Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Aight so that explains why the stormed the capital but why did they show up to a standard event that happens every 4 years? And why did they bring guns and tactical gear? And why did they build a gallows? They didn't need cops to incite shit, they showed up with a plan and for once in US riot history the cops actions aren't blatantly horrible yet it's what everyone wants to point to this time. Interesting.
I'm upvoting you because you're making a good faith effort here. He's not reasoning through this and thinking over what you're saying, but someone else might be. I'm too tired to do it anymore myself though, so thanks for putting up the fight.
I can't believe the argument is the cops just decided to plant people to start an insurrection to storm the capitol just because they're so used to doing it for other things. BLM protests, I assume he's talking about...
No. The storming is because they're idiots. Regardless of if they were being incited by glowies, they're all mentally deficient asshats. They showed up for the same reason: they're idiots that listen to idiots. I've no clue who brought guns, but they're fucking failures. Those people always have gravy seal outfits. Every protest should have a gallows and/or guillotine.
I think you're right, though, I don't think they needed cops to incite any of it. I still 100% expect cops to do cop shit and I don't think it's insane to believe cops did exactly what we've seen them do thousands of times in the past.
It's all on film. Watch some blm protests and watch Jan 6th. Look at the police and tell me they're just doing the same thing police always do when you're done.
