Ideally yes, but in this case I wouldn't mind. The level of danger they are posing is extremely high. I think it's justifiable at this point.
Would you mind if they were BLM people overrunning police?

This reminds me of a few days ago where Police where pushing back Proud Boys and such... and ResetERA was cheering on the police for pushing them back, using rubber bullets, and tear gas... and lamenting that they weren't shooting them "like they would brown people".

It's funny watching principles flip when the affiliation is flipped.

On the flip side, it was funny watching Proud Boys fighting back against police, stomping on their Blue Lives Matter flags, and saying Fuck the Police in response.

First response is gold.

BTW: This post was in bad taste. I obviously care about the safety of everyone first and hope everyone stays safe and all the perpetrators of this heinous act are rounded up and punished accordingly by the law.

Ted is now bitching about how democracy is in crisis, and how the fact that so many people dont trust in the system is bad for democracy. In the same speech that hes about to object to certifying the results.

Cruz today is better than Cruz of 4 years ago.
Let that sink in to just how bad he is. This is a humbler more restrained version of his old self.

So you're saying that if your voices aren't being heard (even if it's for misguided and objectively stupid fucking reasons like this one), rioting may be the only way to get your point across without it being ignored? How about that?

Meanwhile, compare the police response here to the BLM protests (which were literally not anywhere near this level until provoked and agitated). Says all you need to know about this country and the state of policing in it, really.

I am actually legit stunned they let them get to literally steps outside the Senate chamber.

I mean, you knew they were going to use the kid gloves when compared to BLM but I figured there would be a point where they'd have no choice but to take them off and I figured breaching the United States Capitol and getting within steps of the VP and Senate was on the other side of that line.

Yep.

But it looks like the Calvary may have just arrived.

It's an active act of treason/sedition/whatever you want to call it, so technically they can mobilize just about anything they want.

Really? That's not what it looks like based on the last few presidential elections there.

2008: Democrats by 12.50% (5.22% above national margin)
2012: Democrats by 6.68% (2.82% above national margin)
2016: Democrats by 3.42% (1.33% above national margin)
2020: Democrats by 2.39% (2.06 below national margin)

Personally I don't know that much about NV (and they have the incumbency advantage in the 2022 Senate race), but this definitely doesn't look like a state trending towards the Democrats.

At the state level, Nevada was purple-leaning-red until fairly recently - the Senate and House were both purple, and Republicans had control of the governorship for 20 years. Now there's a Democratic governor, two female Democratic Senators, and 3/4 of the House members are blue. Actually, a Democrat just won a contested house race in a district that's pretty clearly gerrymandered to give Republicans the edge.

Trump was always bound to do well here. He's the country's most known "hotel guy" spending lots of money in a state almost entirely dependent on the hotel industry. IMO, comparing his numbers to Obama's doesn't paint the most accurate picture of congressional Nevada trends.
