No one condones looting a Best Buy, or any business. But if you're gonna equate bum-rushing a Best Buy with taking over the Capitol of the United States.....!

No.

She was following baseless conspiracy theories. Those people in Congress who were counting the electoral votes weren't domestic enemies. The election wasn't fixed. Obama was hated, but didn't hurl hate at decent hard-working Americans. She was an American standing up for delusion. The votes in the Presidential election (or the Senate run-off in Georgia) weren't manipulated. People's votes did count.

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

And that is where we are today. Through a steady stream of thousands of lies by the president and right-wing fake-news networks and pundits, a sizable portion of the US believes the absurdity that the election was stolen from Trump and are willing to commit atrocities to "save the country", all over a lie.

This is how Hitler convinced Germany to exterminate 6 million Jews.

This is how Rwandan's were convinced to kill their own neighbors and friends who were of a different ethnicity.

And now we have Americans willing to place their lives on the line to rescue a nation from a phantom threat, a delusional tale created by a charismatic psychopath.

These are dangerous times for our country my friends. Dangerous times.

All I can say is I'm embarrassed to be an American. We are the laughing stock of the planet

That said, who was Ms. Babbitt "standing up against" as she rushed into the Capitol building? Congress? The 155 or so congress people and a VP who were ACTUALLY going to stand up and do her bidding by objecting and debating? What domestic enemy was she rushing into the building with several hundred other people there to do? This is NOT how you face or stand up to your domestic enemies unless they are coming at you physically. You view of patriotism and protection of the country is really anarchy.
Keep screaming in the wind, I'm sure pelosi/biden/harris/obummera and the rest will have a good laugh.

It is what happens when votes aren't counted/manipulated; people will stand up against those domestic terrorist who have infected our country through more than bullets and think America is theirs to sell out to any foreigner.

In short, it's bats**t crazy, though I'm sure there are even people on this forum who believe this idiocy.

And the guy may be a tooth fairy supporter, we have no idea. But we do know he was a follower of QAnon. He may actually be the most well-known QAnon follower there is due to his distinct outfits, attendance at all sorts of rallies and protests, and his ability to get himself in front of a camera whenever he can.
Well, I don't need to be a "QAnon supporter" to believe the world is infected with evil ("Satan," if you will). That's just a matter of opening one's eyes.

I would have never though that one day I would see scenes of banana republic in the US like many I've experienced in my country :P

This is the part that floors me: charisimatic.

I've always known that people are susceptible to the charisma and intelligence of some cult leaders. You can almost see how it happens where people fall under their spell. I never, ever thought that when this nation "fell" to some autocratic, anti-American force that was only interested in his/her own power it was going to be this Doofus. Good Lord. Really? There is zero charisma there. None. I believe this was an attraction to arrogance/bullying and the desire to be dominated while also hoping upon hope that they'd get to do some oppressing.
