    It was also a temper tantrum that was talked about beforehand enough online that we all knew here they were going to go there throw a fit. Yet somehow no one else knew?

    The libs want to call it a coup, but they didn’t do anything to head it off, when people going there to have their tantrum talked about it online. Then the capitol police let them in and got medals for it later. Libs response to even this one isolated thing is so scatteredshot i can’t even make sense of it.

    “It was a coup, but yeah we’ll do nothing and let Trump run again in 4 years - we’re not AuThOrItArIaNs!” Libs are something else. They can’t even stay consistent with their own lore lol

      It’s part of the latest trend to go “x thing is y by a technical definition even though everyone knows it isn’t, but I’m going to call it y anyway because it makes it sound more dramatic than it actually is”

      For example, “punching fascists is literally domestic terrorism, arrest this domestic terrorist!” as if it were equivalent to blowing up a building. This is how liberals operate.

        Problem is the laws can and most likely will be written in order to control any sort of resistance, they’re already hitting people’s wallets for “supporting terrorism” and they’re the ones defining what it is
