I disagreed with the continued riots, I don't think they should have been allowed just to go on and that those who were committing crimes should have been arrested and properly charged.
But saying that one wants to carry momentum into the election is a FAR cry from attacking Congress for the purpose of disrupting the recording of the EC vote in an attempt to undo the results of the election.

At least we agree that the corporate sponsored democrat party riots were handled much differently than they should have been.
Equality before the law is the most basic tenet of American jurisprudence and ideals.
That aside, your not looking at this objectively at all. You're assuming that everyone there at the capital that day had the intention of violently assaulting somebody and that's simply not the case.
That would be the same thing as me accusing everyone who participated in the leftist riots of 2020 as antifa members. I understand that ain't the case. And neither is your accusations.
A protest against a political process is a very common theme all throughout American history. Whether it be jury ruling, an enactment of an unpopular law or anything else.
Often a protest leads to chaos that's taken advantage of criminal elements with different intentions. Like the small group of radicalized liberal kids who tried to burn down a federal courthouse with people inside. The intentions of the few who threw firebombs in the building and shit bags at cops were much different than the majority of people there who attended for civil reasons. Not everyone had the intention of killing the people in the courthouse and laying siege to the building. But a few did.
And so it's the same with the riot at the capital. There's absolutely nothing wrong with protesting any political process. It happens all the time. That's not "insurrection".
There may have well been a dozen or so individuals with intentions much different than protesting. And it looks like they've been arrested. All 11 of them. That's one hell of an "insurrection" ain't it?
No. It's not. There was fundamentally no difference between the two riots except for the political leanings of the people involved. And the people behind the scenes.
Corporate America and the democrat party spawned the riots of 2020 because they thought it would benefit them politically. They wanted to do harm to an interloper who had forced himself into the circle of power. He wasn't one of them and they wanted him gone at all costs. It didn't matter that he was legally elected. That's called subversion of democracy right there
Donald Trump stirred up the crowd on Jan 6 because he thought it would benefit him politically.
No different.
You're protecting the status quo. You're making excuses and arguing semantics to defend the status quo.
You say you have contempt for the status quo. But you helped it restore it's power.
Why?
