Ulti trying to take a stance to garner the most attention is not surprising.

Wow, Ulti was wrong about something. I'm absolutely SHOCKED... That he got his head out of his ass long enough to admit it. That being said, nope, time is long gone.

Wait the guy who said people should just take supplements and get more sun instead of wearing masks was wrong!?!?

And here I thought we were containing this to the politics thread.
The person who made it blocked a bunch of people so they couldn't talk in it. That's an echo chamber, not containment.

You did not have that energy when Antifa and BLM were burning down entire cities. It is not a difficult thing to disavow all violence for any reason.

This twitter is exactly right. The problem is when you condone things on your side but denounce them on the other side. I have stated it a million times that consistency and not being contradictory is very important.

Storming the capitol to overthrow an election is not comparable.

This continues to be a disingenuous argument.

said it in another topic but while i get the comparison it's basically comparing a 20-30 with a 70-80. though due to the lack of firearms, maybe more of a 60-70.
like yes, there's hypocrisy. if your point is just that people are hypocritical, fair.

but the scale is just significantly different. like i get what you're saying and that all of the previous stuff was totally bad but this one is just that much worse.

Whats funny is that the main defense so far from the POTUS has been these are patriots

Like maybe we wont even get the line of people trying to divert who actually did it this time. Just the camp of this is fine versus everyone else

Absolutely it is terrible and has a worse scale, but that doesn't make the others right which was proposed. When you condone a lesser evil, the evil keeps amping up because of the perceived okayness of being evil in the first place.

The ONLY good thing to come from this is when they reconvene, there wont be objections to the certification.

I'm highly skeptical. There's bound to be at least 1 stupid fuck who'll cause a commotion.

It's crazy. I already hearing everyone in my area saying Trump didn't tell them to do that. This isn't Trump's fault. And, I mean, that's true... But, they aren't saying the people doing it are wrong either. They are immediately just defending Trump.

It has been over generalized in the past, but the people still on team Trump at this point are eerily like a cult. He can do no wrong, nothing is his fault, and he's the only one that can save us.

I mean, he tells them their votes are being stolen from them and they need to fight to save the country from Congress certifying the votes

Thats not a direct order to storm the Capitol but its not far off

He legitimately believes Congress can overturn these votes though, and this protest was meant to intimidate them to do it.

His end game has no actual basis in reality, but he has never shown any knowledge of how government ACTUALLY works

I'm not sure if he legitimately believes he won and was cheated or not. What I do know is that if this were a coup, there would have been gun battles in the capital today.

This is what happened in England in 1648 and France in 1793. Thankfully it didn't turn out that way today. Those escape passages out of Congress may have saved our democracy today.
