Probably true, but no excuse for Trumps deficiencies.

No. It’s about bitter & angry unmotivated slacker losers that want everything handed to them.
It’s the equivalent of a spoiled child throwing a tantrum in the toy store because they can’t just have what they want, when they want it.

As a lifelong Republican, I will not vote for any Republican who supports the trash that participated in it or supports Trump who incited it.
Guess you won't be voting for Republican then, at least not the winning one.

This should've been everyone's biggest clue that the OP was not about Jan. 6.

You got it! And, so many questions remain as how it went down, as anyone from anywhere for any reason having access doesn't make any sense. I believe it was meant to be peaceful, but someone facilitated their entry, and some of those inside were there to make matters worse than they were meant to be.

I think the people should have been allowed to be present, and that was their intention. Remember how people outside the group were there causing issues?

Fighting for Democracy will likely get more prevalent as the government attempts to take our rights away, well, the ones they haven't already taken. Many of us still have the spirit that brought our ancestors here, and we will not give up! "Live free or die."

BLM is a terrorist organization that has called for the death of cops!!!!

BLM has nothing to do with social justice!!!! It spreads hate fear and violence using lies false stories and twisted facts!!!!!!!!

This thread would have been better if the OP clarified that it has NOTHING to do with "1/6" at the Capitol. The poll is flawed because of this too.

Yes burning, looting, vandalism, threatening people, violence, throwing maltovs, shooting unarmed guards, beating people up, demanding people to give them their homes..

Calling it an insurrection is really a form of TDS.

True, not even close to what happened in may, if they really wanted to take over they would have come with guns…. Like in In 1971 radical liberals bombed the capital trying to kill republican senators.

There are always multiple injuries to law enforcement officers during riots and mostly peaceful protests. But in most of those it doesn’t fit the narrative so that info is glossed over.
The poster was talking about the may blm riots. It is easy to mistake what it was about since the media totally forgot about it.
