People claiming Trump has 75 million supporter, you are wrong. 75 million voted for him, but a large portion voted for him because of the R next to his name or because they thought he was the lesser of two evils.
After recent events his support has eroded.
I'd bet less than .5% of those 75 million are full blown QAnon brainwashed, and an even smaller percentage would act with violence. Trumpers like to think they are all being victimized, but the reality is that non-Trump voters (not just leftists, but independents and moderate Republicans) are angry with the ones who are acting violent, not the ones that are peacefully protesting or disappointed with the election results. The Trump protestors that stayed on the Mall and peacefully waved their flags and chanted were exercising their American freedom to do so. The ones that broke through barriers and entered Capitol grounds are criminals, and all of them need to be arrested and serve some time, even if they did not necessarily vandalize or act violently. Any normal person would be arrested if they did that. And the ones that actually entered the Capitol building, broke into offices, destroyed furniture and equipment, spread feces on the ground, etc. and stole things need to serve hard time in a federal prison.

I would be extremely surprised if that wasn't the case. The Capitol Police may be clownshoes of questionable loyalty and competence, but the FBI isn't much given to amateurism. I'd in fact expect a few thousand screenshots of this forum to be in a database somewhere.

*wonders how the arrests of the invaders to the Capitol are coming along*
Did you had that same mindset towards the rioters burning down cities over the past 6 months?

Yes, taking out ANTIFA arsonists destroying police buildings and civil war statues won't be hard.

Yep it sure is.

If they are, I hope Antifa won't be participating this time, so there isn't violence. I doubt Antifa will be interested as they did terrify the Congress members enough to not let those that wanted an audit of the votes to not have that. Obviously, there was cheating, and they were desperate enough to infiltrate the peaceful group to move the agenda of the left forward. Sadly, our elected officials have no backbone when it comes to standing up for our country.

https://nypost.com/2021/01/07/known-...-riot-sources/

"The infiltrators were recognized due to their participation in New York City demonstrations, and were believed to have joined in the rioting so that Trump would get blamed, the source said."

And, the Washington Times bowed to censorship, but got it right in the beginning:

"A Washington Times report initially claimed two other protesters were actually Philadelphia-based Antifa members — citing a retired military officer with access to facial recognition software — but the outlet deleted the article after the software company told Buzzfeed News that the story was “outright false.”

I think we know who incited the violence, and it was not OUR President!
