IMO this is one of the conservatives weaknesses. They are way too rash, Jan 6 could have been just a long protest outside the capitol.
 
There's green beans and bacon at home.

It has nothing to do with how well they protest. It's all about whether authorities will prosecute.

The left always gets the breaks in that regard.

Maybe because the jails are full and often the ones rioting are repeat offenders.

The conservatives IMO do represent a huge chunk of the suburban middle class. They should not follow rioters as an example. The rioters represent neither interests but stick with left protests for they are poorer.

Always? Every single time?

Got proof?
 
Factions of the right and left have been a total disgrace to the country for the past 3 years when it comes to hypocrisy, bigotry, violence, and vitriolic behaviour in general.

Neither party is clean in all the shit going on. (past & present)

We don't usually see eye to eye, but this point is spot on.

Kudos to you.
 
Your post is like saying Hitler should have done war better, if they hadn't used weapons and just talked to people, maybe people would have accepted them better. The point of 1/6 isn't protesting, it was for the mob to violently force Congress to vote to say traitor trump won the election. A protest wouldn't do that.

This screams FALSE EQUIVALENCY to me. The bigotry and violence on the right eclipses the left by many orders of magnitude.

When's the last time "the left" broke into the capital as a violent mob with the intention of overturning election results?

How stupid is your claim that they would've been equally prosecuted had they peacefully protested outside? Even someone as dishonest as you knows their actual behavior was important. People who protested peacefully weren't charged with anything.

WHA ?? This is a joke .... right? Compared to bombing abortion clinics, and targeting abortion providers? What ratio is that? 50:1 ??
What planet are you from? Or were you just born yesterday?

Shooting cops?

Ooooo! Big pictures! I guess that must make your point, eh? NO! - it doesn't.
Seriously ??!!?? The left has no monopoly on targeting police AT ALL! In fact, the most dangerous places to be a cop are dominated by red states!

FALSE EQUIVALENCIES !!

When it comes to perpetrating violence, nobody can touch the right-wing-nuts. They are, hands-down, the most violent faction of our political spectrum.

RW XENOPHOBES targeting immigrants.
RW HOMOPHOBES shooting up gay clubs.
RW ANTISEMITES targeting synagogues.
RW RACISTS shooting Blacks, everywhere from supermarkets to churches. CHURCHES !!

You think there's no difference? Show me the left wing equivalent of Timothy McVeigh.

Not so sure those were "conservatives".
I am a conservative Republican and would not even remotely entertain doing what they did.
Conservatives are smart, level-headed, rational, long-tern thinking, stable, etc..............which eliminates most Trumpers to begin with..............

What? You claimed their behavior during the protest didn't matter. Why then did only the violent protestors who broke into the capital get charged while the people who peacefully protested outside didn't? Seems like their behavior mattered a lot.

MAGA does not protest, they threaten violence anonymously on the internet.

You said it doesn't matter "how well they protest" , they were arrested for being conservatives and it would've happened had they peacefully protested outside.

You know you lied and were being theatrical. No peaceful protesters were prosecuted, so it was 100% about the individual behaviors.
 
The leftwing with its 200+ BLM riots across the country. Burning, looting, billions in damage.
