Yep, but the problem with people commenting there is, that thay don't like Trump, and cheer for his removal.... when the turntables are turned, and someone else is cheering, it'll be too late, because the precedent has been set, and we've let them do it.

That's a false equivalence, because the words of the president directly incited violence and resulted in an angry mob storming the capitol building. I would hope that if a left-leaning politician did the same that the same precedent would be applied.

  > because the words of the president directly incited violence Do you have those words? I never saw them because they were censored apparently. Edit: lol HN, actually asking, chill out. Apparently asking for sources is just unacceptable. Here it is in text because I think they truth is important that n it’s entirety: ""I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time. There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election. But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated — that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace."""

    Have you tried looking for them yourself? It's not really that hard. Here's the video, judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBa5b1Xri8w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBa5b1Xri8w

It is surprising how short sighted some people are. This pendulum will swing, and so will the reaction.

This reasoning means nobody can ever be held responsible, because "What if it's me?" I like to assume the majority of people are good. So even when I support the right thing, I don't have to worry about turned tables.
