i think that the carceral system of law and punishment in america is an abomination and unfairly used against minorities and the poor, the truly systematically disadvantaged but i also think it should be fully put into use against nazis and a coup, for good reason these are not conflicting thoughts

yeah rap sheets aren't very compelling in terms of establishing an intentional threat to the system, because they're tools to do that specific thing no matter what the actual circumstances are more compelling is the protest's explicitly stated aim of trying to overturn the election result which is a weird thing to disregard imo

Sagebrush posted:seriously what's your problem? why are you defending these people? playing devil's advocate here doesn't make you smart, it makes you a shithead I'm not defending them! I want these loving freaks nailed to the wall. They're not and never were a danger to our government or its members but they're certainly a danger to their neighbors or anyone that dares say a reasonable thing out loud near them in a grocery store aisle or parking lot. I'm just downplaying the idea that this was a dangerous coup, calling it such is an insult to the people that actually get subjected to such things by us and is part of a sensationalized media narrative that I think we should steer clear of. It's some of the most bizarre political theater of our lifetimes.

The president of the united states incited a mob to march to a place where his passing from power was being certified and attempt to prevent that process, so that the president could illegally continue to stay in power. It's a loving coup attempt, come on man, there is not a sign that says "THERE MUST BE AT LEAST THIS > < MANY TANKS FOR A COUP ATTEMPT" on Pennsylvania Ave.

The president and his lawyer literally spent time calling individual Senators to ask them to delay the process as much as possible so that the mob would have more time to reach the Senate chambers.

If it was on a Tuesday or a Thursday it would have been a coup, but everyone knows you can't have coups on Wednesdays, so it was just a riot.
