    It was an INSURRECTION! They literally tried to overthrow the government and install a Dictator-For-Life. If they had succeeded, a lot of legislators would have been murdered, as well as the VP. Those people were no longer American citizens, they were TRAITORS, trying to overthrow the government. Death is exactly what they deserve, either in the commission of their treason, or after. None of them should have been pardoned, because they all should have been executed.

      Actually, the fascist government blindly killing civilians, contrary to your belief, is not a good thing. You want it to be legal for the US government to open fire on crowds of civilians? There were journalists in that crowd, and I’m sure there were kids. Yeah that’s the insurrectionists fault but that doesn’t mean you can just open fire on them and their wives and kids, a crowd full of newscasters and fucking journalists wtf is wrong with you? That’s psychopathic bloodthirst.

      With this logic, you must support China’s actions in the Tiananmen Square protests? I’d be very happy if you read that story and told me your insights!!!

      Edit: oooo! What do you think of HAMAS? that’s a good one

        Who said anything about firing on crowds of civilians? That would be an atrocity.

        These were seditious, treasonous Insurrectionists, attempting do LITERALLY DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY! Defending against that sort of domestic terrorism is the very least that I expect the Capitol Police to do.

        The entire reason they felt comfortable actually assaulting the Capitol is because they were counting on COWARDLY people like you putting POLITENESS ahead of our Democracy. You would have let them destroy our democracy before fighting back, because it would be unseemly.

        Your cowardice, and the cowardice of the Democratic Party is why so many people still support MAGA - because they know if America is truly threatened, Democrats aren’t courageous enough to fight back, and they proved it over and over during the Biden administration. If Dems won’t protect the nation, they won’t protect their people.

        Smug, polite liberals like you are the reason MAGA is in control.

          Your comment made it seem like they should have opened fire on everyone at J6 which is insane because you’re just cheering for the neoliberal state to kill civilians. They were civilians. If you said military members I would have said hell yeah, but you said J6ers. I should know better to engage with this kinda cringy fedposting, but just so u know it’s not real praxis.

            Do you understand what an Insurrection is?

            The moment they decided to join an Insurrection, and overthrow their nation, they surrender their protection as citizens. At that point they are enemy combatants, attacking the seat of our government. They erected a gallows, and imtended to kill many elected politicians, including the VP. If you don’t defend the very seat of your Democracy, with all the major players present and under fire, when do you defend it?
