I was undecided between voting for DeSantis or Cruz in the 2024 primary. Thanks for clearing things up Ted.
They don’t care about the precedent. There are numerous laws that can be used against leftists now - it is illegal to burn down people’s business or beat them up after all - but the laws aren’t enforced. We have become a lawless nation.
I can’t think of any black lives that BLM has actually saved. They have caused numerous black deaths, and other deaths too since, you know, the lives of white people matter too. Not only directly from rioting but, as you say, from increased murder rates in cities.Interestingly enough, BLM has been bad for both small businesses and blacks themselves. The blacks that BLM saved have been more than "compensated" by the additional blacks who were killed by other blacks due to there being less police in black neighborhoods as a result of BLM's activism against the police
It's going to be treated as America's Reichstag Fire; facts do not matter, only how the event can be used to further push the political narrative of the Far-Left/Biden regime.
We need to prepare to be the White Rose Society, and military members need to be watching Valkyrie.
We live in unreasonable times; the comparison is apt, even if it shouldn't be in a sane world.That's not really a reasonable comparison.
The Reichstag fire was taken seriously by most Germans, and in reaction the government was able to rally supporters around itself and focus the public attention on a small subset of the population, who were heavily targeted and suppressed by the government.
The "Jan 6th was the worst thing ever" line is not taken seriously by anyone save the most ardent democratic partisan, and while they've used it to fire up thier base, they're not getting traction with the public at large. And while the dems have attempted to use it as wedge issue to rally people against "the enemies of democracy" or whatever, they flubbed it by casting the entire GOP as said enemy, and by attempting to respond to said enemies by passing a bunch of stuff they already wanted to pass, which marks thier reaction as a transparently obvious ploy (the fact they have no interest in reformimg the electoral count act, which played a significant role in triggering the riot, speaks volumes about how unserious they are).
We shall see about that.That's not really a reasonable comparison.

The "public at large" often proves irrelevant, if you look at history; it usually only takes a comparatively small fraction of the population to screw everyone else over, and there are a lot more "ardent democratic partisan(s)" running around than people like Battlegrinder are willing to admit.We shall see about that.

I was under the impression Trump was outside giving a speech when this all went down.

I am gonna call complete BS on that, if Trump was gleeful it would imply he not only planned but he expected it to work. And everyone know it doesn't work like that. He might have been "gleeful" when they marched and showed up for his speeches and stuff, that I fully believe, but he is not stupid to think them breaking into the Capitol was gonna help him.

If BLM really wanted to stop black people from being killed, they would need to address black people’s behavior: not just the crimes they commit but the other bad behaviors (promiscuity, fatherless homes) that lead to higher rates of crime.
