Protestors storm capital

[cowhide]

Attempts to “both sides” this by “whatabouting” BLM is lazy at best and incredibly malicious at worst. None of those protests for civil rights can compare with insurrection at the nation’s capital incited by the POTUS to overthrow the election. The weaponry, the organization, the characters involved (the president and members of Congress), and the sheer boldness isn’t apples to apples. But when “you’re not alt right”, I’m sure looking at the two looks the same.

To the rest of us, Jan 6 was the ugliest day in our country since 9/11. And honestly, in the long term, might be more destructive to our democracy domestically and American hegemony worldwide.

But sure, whatabout BLM. Trump is in trouble so We need to change the subject!

so Trump supporters have been planning violence since they lost the election. Trump encouraged them to march down to the Capital. After the attack began and the Trumpsters did not achieve what they wanted what do they do? They blame antifa and try to point the finger at BLM so not only are they terrorist and traitors but cowards because they tried to frame another group. Historically, White criminals when caught always try to blame it on a black person. Comparing BLM to these traitors is like comparing a bowling ball to an orange. There both round and that is all they have in common.

My neighbor is at my house right now talking politics with my wife (I am just playing fetch with my dog instead and staying out of the conversation) and he just said to her "they have already shown that antifa is the ones responsible for the attack on the capital. There is proof everywhere"

I just rolled my eyes.

Some of the ones I know continue to spew nonsense like it is irrefutable fact. I’m not sure what I was expecting but it’s just crazy we are still here.

Proof consists of hearing other people say it.

Love how the assholes who support Trump are pretending to be about unity now. Impeaching Trump IS a step toward unity. And the nimrods who created this whole situation(Trump and Trumptards) should have no say in the necessary matter of holding Trump accountable.

You are generalizing a position that is extremist and minority.

Cumulus Broadcasting (Radio) put out a memo to all of their conservative talk show hosts across the country that if they spread any rhetoric about the validity of the election, they will be fired.

Cumulus runs Westwood One, one of the nation’s largest syndication companies in the nation, includes major Trump-supporting hosts such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino.

Nah, I'm referring to specific people with an extremist position. I don't think the protesters from over last summer represent a certain political party.

I think you think you know my thoughts but I'm certain you don't.

Maybe my position and viewpoints are a minority. I'm ok with that because many people's opinions on the matter are influenced by their political party.

At the end of the day, I'm just sick of all the nonsense. I wish things were different, I really do. I wish all people did good in life and made society better. I'm tired of the right and left trying to demonize an entire party from the actions of the few that share some of their thoughts.

I’m glad more and more people are seeing him for what he is. Pretty sure I was the first here to call him out on his ****. “I’m not alt right I’m not alt right!” Yet, he takes their position every ****ing time. He plays footsies with the worst people in our society but tries to disguise it with his lame whataboutisms, both sides, and “I’m just asking questions” routine. The media he consumes from Shapiro, Ngo, etc is just rotting out his brian.

His schtick is so played out.

BTW both sides aren’t responsible for what happened this past week. Increasingly we’re seeing the right react with violence and is becoming more and more embracing of authoritarianism. They’re living in an alt reality

And yet they continue to kiss his ***. This is what immoral ambition leads people to. If Kevin McCarthy had any ounce of integrity and self respect, he’d be rallying his caucus to impeach trump’s ***

Ok, buddy. I'm so alt right in so much that I didn't find out about the riots until after my vacation. I found out and heard about Parlor the first time when Trump got banned from Twitter.

I haven't thought anything but the alt right and Trump supporters were the ones responsible for the capital riots. I condemn them in every way and it was a treasonous disgrace to our country.

I ask you, what exactly do you have a problem with? You can't hack it that I disagree with how people act?

Ok, buddy. Way to be the word of truth and warn everyone about how big and bad I am.

It’s important to recognize that the BLM protests over the summer were completely justified. Minorities need to be treated as citizens and the police need to be reformed. Their protest is based on serving the underprivileged. Therefore, their protests were justified.

These Republican protests however, aren’t justified. Trump lost fair and square. There wasn’t any voter fraud. Their protest is based on serving the overprivileged by throwing out black votes to install a white supremacist as dictator.

So let’s stop “both sidesing” the right and left here. The left protests to serve the broader good while the right protests to serve the overprivileged at the expense of the broader good. White supremacy depends on people not seeing a difference between the two protests. Perpetual discrimination depends on maintaining the status quo by turning a blind eye to the plight of the underclass.
