Just because it was a poorly executed insurrection doesn’t make it any less of one.
This was not a protest. It was an act of violence, complete with a death threat, and its goal was to forcibly prevent the democratic transfer of power.
- infotainment 3y agoExactly -- people stormed a government facility with the express aim of killing a particular official (Pence) who wasn't compliant with their demands. The fact that it was only attempted and didn't succeed doesn't make it meaningless. Reminds me of that classic Simpsons quote: "Attempted murder. Now honestly what is that? Can you win a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?”

- IAmGraydon 3y agoThe guy you're replying to is that type: Deeply lacking a sense of self empowerment and so desperate to derive it from the politicians who have him bamboozled that he's willing to deny objective reality to maintain them as his savior. This goes for both sides - you cannot talk logic or truth to these people. They were never interested in either.
