January 6th: The ultimate "you all got played"

[Tgo01]

Uh they were being encouraged to chant "Stop the Steal" the whole time, Trump pointed to the Capitol building and said "the steal is going on in there right now, this is your last chance to save your country". Meanwhile the speakers were repeatedly asking them what they were willing to sacrifice for their country and were invoking imagery of war.

Oh and it was a crowd full of fucking right-wing armed militiamen. *And he knew that*

What the hell was the President of the United States of America doing calling in a bunch of armed militiamen, pointing them to the Capitol, and telling them to "stop the steal" at any cost while every member of Congress and his own Vice President were busy supporting the peaceful transition of power? You think that crowd of Trump supports all flew down assuming they'd be marching on the Capitol? Somehow they all attended the same rally and all got the same great idea to go march on the Capitol and break in. What a coincidence, right?

At MINIMUM- that's a fucking questionable thing to be doing under any circumstances. His job is to protect our Constitutional processes, not put them at risk. Capitol police lost their lives that day and many ended up in the hospital. Did Trump EVER say he was sorry? Or express any sense of anger at what happened to them? (Hint: No)

Meanwhile, we're glossing over the fact that he was told repeatedly by his own DoJ that there was no massive fraud, and that the election was the safest and most secure election we've ever had. And the fact that the states had all run their audits (multiple in some cases) and found no errors. And he still spent months lying through his teeth about this magical massive voter fraud no one could see and that over 60 Judges all said they had no proof of.

Oh and in the middle of the insurrection (you know, when people were killing police officers and vandalizing our Capitol building) he told them they were special people, and that he loved them. This is while they were actively roaming the halls looking to fucking hang Congresspeople and his own Vice President.

So go on. Tell us more about how poor innocent Trump is the real victim and how it's just so crazy to think there was anything wrong with all of that.

That's great. What do you think about that mob of alt-leftists who kidnapped a city politician and took her hostage until she agreed to their list of demands? You know, the actual definition of an insurrection.

This reminds me of the time people like time4tyranny wanted to read my poem before I performed at Winterfest (or maybe that was Bardfest...)

Were they afraid you were going to offend halflings?

Remember when a Bernie supporter tried to assassinate the Republican baseball team?

I believe it was after I asked unscripted questions at one of the mayoral debates. Something about the years of Imperial harassment in the shipping lanes between RR and Solhaven.

But Bernie didn't give a speech prior to that so it's not an insurrection apparently.

What about when violent alt-leftists were torching vehicles, assaulting police officers, and destroying private property during Trump's inauguration? But a Democrat didn't give a speech ahead of time so apparently not a violent insurrection.

I think if someone has the energy to look back, they will find that I warned there would be an equal reaction to said inauguration insurre...riots.

I got as far as the first one and just had to laugh on out of there:



Oh no! Parading?! We almost lost our democracy that night!!!!

Of course you did, cause then you would have seen more serious charges like assaulting police officers, weapon possession, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Instead your like lawl parading!!!111 See it was just a tour, lawl!!!11

[drauz]

You could say that about every speech, every word, every comment ever made then.

I bet you're part of the crowd that thinks video games, and that "darn rock music", cause people to do evil things.

No, you couldn't say that. That's retarded.

If a video game or rock music immediately made people go out in thousands and do the exact same violent action, then I would at least take a look and see what it said.

I don't think Trump intended for people to actually try and rush the capitol but I think if those speeches hadn't happened then no one rushes the capitol. It was bravado and him trying to explain away him losing, he can't stand losing or even looking like a loser.

[Parkbandit]

So the speeches played no part and if they aren't given then everyone rushes the capitol still?

No. The plan was always to go to the Capitol and peacefully demonstrate.

Bingo. Yet he was Impeached over it.

Even though you have a severe case of TDS, you at least kept a tiny fraction of your logic.
