The poster alleges the US Government opposes the DC protesters in the same way the CCP opposes the HK ones. That requires not considering the US President to be part of the US Government for it to be true.

  The US president has said that he will use the full power of the government to track down and prosecute everybody involved in the capitol riot. I'd link you to the video of him saying this, but Twitter deleted it so I can't.

    Sure, and the blinky Vietnam POWs talking about their wonderful humane treatment just had a bunch of dust in their eyes. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/politics/democrats-trump-impeachment.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/politics/democrats-tru... > Behind closed doors, he made clear that he would not resign and expressed regret about releasing a video on Thursday committing to a peaceful transition of power and condemning the violence at the Capitol that he had egged on a day before.

      People who were at the Capitol have already started being picked off the streets by police. Many of the more prominent people have already been arrested, and there are large scale efforts to identify the rest.

    The same President whose own party says he’s done nothing to focus on the pandemic but play golf and fume over headlines as his government resigns? https://www.adn.com/politics/2021/01/08/alaska-sen-lisa-murkowski-calls-on-president-trump-to-resign-questions-her-future-as-a-republican/ https://www.adn.com/politics/2021/01/08/alaska-sen-lisa-murk... I am sure he will take things seriously over the next couple weeks. Flag all you want; unlike you donkeys I don’t care about useless internet karma on anonymous accounts. You’re just proving yourself a hypocrite over suppression of speech HN can block the entire T-Mobile IP block for all I care Your cognitive dissonance is stunning. “Man who failed upward his whole life will turn it around any minute now.” Right, that’s how brains work. Sure

They are referring to that fact that Trump is a member of the government that his supporters railed against. Admittedly not wholly fair statement as US is a congressional system, not a parliamentarian with clear cut government and opposition.

Meanwhile his former transportation secretary’s sister is married to Xi. Elaine was briefly in trouble with the media for inviting family to government meetings. But despite the mass media being a known political collaborator, let’s merely take the content you cherry picked at face value. Power is in bed with power. Trying to paint one side or another as above that, ignoring facts of biology for political rhetoric is putting your head in the sand.
