Question

Context.

Sri Lankans broke into their Presidential Palace (not the seat of government) and did so as retaliation for the very corrupt and self-serving fiscal policies of their President and Prime Minister.

The people led a revolt against ineffective leadership.

In America, a failed former President organized and fostered a coordinated strike at the Capitol in a bid to stop a democratic process from completing the peaceful transfer of power.

A wanna-be dictator incited local terror groups to which he had ties into a failed coup.

Is that easy enough for you to understand or do you need me to draw on a poster with sharpie?

Easy it's cause it was conservative that did it. If it was democrat they would said they were fighter of freedom total hypocrite.

Everyone know the election was a fake even on French tv they showed it was fake.

In France too because supported them cause they did things similar to the yellow vest.

I’m not aware of the situation in Sri Lanka.

As for Americans, on January 6th…. I mean, it doesn’t really help their case when everything they did was based on alleged fraud that didn’t actually happen. Like the claims of fraud were the ACTUAL fraud, ain’t that a bitch😂 So unless the Sri Lankans have their own conman that lied through their teeth to them and are inspiring them to do whatever they’re doing for erroneous reasons, I think history will look favorably on the Sri Lankans, lmao

Well, a number of them were invited in by the Capitol Police, and we still haven't seen a lot of the video from that day, nor do we have a full picture of what actually happened.

At any rate, leftists consider anyone who doesn't agree with their totalitarianism to be 'domestic terrorists".

The only people calling them "domestic terrorists" are those who have allowed themselves to be deluded into thinking that this whole January 6th narrative is a winning issue.

Because 90% of the population compared to maybe 100 in America.

Did it ever occur to you to understand the motives of these groups.

They're protesting in Sri Lanka because of mismanagement of the economy, the subsequent economic crisis and severe inflation, daily blackouts, as well as a shortage of fuel, domestic gas and other essential items.

Whereas the terrorists of January 6th we're trying to overthrow a Democratic Republic and the results of a fair election based on the lies of an infantile man-child. They rioted for one-party rule with Trump as their fascist God emperor.

context, as simple as that...

just like a surgeon opening your ribcage for a live saving procedure... not the same thing as a junky that is high AF... cracking open your ribcage with the intention to eat your heart just because the voices told him to do so

Probably because what the US did is not even close to an insurrection it was more like people misbehaving.
