So are you admitting that armed citizens can topple a rogue government, or that the mostly peaceful protesters were never going to do any actual damage to our "democracy"?
I admit that thebabylonbee is often full of shit and request a trustworthy source of the indicated quote and suggested opinion before I lower myself to discuss it.
It's a satirical site, but Biden did literally say American citizens would need nuclear weaponry to take on the government after the thing with people invading the capitol
.
Which implies, first and foremost:
Biden is entirely willing to turn nuclear weaponry on American citizens (he made another comment to that effect at another date as well iirc). Which is kinda alarming, ngl, and really more an argument that the average American citizen needs more firepower, not less.
.
.
It also demands you hold two conflicting ideas in your head at once:
.
1. That the Capitol issue where most people were unarmed was as an attack on par with 9/11 (<- not my comparison, this is what people on the Biden side have said), and a major terrorist threat that nearly toppled the entire democratic process and nearly enough to bring America to it's knees
.
2. That the Capitol issue was never an issue at all because guns would be no match for the literal apocalypse he's able (and apparently willing) to unleash
Could be, I may DoubleCheck later since I thought he'd said something to that effect again. Feel free to disregard the portion of the post that mentions secondary comments by him, though, and the rest still remains the same
It's actually not an uncommon sentiment that private firearms are useless because "The government has bombs, drones, jets, blah blah blah blah".
I could tear that argument down easily, I do it all the time. But I have a question for people that think like that.
Why do you want to be defenseless against an entity that -would- use such munitions on their own people?
Lol I think my favourite thing is:
They're comparing the Capitol to attacks like 9/11 and pearl harbor.
.
In the same time frame as the Capitol shit, People were burning cities down and caving peoples heads in on the concrete. They toppled statues and kidnapped people. Tried to rape. Tried to KILL and BRAGGED about it on social media. Shot at and beat teenagers. Smashed windows and stole. Destroyed businesses. Demanded people bow and kneel and leave their homes. And that was peaceful protest.
.
Meanwhile people that stepped into isolated areas without a mask on were all but labelled murderers.
.
The Nazis probably still have them beat for putting spin on propaganda, but these people don't need to try so fucking hard to catch up to them all the time
You even left out the part where the Democrat-led Capital police refused uniformed officers and military support in the lead-up, and how most of the rioters *actually were* peaceful protesters that the Capitol Police literally waved inside the building while a known and admitted Antifa "documentarian" tried to provoke a riot to break into another entrance.
He made some fat money by selling the clips to Democrat propaganda channels- I mean media outlets.
So who's got the better spin?
If i recall correctly, didn't some people bring molotov cocktails, pistols... wasn't there a small group of veterans that were pretty heavily armed, or am I just mixing up things in my head?
@porch_light tbh I don't know the facts about the weaponry. Famous seems to have dived into it a decent amount, but if you're unsure it's always good to do your own research.
.
The one thing I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, though, is whatever happened there has been extremely blown out of proportion. I've seen them catch the media -- and the politicians themselves (especially AOC) in lie after lie when it comes to what went down there.
.
I don't think everyone on Trump's side went there completely unarmed necessarily, or with completely peaceful intent, because outside of Ghandi that almost never happens. But I also don't believe this was one of the single greatest terrorist attacks on the nation's history. I think comparing it to them is a goddamn insult. I don't believe it came even close to the majority of the riots we've been forced to accept as "peaceful protest."
.
We KNOW Antifa was involved and masquerading among the rioters to make shit worse.

@karlboll Need more sources? I got them.
What? You think they showed up wanting to kill people but decided to leave all their weapons at home? Please.
