It’s bad faith to compare a nonviolent protest by 300 people to an insurrection by thousands. No lawmakers were in fear of their life in the Kavaugh protest and the floor of the Senate and the House remained protected. Also the goal was not to overturn the Presidential election. That these two events are incomparable is obvious.
Regardless of whatever happened in the past the fact remains that the government was almost overthrown on January 6 and the instigators (the top leaders) have not been brought to justice.
He literally gave an example of you people bombing the Capitol and you called that "nonviolent".
What happened on January 6th was a protest. None of the protestors had guns. The only person who died was a protestor, and the protestors left after they walked around for a while. What about these events makes it an insurrection to you?
That's pretty bad faith in my opinion.
edit: lol you flagged his comment? Can't handle dissenting opinions?
I'm sure there are other examples, that one came up on Google first. Given the size, demographics and temperament of the crowd, you'd really believe none of them were packing heat?
Ok one guy had a handgun. If all these people were armed, and they are apparently planning to overthrow the entire U.S. government, which is what you mean when you say insurrection, then why did none of them use the guns? It's almost like they were protestors.
