    misinformation-for-pay that may have led to the January 6th Capitol Riot

    It was a temper tantrum

    It was a bunch of white people who were mad their guy didn’t win

    There was no secret conspiracy, there was no plan to undermine the USA

    Just a bunch of jet ski dealers and hvac guys who refused to play by the rules they demand for everyone else

    Also, I refuse to call it Jan 6, like it’s something along the lines of 9/11

    Hell, I might even stop calling it 9/11

      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

    Doing an epic walk and talk while smearing shit on the walls

    Doing an epic verbal takedown of the hypocrisy of being labeled “less than lethal” as a man fatally tases himself in the balls

    Somber horn music and a snare drum roll while a cop gets klobbered in the dome with an American flag

    Montage of chuds doxxing themselves on national TV while doing interviews. “I’m John Slabbaport from Shremstown Pennsylvania.” “I’m Flank Didger from Tungsten Ohio.” “I’m Molissa Rugger from Plemspray Arizona.”

      I heard he didn’t even include the pig in the Chicago Seven movie he made, so it’ll probably just be about FBI guys and congresscritters investigating it or something, while striding importantly around the capital of course, and with many impassioned speeches about rights and democracy and shit.

    That cop liberals wanted to make Time’s person of the year is probably going to be the main character. There’s also going to be some Republican politician who’s going to give a speech about how we’re better than this and need to overcome our differences, because a nation divided blah blah blah, then everyone stands in stunned silence and claps afterwards.
