It never was just ‘a bunch of hillbillies’. And it wasn’t just ‘a building’.

It was an armed insurrection. At the seat of your country’s government.

Yawn. There was no real threat. Not one shot was fired. Most of the people involved seem to be getting pretty short prison sentences The government and media are going on about it and making it out to be worse than 9/11 so they can take more of your rights away and pass a new Patriot Act, and you fell for it. You guys are going on and on about it and exaggerating it times a million because you've had to deal with hearing your side be called dangerous rioters for months on end, so you took this as an opportunity to turn the tables and milk January 6th for all it's worth to paint Republicans as more violent than the rioters. Team sports, like I've said over and over again. Nothing more to it than that. I don't care for arguments about 'sacred' buildings and all of that nonsense. A building is a building. Two people died. It sucked and I disavow what happened, but two lives are two lives, and people have exaggerated this for their own agendas, whether that be using this event to take away our rights, or using it as a shield to say "see, Republicans are worse than the rioters".

Worry about your country. We'll do fine without your input. In fact, we are better off without your conspiracy loving self.

Putz.

Yes, there was. You can downplay it all you like.

Irrelevant

Because the justice system doesn't take white nationalist violence seriously even they should 

Quote: The government and media are going on about it and making it out to be worse than 9/11 so they can take more of your rights away and pass a new Patriot Act, and you fell for it. 

No, they go on about it because it was a serious attempt at overriding a fair and free election by a violent mob and it has nothing to with passing a new patriot act.

Nah we're treating it like the serious threat It was and it has nothing to do with BLM riots because the two things aren't even in the same category of threat. Burning down a target is not on par with trying to override a federal election.

Nope, one was the capital building full of the nation's leadership confirming the results of a fair free election that was threatened by an insurrection that thankfully didn't get too out of hand and it has nothing to do with taking away rights. That Fox News Bullshit 

Overall pathetic 

What rights are being taken away from you, IA, a canadian iirc, based on the worlds dumbest coup attempt... in the us?

None? Yeah, me neither. Because it didn't work. Trump republicanism is a fundamentally anti-american movement that does not believe in civil rights or even the rule of law aside from civil rights. You think it's a team sports thing, teams being left or right..but it's not. The magats turned on the right first, and continue to turn on the right today.

1923 the leader of what people thought to be* an armed insurrection in Bavaria got 5 years, but served 9 months.

* but according to you probably was *nothing*
