Liberals act like if those chuds had successfully taken control of the capitol they woulda just been in charge all of a sudden of the whole country. Like we all woulda gone omg ok i guess u guys are congress now.

I hate being redundant on a two comment thread, but I've genuinely had liberals (on lemmy) say to me "and they almost succeeded" and I am just baffled people can think that. Like, it's not just a matter of defining what "close" is. They had not engaged in even the first step of any actionable plan to control the country, barely any shots were even fired the whole thing was so unserious, and they say it was "close." The only thing they got "close" to was having a nice vacation.

There was also the lady with the Gadsen flag who was trampled to death

January 6th was one the best days of my life. It was really really funny. My enemies fought my enemies, people wore silly costumes. As far as I'm concerned corned the worst part about it is once again liberals not knowing a good time when they see one. I was a covid welfare queen at the time and it kinda kicked ass to be Canadian, i had also found out anyone on covid assistance who started a 'small business' could also get like ten grand in grant money so I started an easy store literally selling twigs and rocks I found in the woods, faked some sales by having friends 'buy' this bullshit and give em the money back later. I was having an amazing day. My roommate even scored genuinely good crack a travelling kid from out west had brought as a bargaining chip to crash on our coach. Getting ripped and seeing the funniest thing ever happen on the news ever being taken as serious was just awesome.

I remember when Jan 6 happened and then nothing fundamentally changed. If they don't take it seriously then why should I? Why should anyone? The primary showed that it didn't make Democrats care more about democracy or anything.

And that's what I tell anyone who whinges about Jan 6 to me.

Terrorism is when a bunch of Conner O'Malley characters and their mothers walk around the Capitol in a daze pissing in Nancy Pelosi's bonsai plant pot

We need a leftist Jan 6

Jan 6 is a holiday remembering the funniest day in American history

it is very funny they sent some proud boys to prison for 18 years and after sentencing they got mad at trump for not caring about them

They talk about it as seriously as they do 9/11. I was baffled the first time I saw this irl but yeah they get very emotional about it lol

If January 6th protestors had backings from either the DHS (it seems to be the closest to the ministry of interior over there from looking up) or US military, sure I'd understand them pearl clutching but they had none of that and also it was hilarious and looked like tailgating gone wrong after too much booze.

I hope it happens again

Tbf, they did get very close to offing the less-protected members in congress that the hogs fixate on (Omar and Tlaib for example). And when I say close I mean like they entered rooms right as congress was evacuating. They were physically close. And I have no doubt some of those guys, given a chance, would've done it.

Now whether or not I actually care about them doing it to all the unmentioned members... well... who knows
