    No, I fully believe that there’s idiots on the right. I’ve met some of them. But that particular instance glows, because they were literally waved inside, and then left to wander for hours. Does that make sense to you, that everything happened like they said?

      I keep being reminded of their existence as well.

      But that particular instance glows, because they were literally waved inside, and then left to wander for hours.

      I mean, it’s a lot easier than admitting that some of the police might be sympathetic to their cause. Was Sicknick in on it? Was Goodman? Was the guy who who shot Ashli Babbitt? It’s amazing what lengths the feds will go to just to make Republicans look bad.

      Don’t get me wrong, I believe there was involvement on the federal level: The head of the Executive Branch lied to them for months about the results of the election, then told them to march on the capitol and fight. Same guy delayed deploying the National Guard for as long as he could. Same guy told the insurrectionists he loved them. Did the shadowy triple parentheses deep state illuminati cabal force him to do that?

      You ignored my question: I’m glad the insurrection failed. Are you?

        I’m not sure if it was an insurrection, and I’m not sure it failed, whatever it was.

          Your evasive answer indicates that you know it was an insurrection but don’t want to admit it, and that you would have preferred a result in which Trump was installed as dictator.

          If this isn’t the case, you should have given a direct answer.

            Evasive? I thought it was pretty clear. I think the feds were in on it, and that it wasn’t a real attempt at an insurrection. If it was, they’d have brought guns into the building, and they never did.

              I think the feds were in on it, and that it wasn’t a real attempt at an insurrection.

              So you’re simultaneously casting the insurrection as not that bad and blaming it on a nebulous conspiracy without proof. What “evidence” you’ve provided is a question that doesn’t withstand the lightest scrutiny, and the assertion that they were unarmed. That last one is a fucking lie.

              Guy Refitt, Christopher Alberts, and Lonnie Coffman have already been sentenced on weapons charges related to January 6. You willing to bet there aren’t any more? Or are you gonna pretend they’re feds too because you can’t admit it when people you agree with do shit you want them to do?

              You’ve consistently sidestepped the question of if you had preferred that the insurrection you keep lying about had succeeded in installing Trump as dictator.

              Why are you so unwilling to answer if you want Trump as dictator?
