Yawn. Did they attempt to set any police precincts on fire? Set up an autonomous zone? Topple statues? Set historical churches on fire? Cause billions in damages? Violently attack police officers?

No they've been a bit more circumspect since that Jan 6 thing and all the resulting prosecutions.

I guess we can agree then that prosecution of folks who violate the law should be subject to equal punishment regardless of political affiliation.

January 6th wasn't an insurection......

More Whataboutism.

BUT

The act of revolting violently against civil/political authority or against an established government is literally the definition of insurrection.

Sure.

Definition of insurrection: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

The stated goal of Trump supporters on Jan 6 was to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the election. They did so by attempting to seize the Capitol building where Congress was literally counting electoral college votes and prevent them from doing so. Their obvious goal was to overturn the results of the election and ensure their leader rather than the person who actually won the election remained in power. If that's not a revolt against civil authority, I'm not sure what is.

To stop an illegal election is NOT an insurrection.

And what happened to Ted Cruz LEGAL objections???

BTW.

It's literally on video, GOP members chanting "Hang Mike Pence". They literally built gallows on the lawn of the Capitol The Smithsonian is literally gathering artifacts from this day for a future exhibit.

Alas ...

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

So all of the antifa and BLM riots were insurrections. Thanks for clarifying.

This is more whataboutism.

By and large, I don't think Antifa and BLM riots were insurrections .... I'm not sure if Dunkin Donuts, Best Buy, 7Eleven, etc. has any authority. I think one could argue the protests around Portland's courthouse as well as Seattle's Capitol Hill protest camp may qualify.

Then again I don't know your point? Violence of any kind should have consequences. Participants of January 6th, Seattle, Portland, etc. are learning of this fact. If your point is that somehow what happened in Portland and Seattle is somehow the same as January 6th, I'd say its false equivalence.

Looks like a standard MAGA rally to me.

Pretty much mainstream for todays Republican party.

False equivalence, whataboutism. Words with hidden meaning of "I'm loosing the argument, time to divert and distract."

No hidden meaning, just pointing out your and others fallacious arguments.

Just the opposite, in fact. He's pointing out that the arguments are not on point and do not actually address the subject at hand.

The armed group arrested in Massachusetts turned out to be all black and after finding out that they were not a white group dropped the story like a hot potato.
