Protestors storm capital

Republicans and their media need to admit they were lying and proclaim Biden the true winner of the election. It’s the only way to unify and heal.

 
So I was thinking the best way forward was to let things cool off, to take the high road and try to heal the divisions in our country by turning the other cheek.

Then they stormed the Capitol. After that, I expected there to be a lot of remorse on the part of republicans. I hoped they would have some second thoughts about supporting DJT through four years of his gaslighting and subversion.

Unfortunately, there has been prescious little of that. Too many people are just turning the page on this like it was a prank at the PTO meeting. There are still too many people living in Trump's alternate universe. Where he is the only source of truth.

I'm afraid the only way we break this hold on the minds of the "patriots" is to hold them accountable to the furthest extent of the law; to make an example of these misled fools to discourage more nonsense.

As long as Trump has a bullhorn he will use it to stir up trouble. We have to take it away from him. Maybe when people see what happens to those who blindly follow the wizard they will wake up and stop listening to his rantings. Maybe. If not, we are...

I'm actively accepting bets on how long it will take for Biden to turn the U.S. into a socialist country.

You name the number of months you think it will take. If we're still not the USSA after that date I win.

Yeah, **** that. The democrats should not sleep until every single person involved in this coup attempt is put in jail, including and especially Trump.

This.

We’ve coddled nazis and confederates for far too long. That’s why they continue to hurt, kill, and destroy the lives of each generation. It ends now. Arrest these folks and destroy their terrorist networks. Y’all Qaeda, not ISIS or Al-Qaeda is our #1 terrorist threat.

Throw trump and every one of his spawn and throw away the key.

I’m still on the fence about capital punishment. But what Trump’s followers did to the Capitol makes me wonder if a strong bone crushing response from the federal government might go a long way to ending these terrorist groups? Certainly they should have lengthy prison sentences. It’s time to end the Oath Keepers, 3 percenters, etc. the Bundys all should’ve been ended years ago. I wonder if they had if we’d be seeing these groups in the same way today?

This is the first time it's crossed my mind.
 
Lol
I like how Thriller has to tell everyone I'm on ignore but yet responds to people who respond to me and make some generalized post and associate me with the alt right.

Dude doesn't have the integrity to respond to me. He doesn't care to know my thoughts. He cares to generalize me and call me alt right.


@The Thriller if you'd like to discuss my opinions, I'm down. Stop with calling me alt right though. Or, if I'm alt right, prove it.

You're in education, bro. Your words matter. Stop lying.

Capital punishment starting with Trump. Does he think this **** is a game? There could not be a more deserving punishment for the most serious crime possible against the USA. Pelosi and Pence could have easily died that day along with other lawmakers. That's no joke.

I'll be honest here, dude. I've seen about 10 posts from you in the last few days whining about Thriller calling you alt-right, and none from him calling you that. Maybe he has, and I've missed it, but you're sounding positively obsessed. I don't care, really, but that's the way it is.

Agreed.

He is obsessed. We have a history. I have him on block but it’s pretty easy to know who’s posting. Sometimes I’ll show ignored material to make sense of a page and see his vomit. He’s one of the few people on this board who still takes the right’s position every single time when it comes to BLM protests, police shootings, and sedition. I swear he’s “left” the board at least 4 times and yet comes back usually after one of these protests. Just watch. He’ll leave for a few months and will return to take the right’s position the next time an unarmed black person is executed by the police. It’s as predictable as Trump giving a hostage video, being complimented for his “new tone”, only to ruin it 24 hours later with an unhinged rant. Bookmark this. Seriously just give it some time and he’ll blame the POC who was executed.

I don’t like engaging with him (although I remember him being reasonable when talking about sports. His political takes are just awful), it’s usually very frustrating. It’s never very enlightening because of his lack of media literacy. The sources he uses from Ben Shapiro to Ngo, are just bad. Garbage in garbage out. I’ve found many on this board to be enlightening and have caused me to rethink positions. But not him. There’s a real lack of self awareness and humility on his part. Be careful, or he’ll obsess over you too.

Apparently this is what set him off to write “10 posts about me.” Which tells me it must’ve hit close to home. Hi!
“I’m not alt right I’m not alt right!”

He takes an alt right position every time. So even if he’s not overtly alt right, he’s obviously consuming large amounts of alt right material and ignorantly recycling their biased garbage.

I see this often with fellow ward members (usually bored stay at home moms) who post alt right material or Qanon nonsense on social media without taking more than 10 seconds to check sources. I find this to be very common right now, media literacy is just horrible.

I think we’re seeing a segment of our population that’s bored with life (usually whites). So they indulge in extreme and outlandish stories that give their own lives the dopamine and adrenaline that they crave. They don’t check the facts or sources, it’s just much easier to like and share from the comforts of your phone. That’s why they indulge in stories that help support their prejudices (Blue Lives Matter!), cultural grievances, and give them the sense of community (alt right/Qanon/Underground Railroad, etc). It gives their lives excitement, purpose, and a sense of community. They too are an avenger against those godless PC uppidity college educated types, black thugs, and liberal child sex predators!

it’s honestly very similar to what we seen in fundamental Islam and is arguably one of the most pressing problems in American society today. Without a Cold War and with a prolonged period of peace and prosperity, our society has turned on itself largely over issues that actually don’t exist (Q, economic anxiety, etc). Consequently, among this segment of our population, issues in our society that do exist (Trump being a horrible president, the rise of right wing terrorism, police brutality and racism) go ignored. Half this country is living in an alt reality where Trump is amazing and is working hand in hand with Q. BLM is the #1 threat and POC want to take yur job. “Blacks just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, like whites.” Covid doesn’t exist, and Underground Railroad is praiseworthy. It’s an alt reality.

I sometimes wonder how much different our history might’ve been if Lincoln/Johnson hadn’t been so accommodating to confederates and instead brought them to justice via Nuremberg like trials? If the poisonous Confederacy had been obliterated Nazism, what would our country be like today? What would’ve happened if land had been redistributed to slaves, as many Republicans wanted?

If/When Biden enacts the Defense Protection Act to compel businesses to produce PPE and vaccines, I wonder if Republicans who’ve been attacking private enterprise recently for making decisions will attack Biden for interfering in private enterprise?
