    How is it that one political ideology that came close to staging a coup is still being argued about three years later like it’s some kind of difficult debate.

    If socialists, blacks, Latinos, native Americans, all women had done any of this, the arguments would have over and done with within a year and there would have been no more debate about it.

    Far right fascists try to storm government and there’s a never ending debate it.

      They are still catching and charging people years later.

      It’s a “debate” because unfortunately around 40% our population is unable to comprehend and discuss complex issues, and instead refuse to accept that what happened on J6 was illegal and have instead co-opted to support and treat them like heroes. I mean, fuck, did you see their last CPAC? They paraded these people around and there was a quote saying that they were going to end democracy.

      It’s all insane.

        And my favorite is rather than let the police, who they support, do their jobs… They’re actively doing as much as they can to disrupt that research. Like really pitting police against police. It’s hilarious (and painful)

          It’s interesting then how much the MAGA movement has absolutely hijacked the Republican party due to complacency. The fact that Trump’s DIL was able to take the Chair of the RNC is insane to me.

          Then again, with how insane Fox News has gotten, I kinda feel like they are low-key trying to getting these ‘moderate’ conservatives in line with the rest of the MAGA movement.

            That’s what they are doing yes, it just isn’t working very well because their positions are largely vastly unpopular even with their own base.

      There wouldn’t have been an argument.

      Machine gun nests and unscalable barricades, and all manner of other things would have been, though.
