The positive thing about the planned coup attempt

[nowisthetime]

They probably won't be pardoned, Dump doesn't give a shit about the regular folks.

It's just pathetic how these people wasted their lives for a shitty cause.

At least humans throughout history were willing to put their lives at risk for stuff like religious persecution, police brutality, voting rights, civil rights, but these idiots did this for a cheap conman trying to subvert democracy.

Shameful and embarrassing.

It was a protest that got out of hand. Calling it a coup is hyperbole. The idea that by physically occupying the building you can take over the government is absurd.

If the 'peaceful protesters' had realized that security was going to be so lax, they could have brought in assault rifles and taken out Pence, Pelosi, Schummer, McConnell and destroyed the mahogany boxes containing the EC tallies. Things would be very different today. (sorry to disappoint you) Several of those arrested and interviewed stated that that was their goal.

Calling it the same as any of the BLM protests is absurd.

No it wasn't, it was a coup attempt. I see you are another one of those posters.

You're treating them with kid gloves because it was a bunch of white MAGAts. How could they have easily gotten into the building? They wouldn't afford the same courtesy to Antifa or BLM.

Why didn't they shoot more of them up?

Stop treating these people so kindly.

They are insurrectionists.

My take on it is that both the BLM protests, and this conservative protest were exactly the same:

They both started out just as legitimately : people expressing their views or discontent peacefully. And, like most protests do eventually, they spiralled out of control cause hot-heads or agitators.

The difference being that in this case, it was the president of the United States!! who pushed them towards a riot.

If was just a bunch of protestors then the POTUS would not have given them a rally to encourage them ( then hidden back in the WH )

No, it isn’t. You appear to have no idea what you are talking about. This is free enterprise at it’s finest.

When in the history of our great republic have people lost jobs for having opposing opinions?

I don't think anyone OK'ed any rioting.

I think Donald Trump Sr., Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and Michael Flynn did.

Wasn't there concurrently multiple coordinated attacks on government buildings elsewhere as well? I bet the high dream was to sent in alternate slates of electors or some such.

One good thing from the response as it was at Capitol (even if it rather might be accidental than result of careful planning) was that it didn't give much ground for Trump to announce martial law -- with he probably would have done with glee if there a major fighting had taken place.

And yet It was the queen of the swamp that held up a relief bill, that would help small businesses stay above water, till after the elections to not give Trump a win?

Please give us a link to people planing a coup on Jan. 20th. It has to be out there on social media for YOU know to about it. And if there is it is a joke because you don't plan to overthrow the Government out in the open. Check donnie trump for that try.

What I've seen is another attack on the Capitol on 17 January. I don't know what the significance of that date is, though.

 

[KeithD]

Lacks self awareness. 74 million americans are traitors?

No. Those in that number are clueless and harbor morally degenerate beliefs and prejudices that Donald Trump has helped free. Some set within that number are traitors. Seems like you're in that set.

"... I don't get why people feel the need to repost the same images on multiple threads."

Some of us don't read all threads. Some of us also have some thread starters on ignore and so don't see those threads at all.

I'm too lazy to go back and find the poll or other I saw, but the more relevant numbers were like 3% 5% 12%

It was a key element of a coup attempt, led by Donald Trump. What do you know about coups? I covered them from the location of the coup for a couple of decades. This was a bumbling one, done too much in the open and without much intelligence, but it was a coup attempt nonetheless. It still is.

You and Adrina need to get a room. Maybe cite from some reputable source about concurrent coordinated attacks.

Martial law? Really! Trump is not some God King, he has limitations on his authority and he's surrounded by people who would object to idiotic ideas.

Lol..

Did you know that clown in the fur with the horns is the son of a Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice.

Many Republicans would have voted for Trump because he is a Republican even if they had to hold their noses as they voted, because any Republican President, even Trump, would be seen by them as better than a Democrat.

That does not mean that 74 million people are devoted Trump supporters. They had a choice between the known and the feared unknown.

That does not make them all un-American.

I never heard them complain that what they got wasn't what they signed up for. Guilt by association.

I fail to see how that counters what I posted. I've posted the exact same thing elsewhere--that there will be people who vote party no matter what. That doesn't absolve them from voting for the likes of Trump, whose failings were well known before he ran for president. There were other Republicans running and you can write someone else in in the American voting system. That doesn't absolve them from being moral degenerates for voting for and supporting such a person. And that's what my post said. It didn't say anything about what you've countered with.
