'dangerous seditious insurrectionists'

Just a week ago the people in that building voted to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from those very working class occupiers and give it to special interests overseas.

Well you are certainly entitled to that opinion. But, again, my point was there is a clear distinction between your local Walmart and the US Capitol with respect to their importance to our democracy.

There’s no intellectual honesty if they side with the extremists actions ofc 😂

One can generate revenue and the other takes it form the people because the government can’t generate revenue and gets its funds from taxes.

I think it’s absolutely imperative that democracies hold sacred first the people over the institution. A democracy loses all of its value as a system of the people if not.

But that’s the Thomas Jefferson in me. He’s seeming more and more naive with every day that goes by.

Declaring Joe Biden the winner of the election was putting people over institution. Violent thugs disrupting the process to murder and mayhem violated both

@Dedkraken you are using a racist dogwhistle

stop saying violent thug

I thought conservatives said all races helped them violate the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power?

A rainbow of violent thugs

wow

how homophobic of you

Your last few responses to me seem to be suggesting I am of a position which I am not and you could not logically assume from my statements.

Not once did I say or suggest that democracies should not hold their people scared. I mean.... "We the People...." come one.... of course the people are scared in this system.

Its a system of self governance..... the power that the "government" hold was given to the "government" by "The People"

So "We the People" are the core of this Democratic Republic.

I would really appreciate it if you would stop incorrectly stating my positions for me. If you feel you are confused on what I meant, then by all means ask and I will clarify

I’m not homophobic I have no problem with those terrorists patriotically circlejerking each other. I just don’t think being in the capital killing people was a good choice for venue

How the fuck is that homophobic?

woah chill with the kinkshaming bigotry

Corporations pulling support for gop candidates that supported insurrection and fake fraud claims delicious. It’s going to be a fun midterms

Let me clarify. If you are not willing to defend small businesses from violent rioters with the same vigor as the Capitol building, then I would say you hold the Capitol building as a more sacred building worthy of better protection than private businesses they are intended to serve.

"kinkshaming"? Are you now implying that Homosexuality is a "kink"? Because that actually WOULD be a Homophobic statement.

Ok... and who do think is opposed to that position?

Probably me and a small percentage of Americans.

I do find it hypocritical though.

I agree with this. If the issue is with the system then take it out on the system. Not the people that the group claims to defend or protect.

So wait... you are opposed to defending small businesses from violent rioters? Or is this just a sliding scale where you put property damage of a walmart on the same level as an attack on the Capitol prohibiting those in it from doing their Constitutionally mandated job?

Small businesses were defended with far more violence and arrests though. You are pretending they did nothing 😂

?

not one unarmed protestor was shot by police

only in the capitol building

The protestors in the capital were armed

yeah they had two arms

the woman who was shot was unarmed

all the people around the woman was unarmed

Unarmed and breaking into a room with citizens to let armed violent mob in

Sounds like a real winner

Their constitutionally mandated job is no more important than the local jeweler that sells jewelry to put food on their table. I am saying that if it’s an act of terrorism to riot on the Capitol building for political reasons, then it’s equally a terrorist stack to riot on the jewelers store for political reasons.

@Dedkraken any unarmed protestors get shot by police while doing their looting? nope

Government: *shoots rioter in cold blood *

Biden: “everyone knows if this were BLM it would be much worse”

They arrested hundreds and attacked many more

The only thing that has stopped BLM mass murder is not doing something like breaking into the capital
