America is going to become undebatably fascist pretty soon. The libs didn't prosecute J6 hard enough, now there's a precedent that a revolt isn't a life ruining thing for right wingers.
Prepare for American balkanization
Liberal analysis
The second coming
Lmao the libs didn’t prosecute January 6th hard enough? They put everyone who was there in jail for life basically. They prosecuted it in an unprecedented way, clamping down hard and freezing assets. I have no idea what you are talking about, FBI went on a hog hunt afterwards.
The issue with libs isn’t that they didn’t freak out enough over January 6th, that’s basically the exact opposite of reality. They couldn’t have possibly overreacted more than they did
“Basically” should have clued you in on a hyperbolic statement. Their sentences are all very high for the actual crimes they committed (essentially just trespassing on government property for most of them, no different than sit-in protests). The feds cracked down as hard as they legally could
Look up what those people who didn’t serve any prison time were actually convicted of. It’s just minor misdemeanor shit like trespassing and vandalism because that’s all they could actually prove (because there was no conspiracy, no treason, and libs were overreaching by calling it such)
Relevant username.
They stormed the capital. Yeah, it's tresspassing, sure, but this is absolutely a "throw the book at them" sort of instance. There are places that would execute people for this.
But people have been charged with treason and conspiracy, there were pretty well known plans to hinder the election process, many people were charged with gun or other weapons violations, so I don't know how much of an overreach it is to call it treason or part of an attempted coup? I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Really? I feel like I remember some of the r/Capitol Consequences posts being much less then that, like a few years type of thing. Not life or multiple decades.
For example, the guy with flex cuffs got a little less then 5 years.
