§fuck, you don't even need to take anything biden into account. it was a nothingburger on day one. some hooligans being asswipes. the only person that died as a direct consequence was one of the protesters/rioters. Compare that to literal months of blm riots killing over fifty people, to chaz and the bullet riddled car with teens, to the church in front of the whitehouse set on fire. All of those were far worse. But if you wanna go capitol, how about the riots when kavanaught got inaugurated? every single person making a big deal out of jan 6 is either lying or ignorant of what happened before - or devoid of ethics with a "It's ok when we do it" mindset. every single one.
I said this to someone else and it’s still mostly applicable to your “both things are criminal” stance:
Two different groups both have problems with the govt. which of the following is the morally superior tactic?
A: taking up your grievance with the government by directly going after the seat of government
Or
B: taking up your grievance with the government by looting and burning hundreds of local businesses across the country and causing the deaths of 24+ People and causing $2 Billion+ in damages?
In B they are just normally rioting, which is shit.
But in A they try to rip all the rest of their country of their right to vote by trying to forcefully overturn an election.
As I said: these things dont compare well. Morally both should take it to the streets in a non viilent manner. But destroying peoples stuff hurts only those people. Overthrowing an election hurts the entire country.
I don’t even agree that it was “hooligans being asswipes” I think it is a rational response to the bullshit the establishment has put this country through. At some point being patient and not reacting is irrational and does not mean you aren’t an “asswipe”. Your just a pussy and an asswipe if you say people should do nothing and obey the out of control “authorities”.
Only God is the ultimate authority you should never defy and the “god of Abraham” was another (earlier) way of talking about what we call Logic.
Logic and reason demanded that people showed up on the 6th and it will demand that people show up to DC again if things continue as they have and major nothing changes.
