It's a crazy take, even crazier in the comments, saying it was a lawful protest compared to other left leaning ptotests that happened in the years prior. There is no argument that can be made if they don't see the blatant hypocrisy

I mean, technically yes. The courts didn't prosecute Trump for his role in the coup attempt, and Trump pardoned everyone who faced legal penalty. Everything about Jan 6 has been determined to be okay and cool by the current US government.
It's almost like things that are lawful are not inherently moral or right. Slavery is still lawful in the U.S.

Itās absurd because Biden wasnāt doing anything, like he was upholding the status quo, with limited efforts to patch up some issues.
Trump is straight up trying to gut the federal government and sell it for parts as well as legitimately trying to take away peopleās rights, if not straight up make their existence a crime.
Heās also trying to do this with a pretty weak mandate. Most people who did want him wanted him for a specific policy and ignored the rest.
So heās creating a huge amount of backlash while only appeasing a small group with each action.

He won because the dems did NOTHING to tackle the cost of living crisis all Americans were suffering. They completely lost their chance by sitting on their hands for 4 years. Of course they were gonna lose.

That and also funding and covering for a probably genocidal campaign in Gaza, including covering up a deliberately inflicted famine and then attacking and locking up all the students that complained about it.
Who knew that locking up one of the most active parts of your own base would have a negative impact on your own election?

If only someone could have responded with that... Too bad they're in a circlejerk literal walled garden safe space where any "other" (unflaired) gets booted.
