Republicans think saying "We need to stop Trump" is inciting political violence, but think this guy saying shit like this is A-Ok.

Reminder to all the MAGA morons out there: Trump's coup only got as far as it did in 2021 because he was in charge and did nothing to stop it. If Biden is the one in control of handing over the reins, you can bet your ass he'll curbstomp insurrectionists. You'd be better off staying home for this "civil war" wet dream.

The most amazing thing about J6 is that they were all allowed to just go home.

I still think the NG and DC Police should have surrounded the building and said "you have 5 minutes to come out and lay down, then we're going to come in and take you out."

And then no one leaves until they are ID'd. None of this "4 years of trying to find these fucks."

It would be the 2nd time in U.S. history where the other side lost and the ones still standing just...went home...🙄

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, where were those guys on J6 anyway?

It's like most of them didn't even show up to work for some reason.

[–] jorp@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

you're letting the pigs off the hook, do you think Biden or Trump would have had to say anything if the protestors were BLM protestors storming the capitol?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Doesn't matter if you fly a Trump flag or a BLM flag, if you storm the capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, you're an insurrectionist.

It's not complicated.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah they would have.

Trump only allowed it to happen because of who was protesting/rioting.

Any other president or any other protesting group would have had their asses handed to them.

If maga tries this shit again, it’s going to get real lively. Btw I have my popcorn ready

[–] jorp@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

My point is the police would have taken care of it without any input if the protestors were not far right.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Indeed, they still think of the J6 rioters as "Political prisoners" fools all of them
