Nobody needs to take history lessons from you.

And back to the OP...

Remember when all of those other locations were as important the US Capitol, where #2, 3, and 4 were physically located (while #1 was not in the White House)? Me neither.

True. And when that occurred, the same outcome would have occurred with the "protests", i.e., insurrection at the Capitol. because Trump and his acolytes simply didn't want to be told "NO".

Nice post. Treating conservatives like second class citizens by this increasingly one-sided reporting is going to end up backfiring and causing major problems down the road it's like our leaders insult our intelligence and think we're too stupid to notice what they're doing.

I don't condone what happened but it would be nice if we didn't have one sided reporting within the media that I was gives progressive protests a free pass.

That is where you are wrong. Absolutely nothing that did not overturn Biden's victory would have satisfied the majority of the Trump supporters. Had the Supreme Court heard the Texas complaint but then ruled against it (as 2 of its justices implied), that majority of Trump supporters would then just have considered the Supreme Court as evil as they do now.

The majority of Trump supporters simply cannot be satisfied at anything that does not reinstate Trump and give him a 2nd term. Biden could have gotten more than 400 electoral votes and more than a 10% margin in the popular vote, and all those Trump supporters would have done is expand the scope of their conspiracy theory and screamed "Fraud! Fraud!" anyway.

I mean its hella true. To be white in america is to be privileged. We live in two different americas. One for minorities and one for white Americans. It was displayed on Tuesday in full throttle. 98 percent of the participants were far right wing white men and women. We know throughout history white americans have been doing mob attacks for 100 hundreds of years not only on its citizens but on state governments also

If democracy falls it wont be because of minorities in this country.

Were you able to criticize what happened back then? Were you and others able to turn that criticism into anything productive? Then why are you trying to deflect any criticism about what happened this week? And besides, NONE of the past actions you mention were intended or came close to murdering United States Senators and Representatives like the overtaking of the United States Capitol did this past week. And it is beyond reprehensible that you continue to be an apologist for that insurrection.

So let’s stop with this crap..let’s move forward and do our best to stop fighting with each other, stop calling names. Let’s fix our country..before it’s too late.
98 percent of those people were white. Every minority groups have a few lost souls but majority of those folks were white. They are always white when it comes to domestic terrorism . Shooting up churches theaters schools and the list goes on.

BLM and Antifa assaulted hundreds of innocent people for months. Many of them while they were just sitting at a restaurant. How many restaurant patrons did the protestors assault on Monday? None!

BLM and Antifa burned dozens of churches. How many churches were burned on Monday? None!


What rock are you living under lol. This is a false equivalency

I wish I believed that. I think Biden will become president, but he won't be inconsequential.
