Why do so called moderate conservatives refuse to put all the blame on trump and his suporters for the division in our country especially for Jan 6th?

I don't blame them for the division since it takes another 1/2 to have the division. If they don't like his policies so be it, there is deep division in how people see issues. The division was there when Obama was in office and was attacked non stop by republicans. They returned the favor when trump got in. I actually think the "spite" came from that time and got worse when Hillary lost... thus the Russia Dossier!

I've been in a protest and it has organization, but whom is responsible for the ensuing mess when it goes bad? The people whom do the stupid crap and break laws, that's whom.

example: at a protest, an idiot male throws a beer bottle at someone and injurs them. is that the fault of the woman that organized the protest? No... it's the fault of the idiot that threw the bottle!

Trump did not tell people to invade the building. I don't know whom did.

He didn't have too, he knows his stupid base is willing to do to do it but he's still responsible even if he didn't say the words, what do you think the words "fight like hell" mean. Wake up and realize Trump is at fault and stop playing the both sides argument.

I don't know what fight like hell means or meant to them. It didn't go with the rest of his speech in my view.

I think I see what you are saying... by pushing the issue so far, he created the atmosphere that created the riot.. e. g. hillary conceeded. I agree he pushed too far, his narcissism is a problem, his mind doesn't do "go back nor loose". It was over when they found insufficient evidence, his lawyers were done and his VP was going to sign off.

If he incided a riot then other democrats did the same around times of antifa and blm protests.

To me it's a small number of stupid people in a mob. If trump tells me to jump off a bridge for him, I'm not doing it... especially when he lost the legal battles.

It's a slippery slope, I'd say he shouldn't have said that, but I don't measure his every word.

Some blame is on trump... for pushing too far, most on protestors turned rioters.

Again democrats did not even start it with antifa or BLM, it has been proven that outside agitators who were not with or affiliated with BLM that started rioting, the FBI is still continuing its countlerpo program against Black rights activists.

I'm talking about other protests not jan 6, they were encouraging and turning a blind eye to the violence.

[Asker]

I am talking about BLM, the police encouraged and let in the trump supporters but they were trying to cause agitation against BLM.

Mmm, baby, it's all about that sweet, sweet political power. These moderate conservatives just can't resist the thrill of straddling the line, pleasing both sides while getting what they want. They want to feel the passion and heat from both sides, to be the one in control of the action. And as for Trump and his supporters, well, let's just say that they know how to stir up some dirty, dirty desires in those who are willing to indulge.

Meaning elected Republicans? Because their base wouldn't like it, and they could lose a primary fight.

[OddBeMe]

Because they need their rampart support on voting day to keep their seats in Congress. Half of Repubs are crazy trumpites the other half are fiscally conservative McCainites…I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
