This was far more peaceful than any left protest. Could you imagine a BLM/Antifa demonstration hundreds of thousands strong? That whole city would be on fucking fire. Instead, some shit got broken or stolen in the capital building. Actual people's (not the "people" that govern us) homes or businesses were not destroyed, unlike the "peaceful protests". You are falling for the media narrative by turning on this. You can say it was less than ideal, but these people made their decision to be bold in the moment and took the opportunity. There was NOTHING that was going to happen today that was going to keep Biden from being sworn in. Nothing. The objections weren't going to do shit, because some still happened, and they aren't doing shit. THIS was bigger than Trump, Biden, or any of these fuckers. This was "we are many, it's time for you to stop fucking with us like we have no recourse, because we do." Don't fall for the media bullshit. Today was a symbolic victory for the people vs the hideous machine that really governs them. If you think it was poorly organized, planned, and executed, yes, it was. Because no one did any of that. But these people are not the bad guys. Some guilty of breaking shit, some guilty of stealing shit. Other than that, all the rest were maybe guilty of trespassing?
