Do you believe the events of January 6th 2021 were on par with 9/11?

Yes! It was a huge insurrection, just as bad as 9/11!

No. That's ridiculous. It doesn't compare on any metric. Nobody forced their way in, nobody was even armed.

In terms of damage, human life lost of course not.

If we are comparing the two it's more about the response. High guess 200 individuals accross the ocean are responsible for the 9/11 attack. Our response was a 20 year long war that we ultimately gave up on.

January 6th attack as a low guess 2000 on the ground participants. Let's say 200 did meaningful damage intentionally. In life or damage like I said not even close.

The biggest concern is if don was there leading it which he wanted to but got a ride someone else drove him the other direction.

Just imagine don in the capital building telling everyone to take a seat and continue the votes as per custom on January 6th. Sigh his name on a blank paper. With all of congress in a bunker.

Just the foundation and sovereignty of our nation puts January 6th attack the most dangerous act if don was able to walk for himself.

Let's see, in one event, 3 planes crashed into 3 buildings causing 3 of them to collapse and a 4th (the Pentagon) became badly damaged and 3000 people died with hundreds more injured or sicked from being involved with it.
In the other, a bunch of democrats tried to stir shit, specifically to keep the election from being questioned and a bunch of Trump supporters were passively taken on a tour through the building by the armed security. I think one innocent woman got killed by the democrats.
Nope, no comparison at all!! It's like comparing a firecracker to an atom bomb.

In the sense they were both terrorism yes.

Just because one had significantly more impact than another doesn't make it irrelevant.

Also they were absolutely armed... Being armed doesn't necessarily mean firearms (though people definitely had those) bear spray, sledge hammer, batons, flag poles, fire extinguishers, an unknown chemical spray are all weapons. Two people died and hundreds were injured.

The president did tell his fangirls to attack their own country. And chanted on live tv to hang his vice president. But that's hardly as involved as sending in people to learn how to fly in a countries own training facilities, then getting them to commit suicide in the name of madness. That takes intelligence and stupidity. Not just stupidity.

No, you would have to be super dishonest to even compare the two. That's like comparing 7/11 with 9/11. Hell 7/11 was worse than Jan6 and Americans won't even know what 7/11 is.

Still a bad event but it did not escalate to such levels. Perhaps it could've but it didn't.

Nobody was armed? LOL. The lies just keep getting more ridiculous.

[DrPepper12]

Both are semenial events but share little in common.

Jan 6th wasn’t even close to 9/11
