Does this quote sum up what happened on Jan 6, 2021?

[OtterMan68]

Yes, perfectly

No, it's not absurd to believe the 2020 election was stolen, nor was an absurd to storm the capital

Was it absurd to believe the 2020 election was stolen then storm the capital to "Stop the steal!" Was it an atrocity to break windows, smash in doors, assault capital police, steal from congressional offices, put up a gallows, chant "Hang Mike Pence," etc.

[loveslongnails]

I have a T-shirt that says that. When I wear it and maga-hat wearers or Trumpers see it, they have no idea it's referring to themselves and immediately say "cool shirt about the liberals, man ". The next question is "who's Voltaire"? I tell them he's the French guy who invented mustard in the 1700's, and they believe me.

[msc545]

That is actually a pretty good description

[exitseven]

There are plenty of accounts of fraud that went uninvestgated, rules were broken, ballots were counted that had no way to determine their authenticity. All people wanted was a fair incmvestgation and a thorough hearing by the courts. Rushing this through just made the democrats look guiltily than they already looked

[Dargil]

But with the Left, the end justifies the means. Then they want to "put it behind us" and "just move on" and "just forget the past and focus on present issues".
Jeffrey Dahmer probably felt that way.

[msc545]

Even if any of that were true, which it wasn't, none of the alleged acts was sufficient to change the results of the election. Get over it.

[exitseven]

@msc545 Nobody knows for sure and this is why over half the country is angry.

[msc545]

Only half or less than half the country believes the excuses.

[exitseven]

@msc545 I have seen accounts that more americans think it wa stolen. Some people are democrats. The just will not admit to it.

[msc545]

I'm a Democrat.

[AngryCarl]

@exitseven They got a fair hearing in the courts. The courts threw it out. Too bad it was never reported on Faux News.

[exitseven]

@AngryCarl The one that I saw was a woman who observed a white van pull up in front of the polling place in Georgia. This was after the place had closed and everyone was sent home. Somebody came out from the polling place that was supposed to be closed for the night and met with the driver of the van. He got out and they brought several boxes of ballots out of the back and brought them inside. Then like magic when the polling place opened the next day Biden was ahead of President Trump when he was far behind the day before. The woman had cell phone video as evidence. It was ruled that since the cell phone video could only show that there were boxes with pieces of paper in them that were approximately the size of ballots and could not show exactly what was printed on those pages that there was no proof of fraud. That was the extent of the investigation. Why couldn't the FBI track down that van and question the driver? What about the guy that came out from inside the polling place? Why couldn't he be subpoenaed to testify what was in those boxes? The FBI is still combing the country looking for people who were in DC on Jan6th but they could not figure out how to find out what was in those boxes? The reason is obvious. The democrats did not want to know because they know that the election was stolen.

[Dargil]

It was a political protest, orchestrated by the FBI, CIA, Capitol Police and The Left. It got out of hand by some people's lack of self discipline and planned inducements by the Democrat party and weaponized government. Trump walked into a land mine.

[gorydetails]

I don't know why your panties are in a bunch. It was a mostly peaceful protest. Those are ok in America.

[OtterMan68]

Hang Mike Pence!

Couldn't have put it better, Voltaire.

[FunkyMonkee]

He had every right to question the election and did NOT cause an insurrection! That was Ray Epps and the antifa mob!!

[KrakenAttackin]

Right, as opposed to BLM who burned,. looted, and murdered.

[OtterMan68]

so only one can be an atrocity?
Why is it when you MAGA guys ask a question about Biden, and someone brings up Trump you say "this isn't about Trump" But here you are bringing up something off topic

[KrakenAttackin]

@OtterMan68 I am not a "MAGA man", I am simply tired of the left wing, wildly hypocritical, bullshit.

[ProbablyClueless]

Rioting at the capitol was absurd

[exitseven]

There was a million angry people in DC that day. I think the protesters showed an amazing amount of restraint. Only 150 people actually went in the Capitol.

[msc545]

@exitseven That is clearly a lie, not that it matters.

[exitseven]

@msc545 it was only 150 people. The FBI is still tracking them down/

[msc545]

@exitseven It was a lot more. Even it had not been - 1 would have been too many.

[exitseven]

@msc545 What a bout a million. ?

[OtterMan68]

@exitseven a million? Source?

[exitseven]

It was at least a million. I watched the whole thing on TV.

[msc545]

So you are your own source that won't work? Sorry

[Sasahara]

No. But it does sum up BLM in 2020.

[loveslongnails]

It doesn't begin to address BLM. BLM is the result of 200+ years of white supremacy couched behind laws that may exist on the books but do nothing to the hearts of people who are racist. Go ahead and bring up the riots that were maybe 10% of all the protests; yes, they were pointless and bad, but still nothing when compared to the policies of the US, state and local govt's in the past.

[Sasahara]

@loveslongnails Per your request I bring up the riots. And looting. I never said anything about past policies, neither did I compare BLM to them, I said the quote asker posted sum up BLM in 2020.

[loveslongnails]

In that case, I'll simply disagree with your assessment that the quote is appropriate.
