and there you go again, knee-jerk. As you insist on laying the fault at Trump and his followers feet, you're just as insistent on ignoring, nay denying, the inexplicable failure of those responsible to apply security measures equal to the warnings received. You are a hypocrite of the highest order. You are doing exactly what you are accusing your opposition of.You're not asking the right questions.
We both agree the attack on Capitol Building was egregious but you're coming to the wrong conclusions based on your own confirmation bias.
You're putting the onus on Chuck, Nancy, and the Dems. Why? Why is it their fault hundreds of people stormed the building? Why were they even there in the first place? I don't get why you're covering for Trump and his followers when they were the catalyst for this, not the other way around.
Fact: Trump claimed multiple times the election was stolen from him. Fact: he tried to use a bogus legal loophole to stay in power at the expense of Joe Biden and collaborated with numerous aides and lawyers to do so. Fact: The Jan. 6th committee has questioned numerous people who were there and many of them stated that the erroneous belief in a stolen election was the motivating factor.
Ask why friggin security needed to be asked for at all. Your outrage is completely misplaced. I want the people who had a hand in attacking the peaceful transfer of power held accountable. Nancy Pelosi is no saint, but this is not on her.
I agree with whoever said they are more outraged over the trashing and burning and looting of private businesses than they are of a riot/protest at the Capital. Those who want to portray it as an insurrection are either hopelessly stupid or hopelessly biased....or both. They were pissed off people understandably upset over the use of unfortunate circumstances to skew the election that they had as much rightful stake in as the treasonous dems. That's right, the dems who manipulated the election are the traitors, and you defend their treason. The dems who staged fake investigations and fake impeachments are the real traitors to our democracy. Those who went nuts at the Capital were acting out of outrage over the real threat to democracy, and not out of mindless, destructive urges like the Antifa and BLM riots. The Capital rioters were aiming at the perceived enemy, not at whatever they could destroy.
The point is, you can have your opinion as to the culpability of the Trumpers and your ignorance can simply be disregarded or respected according to one's POV.. But when you also try to relieve Pelosi and company of any role in allowing what you so idiotically call democracy's near-death, you are roundly reviled, and you should be because at that point, you're just a hack..
