[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lemme tell you what it was about. Those people just wanted to be heard by Congress, literally. There was never any plan to overgrow the government, they just wanted their elected representatives to... represent them. Never was any acknowledgement of the allegations, everyone largely just ignored them or immediately declared no fraud without any appearance of looking into it.

Don't give me any counterpoints about how they're wrong, don't care- I'm simply stating what their point of view and intention was. [/quote]

1) the time to be heard was at the ballot box. Disrupting the ceremonial electoral count was anti-constitution
2) they wanted to be heard because they were upset about an election that wasn't actually stolen, that didn't have material fraudulent votes cast and the final result didn't go their way.
3) it was clear this was a three pronged attack on our country:
- fake electors scheme
-fake Pence send the votes back to the states or throw the electoral count to the congress
-violent coup

Fortunately none of these worked, but not for lack of trying. There was actually a war room in the Willard Hotel, with the likes of John Eastman and others coordinating all three efforts.

People don't air their grievances with Congress by bearing weapons like guns, knives, bear spray and using flags as spears etc, at least not people with good intentions.[/quote]

Exactly.  They wanted their "outrage heard by Congress" - yet their outrage was ENTIRELY based on lies fed to them by Trump & Company.  And they way in which they expressed it - and were encouraged to express it - was illegal, violent, and un-democratic.

Those are just the facts.  We need for this nation to leave the lies behind.[/quote]

I would bet the poster justifying the 1/6 insurrection has no idea that yesterday Giuliani admitted to lying about the Georgia election workers having falsified votes. They don’t talk about that sort of thing on Fox, OAN and Newsmax.[/quote]
