    Remember when libs kept promising us the military would never use violence against the American people? Remember how they said if a tyrant became president the military would refuse orders to harm fellow Americans?

    God it would be funny if there wasn’t a literal genocide that needed to be ended first.

    Breaking into the capital, causing physical damage, attacking police officers, stealing U.S. government property. That’s defending democracy.

    Standing outside a federal detention center where people are being illegally held. That rebellion.

    Welcome to trump’s America, peace I’d was, slavery is freedom.

      Most honest US politician says unlimited force to protect his elevated position is fine, but the tiniest amount of force protesting that position is illegal terrorism.

    People peacefully assembling to exercise their Constitutional rights, and the guy who planned, led, and launched an actual Insurrection which obviously attacked hundreds of cops wants to claim THAT’S a rebellion.

    These people are TOAST! If the Wanted to ACTUALLY Peacefully Protest they SHOULD have just BROKEN the CAPITOL WINDOWS, BEATEN CAPITOL POLICE, POOPED ON THE CAPITOL WALLS and USED WEAPONS!

          I’m sure black people didn’t foresee how standing next to white supremacists was in any way helpful during WWII, or capitalists standing next to communists, or Christians standing next to Muslims, but it was necessary.

          It’s basic history. You’re going to have to figure out how to stand with people you don’t like very much, as much as you enjoy the ‘leopards ate your face’ jokes.

          Though after the last six months, I imagine Democrats would rather hide in a bunker making ‘leopards ate your face’ jokes or writing sternly-worded letters than actually defeat fascism anyway.

            Your analogies make sense if you identify a common enemy. We do not have a common enemy. They are directly supporting the enemy.

            If you have anything more concrete to point to to explain your point I’m absolutely stumped.
