rand Paul and other congressman (would have had they not had police protection) after Trump’s speech at the RNC.
Twitter and Facebook took zero steps after that event.
Outside of Fox News, it received very little airtime actually.
This never happened.

Amen to that. If anything, trashing the capitol is more likely to be ethically solid than trashing a Circle K. I have no claim of ownership whatsoever at Circle K.

That was just off the top of my head. I could name dozens of events more historically significant if I thought about it for a bit.
If last weeks events led to a civil war or something like that I guess they'd end up being historically significant but I don’t think that will be the case.

They succeeded in burning down one police station. Some police officers were still in the building when it was set on fire and they had to flee for their lives.
