(no title)

The entire summer long while buildings burned, and entire cities looted by violent murdering thugs it was called "peaceful protests".

Then when some actual peaceful protesters go to a legitimate politically organized rally in clown outfits in Washington brandishing American flags and are literally ushered into the buildings by security it's portrayed by the lying media as serious military coup attempt. To quote Biden: "Gimme a break man."

> literally ushered into the buildings by security

Are you serious?

The fact that some cops eventually decided that 20 cops could not stand against 1000 violent protestors smashing through windows and doors, after at least one cop had been dragged out of his position and beaten senseless by the mob, and another cop killed, and so decided that the safest thing to do was open the doors, doesn't mean that all of a sudden they were peaceful protestors. Give me a fucking break.

> actual peaceful protestors

They killed a Police Officer, chanted "Hang Pence", and tried to stop the democratic process of verifying votes for the new president.

Now of course you will likely argue that they were a small minority, but I don't see you making that concession for those on the "other side" so I'm not sure how much weight it'll have.

Since no one else mentioned it,

"The entire summer long while buildings burned, and entire cities looted by violent murdering thugs..."

Could you provide some evidence for "entire cities looted by violent murdering thugs"?

Well, if you watched the M5M you won't really know about any of it. lol. Thanks for helping make my point!

Do you have a source to the "ushered into the buildings" thing? Like, are you saying they didn't intend into storming the Capitol but were guided/leaded there by the security staff?

Also I think you're being unfair by ignoring the causes of both of the protests, as (IMO, feel free to disagree) one of them was directly supporting democratic and liberal interests and the other was directly against them. I don't think you can discuss the protests without taking into account what they were protesting.

It took me a while to place the cognitive dissonance, but I found it eventually: you've made stuff up. Buildings weren't burning all summer, “violent murdering thugs” weren't called peaceful, “politically organized rally” doesn't mean anything…
