Sen. Johnson on others getting shots: ‘What do you care?’

The election was already completed. How am I making excuses? I'm just portraying it factually. What makes you think that they are my friends? What's with you?

Name a belief about the election that the majority of those that stormed the capital in January had, that you didn't share? Ya'll all believe the same crazy shit, they were just willing to do something about it.

I can't speak to their beliefs as I don't know any of them. What "crazy shit" are you assigning to me pertaining to the 2020 election? Show where I've said anything crazy about it. I'll wait......

They believed that Trump won the election, but that it was stolen from him by the Democrats who committed election fraud. Do you disagree with that?

I don't share that belief. You making the claim that I do was dumb. Making assumptions is generally not a good idea.

The point is, there was no armed insurrection at the Capitol building. There was no attempt to overthrow government. There was however a protest which turned into a frenzied and somewhat destructive act of civil disobedience.

So you believe that Biden won fairly and by the official margins, and that there were not sufficient irregularities to change the outcome in any of the states he won?

Just "Civil Disobedience"...

The election was over. All that was left was a symbolic ceremonial act. I just portrayed the event factually.

It is a required act. It is in fact the completion of the election, and the election is not actually decided until the house certifies.

You are not being accurate. You are being a partisan for boogs and other maniac traitors, for reasons that escape me entirely.

So, riots and looting are not acts of civil disobedience? Okeedokee.

Correct. What is the difficulty with processing a simple definition?

If you were discussing the British Conservative Party or the Canadian Conservative Party, I would completely agree with you on that. The American Republican Party, no, not at all. In fact, rather than moderate their positions to appeal to a larger and more diverse percentage of Americans, they just want to make it harder for those outside of their base to vote. You take a moderate, center-right Republican like Charlie Baker, governor of Mass, if the GOP base nominated him in 2024, he would win in a landslide, and probably have Eisenhower approval ratings the entire time he was in office. However, they would never in a million years nominate a moderate Republican like him. They would rather continue to try to win with a minority of American votes, and this true true across the board, than nominate candidates that would appeal to the majority of Americans - which would not be that difficult considering it is a center to center right country.

I mean hell, in 2012, had Romney been able to run as the pragmatic center-right Romney that was governor of Mass, he would have easily won, but instead the base demanded him to run as "severely conservative", and he lost (though he did have a higher percentage of the vote than what Trump won with in 2012).

Well, that's exactly it. The GOP has lost its collective mind, and traded in conservativism for reactionary insanity.

There is no Eisenhower left in the party. It's all Alex Jones and Matt Gaetz crap now.

You have yet to answer that clearly actually. I made a statement of fact, either you believe it is absolutely true, or not.

What's so unclear about "I don't share those beliefs?"

This proves that liberals will believe whatever they want to believe in spite of the facts.

Jeebus.

Eisenhower wasn't a staunch conservative and the Republican Party started shedding conservative begining with George HW Bush.


Alex Jones is not irrelevant. The only people trying to make him relevant are left wing loons. His name is on,y inserted as a means to deflect or divert.

He was. But to a reactionary, he might not look very staunch.

I agree, Alex Jones is not irrelevant. He is the soul of the GOP at the moment.

See what I mean? His name is invoked in order to deflect or divert. Only liberal hacks continually bring up his name.

Who's definition? A riots and looting are indeed acts of civil disobedience.

The dictionary's definition.

The "civil" part of disobedience dictates "peaceful".

Once a riot gets started, it stops being civil disobedience, regardless of how it started out.

What part of all of this is causing you trouble? Or were you expecting me to make excuses for rioting and looting, and I failed to cooperate?
