Funny how one can describe something and be blind to its most blatant example we had just in front of us for the last 4 years. 1/6 was the beer hall putsh, a dress reversal for a coup that only failed because of how incompetent its main instigator is. The same man who spent the last four years directly attacking the free press and anyone daring to stand in opposition to him. The main reason it happened though is exactly what you demonstrated in your comment, namely how effective the propaganda has been in gaslighting and deflecting. I would have loved to read your comment if we had had an assault on the capitol from liberals because they lost the election.

> 1/6 was the beer hall putsh This is ridiculous, this is unbelievable. There wasn't even a leader on 1/6 - there was Trump telling everyone "go march, I'll be there with you" and then he didn't even go. If there had been a leader, if there had been some person that the crowd knew and was rallying behind, it might have been a different story, but there was nothing of the sort. No speech, no actual politics, just pent up rage. > The same man who spent the last four years directly attacking the free press The press is not free, the press is captive, it's run by billionaires who want to keep their position entrenched no matter who is in power or what is in vogue. \ That same man abdicated, too, so what are you afraid of? Yes, he was stunningly incompetent. You should be glad of it. > I would have loved to read your comment if we had had an assault on the capitol from liberals because they lost the election. We just sat though four years of lies about Russian collusion, piss dossiers, allegations of election tampering, and BLM. It's basically the same thing. The problem is that you don't understand that the people who were protesting on 1/6 are actually much closer to being your allies than you realize, because you have been blinded by partisan politics. As a Canadian, this is all much easier to see from north of the border. Democrats huff Democrat propaganda, Republicans huff Republican propaganda, and then working class people on both sides somehow arrive at the conclusion that their peers are their enemy. Your country is broken and NPCs parroting rhetoric like yours is a key component of why this is so.
