That whole stupid flashmob was at best a stupid flashmob of unarmed wine moms and minions memers, and it wasn’t even the first time the capital had been stormed.
Meanwhile we had actual assholes paying to bail and get moldy haired molotov cocktail making federal property firebombers BACK OUT ON THE STREET where they could keep doing that shit during the Floyd Riots. Actual politicians that were financing the legal services and fees for domestic terrorists as political prisoners/protesters. People burning down police precincts and shooting police.
But one fucking flash mob at the capital where the only people that died were an unarmed protester lady getting buckshotted and an old security guard that had a heart attack (and was NOT beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, good lord) and it’s histrionically spoken of like thousands of people stormed the capital with weapons or something. Holy fuck.
One day where the biggest vandalism involved a dude pooping on a government official’s desk and some trivial shit stolen like chairs and emblems and shit, compared to nearly two fucking years of arson and closing off streets and highways. It was painful to watch because of how biased it was. Like watching a mother of a little brat make a complete mess with paint, glitter and glue and say absolutely nothing, before acting like the other kid in the classroom with some brown marker on their face made the mess. The mess didn’t count and wasn’t a risk to anyone until The Other Side was guilty of even a potential fraction of it, and then suddenly we were surrounded by angry violent usurpers threatening our entire civic system. And they WEREN’T talking about the people burning down businesses and state owned buildings or federal monuments and property, just a few bad apples among otherwise peaceful protesters.
There were 0% as many fires inside the capital as had been set outside of it. Zero. 0% the number of bullets fired from the protesters side as there were from protesters against cops, feds and the rest of society. And for some reason the few people that got mowed down by cops weren’t “victims of pigs,” but “deserved it for being part of a violent tyrannical mob.”
When objectively by all metrics, the january 6th protest could not be called a coup attempt, nor a violent protest. Unless you believe the people were so inept and pathetic that they were incapable of carrying out the violence they intended, for some reason. Unless you’re willing to also say that the protests outside the capital are all marred the same way and defined by their worst actors, you can’t even say the Jan 6th protesters were all together or all violent.
But it’s a nice gotcha for that ridiculous “christopfascist America” shit. So, it’s what gets parroted.
