I saw the whole thing as an absolute joke, but they’re treating it like it was an actual terrorist strike or something. “An AtTaCk On DeMoCrAcY”, fuck off, it was some people wandering inside the Capitol because the cops let them in. I think like two people died and one of them was a cop, one of them was the taser balls guy.
Remember when they wanted to make some cop Time’s person of the year for being there on Jan 6th? lol.
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.
