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.

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?

For starters. Didn't vote for Trump. Secondly, two wrongs (or, in the political spectrum, multiple wrongs) do not make a right. Did it ever occur to you that maybe BOTH parties are full of [BLEEP]? That, BOTH parties are in on it and bump elbows at the same dinner tables and fundraisers and events? 

That's my biggest problem with this political nonsense in our country. We're not voting to better our country, we're not voting to better ourselves or our neighbor or the globe. We're voting in SPITE of each other, we're voting based on what THEY tell you. You can't trust [BLEEP] anymore no matter where you look. 

How many of those "82.2M" voters have buyer's remorse right now with Biden in office? How many of you have the actual stones to admit you voted for a bought and paid for career politician, that's sold us out every step of the way during his career and prior to his presidency? 

Are you all incapable of compartmentalizing any of these "leaders" issues? Or, is it, all or nothing? How much truth is actually there now? Because most of you can't tell your [BLEEP] from your elbow at this point and you just take the "facts" at face value because you wear a blue tie or somebody else wears a red tie. 

This is exactly what the Plutocracy wants. This is exactly why the Plutocracy continues to win year after year. This is exactly why Politicians talk a big game but never actually back it up. Say what you want about Trump. But, he was probably right in leaning towards an insurrection. At this point? This country needs it more than those ladies on The View need an enema to get the [BLEEP] out of their system that they like to spew to their moron millions, the idiot masses.
