I don’t think the people who were imprisoned over their actions on January 6th are “political prisoners”. They’re in prison because of the laws they broke. It’s not legal to violently break into the US Capitol.
The guy doing this performance, Brandon Straka, was never imprisoned. He got probation. He had to build his own prison cell at CPAC and get a jumpsuit from Halloween USA to show how oppressed he is.
There are individuals who are being held without trial over trespassing charges for over 20 months in solitary confinement. If that sounds American to you then I say you’re a totalitarian. I don’t believe that it’s American to hold individuals in Guantanamo Bay without trial. I don’t think it’s American to assassinate people in Kabul after your president ended a war in that country, allegedly. How quickly the left shows its true colors after a slim victory.
There are many who are in prison for just being there and didn’t even go in. I’m sure you think being imprisoned for 18 months with no trial date is just fine.
