Ok! You sit there and rank violence. If the other side is "even worse" then you win! |

| Eh, I don’t think it will come to that. Though if things look bad, I may get a couple of red hats. Have MAGA family, so know what to talk about to back up the hat. |

It’s ICE. And the last time I checked, the identity of the people who set the car fires wasn’t known. Given that despite extreme provocation, the protests have been largely peaceful, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that MAGA supporters were trying to light a powder keg. |

That’s right. What they’re doing is much, much worse. |

ICE is executing the 'due process will not be followed with regard to immigration' policy of the White House.
So are people saying that those who are combating ICE agents should be bearing arms? Would that be correct? And the rogue, amateur weapons like bricks and Molotov cocktails are not in line with the 2A? |

I’ll be posting a slap in your face exchange between a White House reporter and your Führer. |

Weren't there fewer than 1,000 protesters on J6? How many other protests turned violent that can be called "MAGA" happened? Am scratching head trying to think of them. How many rioters are in LA right now? How many people rioted in the summer of George Floyd? That alone tells you how paranoid most of you are about "MAGA" that you can't even see the fatal flaw in your beliefs. |

Does that fall under the definition of tyranny? I’d say meeting peaceful protests with “very heavy force” during the military parade is tyrannical. |

Takes two seconds to fact check this. No, there weren’t only 1000 people at the capitol on January 6. From Grok: About 10,000–12,000 protesters were at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, with 800–2,500 entering the building. |

If you recall from 1/6 videos MAGA was ramming flag poles at police and beating officers with them. They were spraying hoses at officers. They were pushing and stomping the police. They ensnared one officer in a door, who looked like he was struggling to breathe. Why does it matter how many people were there? None of that behavior has happened to police in LA. Has there been graffiti? Yes, in both LA and on 1/6. Has a car been on fire? Yes, in LA. Has there been a gallows? Yes, on 1/6. Only 1/6 was a riot. |

No police officers died on January 6, 2021, during the U.S. Capitol attack. However, several officers who responded to the event died in the days, weeks, or months following, with some deaths linked to the trauma of the attack. Here’s a breakdown based on available information: Officer Brian Sicknick (U.S. Capitol Police): Sicknick was assaulted with pepper spray during the attack and collapsed later that night. He died on January 7, 2021, from two strokes, which the Washington, D.C., medical examiner ruled as "natural causes" due to acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts caused by a blood clot. While initial reports suggested his death was directly due to injuries from the riot, the medical examiner found no evidence of injuries or an allergic reaction to the pepper spray, though his experience on January 6 was noted as a contributing factor. Officer Howard Liebengood (U.S. Capitol Police): Died by suicide on January 9, 2021, three days after the attack. He worked multiple long shifts without sleep following the event, and his family attributes his death to the mental health toll of the attack. Officer Jeffrey Smith (Metropolitan Police Department): Died by suicide on January 15, 2021, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He sustained a concussion during the attack, which was misdiagnosed, and his widow’s lawsuit claims the traumatic brain injury from the riot contributed to his death. A medical examiner hired by his widow ruled his death was linked to the events of January 6. Officer Gunther Hashida (Metropolitan Police Department): Died by suicide on July 29, 2021. He was a responder to the Capitol attack, and his death is among those associated with the event’s aftermath, though authorities noted personal struggles beyond January 6 may have contributed. Officer Kyle DeFreytag (Metropolitan Police Department): Died by suicide on July 10, 2021. Like Hashida, he responded to the Capitol attack, and his death is linked to the psychological impact of the event, though no direct causal connection was confirmed by authorities. |

Please. MAGA are the most beta men alive. The coastal MAGA elite all are beholden to a financial backer telling them how to think and act. The elected southern gents are all fine with a dictator if it means their wife can stay home and their kid can celebrate Christmas in high school. The MAGA electorate talks tough and but their “don’t tread on me license plate” really means “don’t tread on me too lightly,” maybe because a large portion are secretly gay. Real men do none of the above. |

Not only were there thousands of rioters that day, but the cost to fix the damage to the capitol annd address the consequences of that day are much higher than anything seen in LA. - By April 2022, federal authorities updated the property damage estimate to $2.73 million, incorporating costs from the Architect of the Capitol, Capitol Police, House Chief Administrative Office, and Senate Sergeant at Arms. - Broader Costs: The total cost, including security enhancements, National Guard deployment, and mental health counseling, was estimated at $30 million in February 2021, with potential for higher costs if security measures persisted. A 2023 Government Accountability Office report cited $2.7 billion, including damages, security, and and agency costs. |
