I have seen several people who have commented about an armed insurrection last week. I could of missed it but the only people that seemed to be armed were police. None of the images of people in the capital building showed any weapons at all.
Was storming the capital building a bad idea...absolutely. Unfortunately everyone in the media and the democrat politicians seem to have the same message and are using key words such as insurrection and sedition. They are all talking about the president being removed but everyone seems to gloss over the fact that this seems to be a normal thing. We can look at a few examples over the last few years.
- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez lead a group of protester into the capital building and stormed Nancy Pelosi's office two years ago
- The Hart Senate Building was stormed by protestors during the Kavanaugh senate hearings and confirmations
- The President had to be moved to a bunker by secret service during the DC riots last year because protestors were tearing down barriers that had been established by the secret service to protect the White House
- Protestors in Portland tried to gain access to a federal courthouse by beating on the doors and windows with crowbars and hammers. Those protesters had to be turned away by armed troops. Fires were lit near the courthouse in attempts to burn it down
- Wisconsin's capital building was occupied by protesters for weeks as republicans attempted to pass a bill.
- The Capital Hill Autonomous Zone was set up by rioters and protesters in Seattle. This included cordoning off 6 city blocks and taking over a sheriff's office. The leaders of the riot said that they had set up their own autonomous country and government. (this is actual sedition)
- Protestors in almost every major city in the country rioted and burned buildings and vehicles. State and federal property was destroyed on a massive scale.
We can also talk about the words and actions of politicians what were extremely inflammatory. Everyone treats Trump as some sort of crazed man, and he does like to stick his foot in his mouth, but I don't think that he has done anything outside of what other politicians have done
- Nancy Pelosi met with the Joint Chiefs on Friday to discuss not allowing Trump to use his presidential powers that have been granted by the constitution. That is quite literally a discussion on a potential coup.
- Democrat congressmen have objected to every republican presidents electoral college votes since 2000. I don't think this is a problem because that is a process that is laid out in the constitution. Republicans are being vilified for doing the exact same thing now.
- Maxine Waters, who is a democrat congressman) told people to get in the face of republicans that they saw in public and draw a crowd.
- Kamala Harris paid the bail for rioters who burnt down cities this past year. This included the people who attempted to set up their own country within Seattle. This is sedition
- Democrat politicians cheering on the rioting and burning down of cities.
- Over 70 democrats refused to attend Trump's inauguration in 2017.
- AOC marched protesters into Nancy Pelosi's office after giving a speech
- During the protest during Trump's inauguration one of the speakers said "I've thought a lot about blowing up the white house"
- Lots of democrat politicians spent 4 years telling us that Trump was illegitimate
Finally, I want to touch on Trump and other republicans being suspended from twitter. Back in 2018 a judge ruled that Trump couldn't block people because twitter was a public square. If that is the case then politicians shouldn't be able to block people, because legally twitter is considered a public square. Unfortunately this law isn't enforced equally across the board. I see democrat politicians blocking people all the time. I am all for twitter enforcing their terms and conditions on trump and other users, but those rules aren't enforced equally across the board. I spent 15-20 minutes on twitter this morning and found the following: porn (lots and lots of porn), harassment of users, vile and racist comments, dictators commenting on genocide, pictures of effigies of Trump being hung, burnt and destroyed, one "popular" comedian holding a very bloody head that was made to look like Trump, and a lot of comments on how the republican party and trump needed to be punished. All of these are against the Terms and Conditions of twitter, but these are allowed to remain. If this is the case then when is Trump removed?
I can't believe that I forgot to add these as well:
Multiple republican congressmen shot at during baseball practice before congressional game by democrat supporter
Ran Paul assaulted in front of his home by democrat neighbor. There was a ton of cheering for this one in the twitterverse
Here is an article with a collection of people threatening violence if the senate held hearing to replace Ginsberg in the Supreme Court

These people all still have twitter accounts
