This is the real bombshell. Not a bunch of hillbillies breaking into a building and getting their anger off of their chests. That's pretty meh. Good thing this didn't happen, but it's insane that this was even a possible recommendation made to the POTUS.
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".
