[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the carousel of Republican respectability moves forward. Every year we get to hear about how the Republicans of yesteryear were actually the normal good ones and the current ones are "scary" "fascist" "chilling." It's been going on since W when I was a young teen.[/quote]

I was an adult back then and this is complete BS.

We didn’t like W’s policies and certainly didn’t trust his warmongering buddies pushing WMDs, but we didn’t think he was a freaking PSYCHOPATH trying to overthrow the US. The GOP wasn’t pushing Christofascism back then. The extremists were fringe, not their party leaders and nominees.

W hired these people : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot[/quote]

We were all ready for it to be done by then. The outcome seemed unfair but at no point was anyone worried about having a peaceful transition of power. Once it was done, it was done.

So you believe using violence to disrupt electoral processes is ok and that's why it's ok that W hired the people that did this? [/quote]

:roll:

It wasn’t ok but it also wasn’t violent.

Poster child for “those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.

It was not OK and it was very violent.

On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of then–U.S. President Donald Trump in an attempted self-coup d'état two months after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. They sought to keep him in power by occupying the Capitol and preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden. The attack was ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the certification of the election results. According to the bipartisan House select committee that investigated the incident, the attack was the culmination of a seven-part plan by Trump to overturn the election.

[u]Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, three died of natural causes, and a police officer died after being assaulted by rioters. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack killed themselves within seven months. Damage caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million[/u].
