Someone else mentioned this, but I concur - if Donald Trump had planned out an armed takeover of the Capitol with thousands of armed people intent on killing and mayhem - they WOULD HAVE DONE IT. That's not bragging - that's looking at the meager attempts to thwart a crowd and the paltry force that opposed them. There just wasn't enough to stop a crowd IF it had been bent on destruction.
It's amazing that an attack on this nation that took the lives of thousands of Americans - in this person's mind - comes in second to a mob attacking the Capitol and there was ONE person killed - an unarmed protester. Heck, KENT STATE had four. And there WAS shooting, then.
I don't agree that somehow, this mob was more heinous than the dozens that preceded it in the months before - the amount of destruction, the harm done, the COMPLICITY OF THE CAPITOL POLICE at some points - does not compare.
What made it different is that this time, it was that the targets of the mob were Democrats - and to them, that's unspeakable.
They don't care about loss of life or property when it's people they HATE. And yeah, I say hate. They think the unvaxxed are all Trumpers and they keep saying they want them to die. They hate them. They embrace barbarism and call it righteousness. They suggest that doctors - who treat the ENEMY in war zones and routinely place themselves in harm's way to treat the afflicted - should refuse to treat someone who hasn't been vaccinated for COVID. They hate you.
And for the millionth time - I would not have been there - I do not condone violence, it doesn't seem to work long term. At least not for most. Stopping the vote would never have changed any outcome, it was a stupid juvenile thing to do. But that is what it was - a mob going into the Capitol, JUST THE SAME AS MOBS DID all the previous summer, attacking innocents, burning, destroying, and KILLING. The Dems are only enraged because after nearly a YEAR - it was THEIR ox that got gored, and they cannot allow it.
