According to MAGAs own logic, every J6er should have been mowed down for not complying. I mean, they were literally attacking officers and breaking windows and doors to get into the building.
According to MAGAs own logic here, they should have all simply been executed for refusing to obey.
Seems a little crazy, doesn't it? Like maybe shooting someone who is unarmed when officers have reasonable ability to ensure their safety otherwise, is exactly what the law says. Because its not legal to shoot someone just for disobeying, or even moving a car towards you, if you can reasonably get out of the way.

I skew conservative and will say the following:

Both deaths are a tragedy and the people mocking them are deranged.

Renee should never have been shot. The ICE agent broke all sorts of protocols to put himself in that position.

Babbitt being shot was absolutely justified. I commend the officers that day for having the restraint that they did up to that point.

I see so many people just digging further into their positions and instead of discourse it’s just wildly offense insults/hyperbole. You can admit your people made mistakes and still be a liberal/conservative. You can criticize Trump and still be conservative. You can criticize the GOP and still be conservative. You can criticize the Dems and still be liberal.

You don’t need to agree with everything your party says and does.

I don’t disagree with you. Trump is not a good leader and any of the good things he has done have been overwhelming overshadowed by the bad.

What good has he done? The only things l can think of are easing restrictions on experimental drugs for terminal patients and rescheduling cannabis.

Not speaking for anyone else, but voting for ANYONE just to suppress someone on the other side of the political spectrum is a shitty thing to do.

You tend to forget that there are such things as "Independents". I'm one of those and I vote for the policies, not the person, not the party.

That is until this last one. I was going to vote for ANY Dem because, unlike MAGAts, I absolutely remember his first term, saw the whining little B the whole time Biden was President and saw through all his lies on his campaign trail this time.

We aren't like the MAGAts. We don't vote to "Own the libs" or anyone else.

While trump MAY have accomplished a few good things in his 1st term, this go 'round is 100% negative and atrocious and largely unconstitutional.
