You going to overthrow the most powerful nation in the world with piss and four guns?

Well I looked into it, and there were 4 confirmed people who brought guns. I'm certain there were others who were never discovered, but clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government. I'm certain that some of the more extreme members were capable of violence and even murdering certain politicians, but that has always been true. It has also always been wrong and we should never act like it's ok no matter who is attempting it.

I'm not sure exactly what they were trying to do on Jan 6, but the fact nobody had guns, there was no clear plan, and it didn't even come close to working, makes it significantly less of a problem than straight up murder of the opposition and the entire government. Actually not sure why I'm even having this conversation. You have to be either insane or trolling me.

Lol I can't help myself, especially on lemmy. Some of the takes are so insane I can't help but engage.

January 6 is not even close to the same league as assassination of political rivals and overthrowing the Supreme Court, and if you think it is then you are either insane or are willfully blinded by partisanship.

Yes, and that was insane and unacceptable.

Maybe, but Trump unifies the left just as much. If Trump died, how many on the left would continue to hold their noses and vote Biden?

It's almost as if they are leveraging and exaggerating fear for their own gain.

Lol death camps, you all need to settle down.

Good luck
