You’re just learning how small minded people are? In the US there was an attempted insurrection filmed live. We elected the guy who led it who then pardoned 1600 jailed criminals. Now he is trying to creat a slush fund to give them millions as reparations. 33% of the country is delighted by this. These are Plank sized brains.

billions; 30%. (His approval rating is finally starting to drop below the historic floor).

  Where are you seeing 30%? I feel like I keep seeing this claim, month after month, but then I look it up and he's still got around the same ~38% approval. I keep getting my hopes up that people are finally realizing how awful he is, only to be disappointed again. It's depressing.

    They're probably not looking on the first page of Google, for a start. We're at the sunset of the Information Age, that means that companies have bought all the info and are now manipulating it.

  He’s still not at Bush Jr pre 9/11 numbers. That’s a ways to go.

  College degrees aren't the differentiator they used to be (and I'm not sure if they used to be either).

  I think you're downplaying it too much. Of course comparing the event to better organized insurrections makes it look more innocent. But don't forget, the rioters erected makeshift gallows and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" because he refused to overturn the election. I don't doubt the mob would have hanged him given the chance.

    Comparing a child throwing their toys out of their pram to better organized insurrections makes it look more innocent. But that's not an insurrection either.

  The legal and political theory was that the Congressional vote count was a moment of power that could be interrupted and seized with relatively few people. No need for tanks in that case. Most people attacking the Capitol were unorganized protestors, who were gathered as cover for the real effort, which was quite well organized. It was well described in Congressional hearings; people were convicted of conspiracy; lawyers have been disbarred, etc.
