That sort of behavior, along with the intention, is why it's differen(T).

The real difference is that Democrats are typically smart when they enact these schemes. They do them with plausible deniability and coordinated with their media outlets to rain down the plausible deniability.

Republicans are just fricking idiots when they try to be bold. January 6 is the apex example of this idiocy.

That's why I truly believe Q is really a Left psyop targeting the LCD of the MAGA factions. They are just dumb and crazy enough to run wild with the stupidity.

I’m not shocked at all. Been saying for years on this board what their intentions are. You’re next.

Yes and no. None of this is unexpected, I just never thought it would happen in my lifetime. We're watching the fall of the Roman Empire in real life. Sports and the internet have taken the place of the gladiators.

The issue as I see is not Republican vs Democrat or Liberal vs Conservative. That's all theater to distract us. The real problem is the government. It's grown too powerful and is content to strip away the freedoms of its subjects so it can keep its power.

They didn't punish the pussy hat liberals from taking storming congress and scotus because they know they have no real power. They're made up of women and emasculated men. They came down on Trump and the J6 protestors because they are men with type A personalities who can affect the level of power the government has.

Nothing will get better any time soon.

Wrong. You normalize terrible, illegal, riots… there will be more riots.

Why is crime skyrocketing in America’s liberal ran cities with soft on crime DAs even by first time young offenders?

When you see these “takeovers” poorly policed, it doesn’t encourage others?

When you allow, and make excuse, for people looting a large store in one neighborhood… it doesn’t embolden the same in a nearby one?

Of course it does. You know it. You just don’t want to acknowledge it. When the media gives you the green light.. you will then be able to. But not until for some reason.

Tell us how you feel about the Covid19 policies of the Trump administration and his leftist economics

Yeah the groundwork has been there for a while. I just can’t believe how easy it was to flip the switch when they actually decided to do so.

How about the riots the day after Trump won in 2016?



Is it only that the 01/06/21 protests scared the elected officials in DC that classifies it as an "insurrection"?

No, of course not. It's that it's Trump. Otherwise, this...



(riots and fires in DC by BLM in the summer of 2020) would have been considered an insurrection as well (or condemned at least a "public health crisis" considering we were in mid-COVID at that time).

Of course not.

Youre just another faux progressive pretending to be independent. A dime a dozen, I have no clue why you people keep pretending.

I suppose that was probably part of the point of the multiple interspersed indictments, but I’m still sort of amazed at how easily they’ve gotten so many, so quickly, to get onboard with the notion that this is simply how we will do things now and that’s how it is.

Are you not flabbergasted by the machinations of the last president to hold on to power, holding a rally to pressure his VP and congress to flip the election followed by the J6 riot of morons, and his failure to appear at the inauguration of the next president signaling a peaceful transfer of power? Are you just flabbergasted by the reaction?

So your argument is that J6 protesters are on the same level as the 2020 BLM protesters?

Your argument is that the J6 protestors were influenced by black males in urban areas to commit similar crimes?

I thought it was ridiculous and was fortunate enough to be in a position to not have to follow them.

As far as Trump's leftist policies, I'm sure you can cherry pick stuff to prove your point so I'm not going to get into that.

I never used the "I-word".

And those riots were literally outside of Congress, leading to a breach of Congress after violently clashing with capitol security.

It's a big bigger of a threat to Congress than riots protesting Trump well clear of Congress.

Why? What forceful government takeover were those riots attempting? Where were the leaders promoting that takeover?

Most people, left or right would imprison the other side if they could.


Society is getting dumber and less capable of handling their own affairs. Society is fricking ridiculous, I feel sorry for those too young to know what decent people were like.

Really? After large swaths of cities were burned down with practically zero resistance? Where looting was encouraged in spots of Baltimore? Where the phrase “well they have insurance so it’s ok” got started?

That was allowed to happen with zero pushback and you are stunned something like that happened somewhere else?



Funny how those mostly peaceful riots by domestic terrorists faded into oblivion after the (s)election...

I don't even know what you're referencing because you didn't include any information, but those people should be arrested.
