- BrawnLongHaul 6y agoThe mental gymnastics to reach this conclusion (assuming you are not being scarcastic) are astounding!

- NoOneNew 6y agoSo... trying to set government buildings on fire with people inside is okay as long as you don't enter... got it.
- sophacles 6y agoNice deflection - pure ad hominem with no supporting facts or counter argument. I wonder what you are trying to say.

- ekianjo 6y ago> just a protest? That's called bending reality after half of year of burning and looting in major cities I guess?
- ryandvm 6y agoTreason is kind of a stretch. A real coup involves the military and people actually taking over the role of government. We were not even close to that. January 6th was incredibly embarrassing, but it wasn't even a proper attempt at overthrowing the government. The Capitol riots were basically just the kind of thing that happens when you have too many morons in the same place at the same time. Sort of a critical mass of idiocy.
- dkarl 6y ago> it wasn't even a proper attempt at overthrowing the government It was a difference of competence, not intent, and even an incompetent attempt poses grave dangers. John Hinkley Jr. didn't make a "proper" attempt to assassinate Ronald Reagan, but he paralyzed James Brady and -- despite not firing a single shot on target, just as "embarrassing" as any of the Capitol rioters -- came very very close to killing the president.
- goatinaboat 6y agotreasonous Genuine question: what do you think about “autonomous zones”? Isn’t seceding from the state usually pretty serious? The US fought a civil war over it last time someone did that.
- pseudalopex 6y agoMany states have autonomous regions.
