  • Trump also said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

    If you shake someone’s hand and also punch them, does the handshake cancel out the punch?

    You’re being slimy and dishonest again. Trump is a politician, he talks out both sides of his mouth. Talking out both sides of your mouth does not cancel out.

    I’ll give an hyperbolic example. “Instagram star breaks DC window” = followers are insurrectionists. Anyone liking a post is barred from the ballot.

    You can’t tell the difference between double tapping an Instagram post and offering a presidential pardon?




  • Violent storming of the Capitol is insurrectionalist and obvious (like assault)

    That was not your original statement but it’s a lot more correct now, and if we can agree that an obvious insurrection is an insurrection, that’s a very good start.

    We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore

    I don’t see any honest case to be made that this isn’t incitement of insurrection.

    Additionally, the 14th Amendment does not require you to prove it was an incitement, it’s enough to provide aid or comfort to the insurrectionists. Of which there are numerous examples, including Trump repeatedly offering to pardon the insurrectionists.
















  • US citizens are moving left, the government is moving right, because right wingers vote and leftists don’t.

    Not voting: fucking around

    Not being represented in government: finding out

    We certainly have moved right in as a country in lots of ways, and somehow we’re on the verge of lots of people voting in a dictator.

    Yeah the people who most consistently vote for the last 50 years are the ones most likely to enjoy a dictator.
