Which is, as stated in the government report, are the current biggest threat to the US, and have been perpetrated nearly always for the last dozens of years at least, by right wing extremists.

That's on you. Antifa vs right wing extremists, tell me who did the most casualties in the last 40 years and who exactly is imitating who. Stop deflecting. | ||

Which makes this whole thing even more pointless : if they didn't kill several democratic senators, then their attempt failed. https://twitter.com/Tom_Winter/status/1346904469422833664 This is an unorganized coup attempt. McConnell and Pence were there to certify the results. You may remember how incensed Trump got with both of them for not going along with his plan. You can't just march into the Senate and kill enough Senators to stop an incoming President. The electoral college already voted. | ||

I legitimately have no idea what you're trying to say here. Antifa definitely aren't members of the national guard and almost none are in prison. Reporters are speculating that some of these are white nationalists based on their flags, who ARE frequently made in prisons. | ||

Gimme your honest odds that this mob of however many thousand successfully keep Trump in office beyond January 20th. No they're not going to succeed. But this is still way beyond the pale of what is remotely acceptable to support. Following the post-election events, do you still think Trump was a better choice than Biden? It should be fairly easy by now, regardless of your political affiliation. (unless one is an actual fascist. ) | ||

Trump's refusing to deploy the actual military, so only DC police are available. Those were BPD and probably had federal armor supplied to them. (BTW, this is now a very good argument for DC to be its own state or something similar: Trump shouldn't be able to prevent the defense of congress from terrorists like this). | ||

He is saying that they are imitating antifa, and that the national guard should act, and they should serve prison time. The dot separates the sentences :-) | ||

No i'm pretty sure the need for that was 4 years ago. | ||
