DC Unrest Megathread

These people are trying to get hurt so they can be martyrs and claim they are under tyranny. Sure they are also trying to steal the election, but they also want to look like victims.

Apparently, the Electoral College certificates from the states were saved by a Senate aide before the thugs swarmed the chamber. President Biden should grant the Presidential Medal of Freedom to this hero.

That person certainly is a hero.

It is far too much to ask for since the electorate has short memory, but I hope that non-Trump voters remember this in the future and hold Republicans accountable for it.

Look at these disgraceful comments: https://rrhelections.com/index.php/2021/01/06/capitol-hill-violence-open-thread/#comment-636599. If anyone thought the minds and hearts of many Trump voters would be changed by what happened today, think again. Already, they're blaming the media, Democrats, "left-wing" activists, and other targets of the right for what happened today.

Please don't link or mention that drivelous site on here

Why should we not be aware of what these people are thinking? We must be cognizant of their views, because that will provide us a way to fight against what they promote in the future.

I agree with this. More people need to know about this rhetoric because honestly there are many in this country who are unaware of the radicalism that exists.

Is this really what it took though? 4 years of this and they actually had to violently storm the capitol for people to say “OK, I’m out?”

The paycheck is gone in a few weeks so it's easy to find "moral ground" under that circumstance.

Just horrifying.

What is wrong with this country?

Trump has brought a lot of nasty people out of the woodwork. They have always been there, but having a President on their side has emboldened them.

Him having the nuclear codes was my main concern from the minute he was elected.

That's not a coup, that is an effort to make sure that a maniac doesn't misuse military forces to exact revenge over losing an election.

There is a video circulating on Parler that is calling for more trouble on the 20th.
