Eric was literally there!
Real life events manipulated him? Is he easily manipulated too?

Live TV? You mean of the 100's of thousands of people there, the selective footage that is designed to manufacture outrage? The same crews that would say it was a mostly peaceful protest if this happened the other way around? 

You literally believe this was an insurrection, even though nobody brought guns, they almost all went home of their own volition, and the police force let them in. I don't care if Eric was there. I respect his take on the matter, but there is PLENTY of evidence that this was allowed. Meanwhile, we have footage of capital police changing out of civilian clothes, saying they were undercover as ANTIFA, Ray Epps hasn't been prosecuted, and the only person that called for reinforcement of police was Trump, lol. Not only that, just to poke holes in Eric's account, the agitation began WHILE most people were still at Trump's rally. I have no doubt people were angry. Oh, and here's another shocker... Trump is inarticulate and narcissistic. 

Not an insurrection. If you still believe that you're easily manipulated.

Do you really think, that, Joe Biden was really the candidate that earned the most popular votes in United States history? To the tune of 81.2M votes in total? More turnout over the first black president in US history in Obama who had 65M and then 69M his respective runs? 

There was plenty of evidence to support nonsense being pulled back in 2020. With the mail-in ballots, people showing evidence of votes being thrown off to the side of the road, some people being restricted from voting, etc. Really? Joe [BLEEP] Biden? The most popular candidate ever? He may have questionable emotional maturity, and, he's had his [BLEEP] handed to him publicly more than any other president I can think of during my lifetime. Especially compared to the [BLEEP] the Clinton's, Bush's, Obama and Biden have been able to get away with. 

Talk about a family being dragged through the mud? How much hush-hush do we see in the MSM with Biden's [BLEEP] up background? Again, question. Do you really think those 81.2M votes were legitimate for Biden? There's no [BLEEP] way....

These people who believe that are incapable of challenging their worldview, Caldrac. They can't even come to grips with the facts we KNOW. Our media, intelligence agencies, and politicians lied through their teeth and colluded to protect Joe Biden from his son's bad behavior while demagoguing Trump on completely fabricated charges. These people are STILL talking about Russian collusion. Even suggesting that Joe Biden is corrupt is hit with good ole' fashioned "conspiracy." You think there's going to question an election with shady numbers?

All of you MAGA apologists make this comparison and it's totally inane.  It was dumb when you first trotted it out and it's only gotten dumber.
We wouldn't be having this conversation if Trump called for protestors to take of the state Capitol building in Seattle or Lansing.  We wouldn't be having this conversation if Trump called for protestors to take over the federal courthouse in Portland or San Francisco.  We wouldn't be having this conversation if Trump called for protestors to take over the US Capitol on January 5 2021 or January 7 2021.  
All of those would be bad situations, and it was bad when the progressives and liberals did those protests over the summer of 2020, but none of it was anywhere near the same level as what Trump actually did. The continuity of the US constitution, which is ongoing going back about 235 years, depends on US Congress peaceably assembling on the 6th of January after every year that is divisible by 4. Can you try to get that through your thick skull?
