C’mon, Mitch. You don’t have any idea what antifa looks like?

They’re dressed in similar outfits and carry signs and armbands that say ANTIFA. This is why your comparison fails. If you see someone in a MAGA hat, you have a 99% certainty of walking away unharmed if you tell them you voted for Biden. If you see an Antifa member, you have a 99% certainty of being assaulted if you tell them you voted for Trump.

It’s just very comical to see your past comments on Jr, who actually ran a business, contrasted with Hunter who is a literal crack head raking in millions from foreign nationals.

You profess to be a spokesman for the plight of black Americans. Yet remain absolutely mum when 100 were shot in one weekend in the city you claim. Do Black Lives Matter or do they only matter when a race baiting lawyer or pundit opine that maybe the shots were fired by a racist cop. See: Jacob Blake and Ma’khia Bryant.

You profess to be concerned about political violence, but after more than a year of riots and protests, you have the gall to claim you don’t know what antifa is.  It’s intentional at this point if you’re truly ignorant of the damage they’ve caused, often in direct collaboration with BLM.  But I appreciate your consistency in focusing on the obscure instead of the 99.9% that paints a totally different narrative than the one you just happen to simultaneously share with paid mouthpieces for progressive group think.

Can you cite another coup attempt where the insurrectionist weren’t armed in the past 400 years?

Every single one of those shits who rioted in the Capitol should be prosecuted, fined and jailed. No exceptions.

But January 6th has been exaggerated and overhyped from day one. If it were really about concern and accountability, anyone parroting there “Insurrection” narrative would acknowledge that DC and Capitol police denied National Guard support in the days leading up to January 6th. They’d want to know why the South side entrance was completely unsecured for a mob of thousands heading in its direction. There’d be outrage that a police officer fired on an unarmed woman and killed her. But there’s not any  of that. Rather it’s political rhetoric hyping up a horrible act done by a thousand dipshits who were just as destructive as the daily riots that manifested daily in nearly every major American city during the preceding 7 months. Riots committed by people who identified with the umbrella of BLM. Leaders who members of Congress knelt with and shared a stage with days after this mob breached the White House fence, with Molotov cocktails, forcing the President to be secured in a bunker. This mob didn’t get to breach the White House because the White House, unlike the Capitol, had ample security that was able to use non-lethal means to force the rioters back. And Pelosi knelt with BLM the day after in support of the group. The group who had breached the White House perimeter a day earlier. Then Trump did his famous photo op, that last month every news outlet issued a retraction for accusing him of clearing the protesters out, silencing the first amendment. I’m sure every person here will ignore this point. An example out of many of how the media and Democratic politicians pushed absolutely false narratives to build the notion in the impressionable that Trump was putting people behind barbed wire.

Now that Trump is gone, the BLM energy the DNC can harness, has to be thrown at anything that goes against their public comments. Republican voter laws are racist, “they’re Jim Crow on Steroids.”  The Supreme Court upholds simple voter laws, and “this is the greatest threat to our Democracy since the Civil War.” If you don’t support amnesty, you’re a bigot. If you don’t think biological males should compete in women’s sports, or be legally indistinguishable from biological females, you’re a bigot. Pick any issue, and the counter is always the same. It’s always a moral argument, and if you don’t agree, you’re a piece of shit and should not share your opinions publicly.

And it all goes back to January 6th. If the narrative is “a bunch of Neo-Nazis stormed the Capitol to murder Congress and declare Trump the President for all eternity, and these neo-nazis will come back and kill everyone unless we pass these laws or enforce things our way”, you really don’t have to expend much time convincing people your ideas have any chance of achieving what you claim them to achieve.

A lot of people don’t see January 6th as an insurrection, but an unfortunate and predictable outcome after 7 months of riots, where any attempt to send federal agents or National Guard was decried as racist brown shirts in the media. How many posts are on this forum denying the existence of Antifa last Summer?

When the leaders of the other party stand in solidarity with the people who breached the White House fence in a riot with fire bombs forcing the President into a bunker, and its brushed off, I think qualifying January 6th as a horrific event unparalleled takes a little more substance than “it’s an attack on the constitution.”  After all, Biden said “no amendment is absolute.”

I have no idea what happened in Wisconsin last year, but I'm going to take your version of events with a grain of salt.  If you're going to chime in with all the free time you have to talk about fear mongering, you at least have to recognize that the US President calling voter ID laws in 2021 "Jim Crow on Steroids" or "The greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War" carries a little more weight than some pundit on a new channel at noon.  If you don't, or refuse to, don't be surprised when no one agrees with your lopsided rhetoric.

Quit watching television, ID.  You're free to parrot the inaccuracies of pundits on television without a second thought, but watching Rick and Morty or South Park is just too much freedom.  I for one feel extremely guilty I enjoyed award winning television over the years that forced me to evaluate new ideas and get exposure to people from different cultures or life experiences.  I don't like books either, so please stop reading any material you'd like in your "free" time.

I know we're exiting a pandemic that kept people indoors for 15 months (and longer if some politicians had their way), but enjoying a TV show at 11:00 at night on a Sunday is just beyond the pale.

I was worried about Trump winning CPAC's strawpoll over the weekend for 2024 until I looked up historical winners and found that CPAC has only picked the winning nominee a handful of times.  Hopefully this is the norm and not the exception.
