    Dear @oldfella1962

    I know I give you a hard time about your racism. I know I give you a hard time about your political views. but I do recognize you are not the same sort of racist that wants to lynch black people. I just do not see you distancing yourself far enough from those people when you are obviously standing with them and seemingly making excuses for them.

    Think about the perspective and realize when you are on that side you cannot be the one making excuses for those types of people. You are not being the voice of reason at that point because you are too far on their side. To put it on the opposite end garamet does no good excusing Biden sniffing and molesting women because she is too caught up in his cult. When she says give him a chance because it is not that bad no one with a brain wants to hear it because she is way too far on his side. When she makes the excuses for him she just comes off as a sycophant. That is what you are running into. You have defended trump and his supporters so many times that when you try to excuse their actions it is legitimately seen as support. You might think, and may actually be, saying the same thing as a reasonable person, but because we know you and your history we cannot see you as a neutral party trying to calm things down. The real motive that comes out of it is that you do not want your people to face the consequences of their actions and statements so you are trying to make excuses for them.

    No one likes that. No one buys that shit when trump supporters say it. You are not owning the libs by saying it, but you are digging yourself deeper into the shit. I am surprised in your ability to dig deeper, but you are doing it like a champ, and a chimp, and a chump.

    Trump, his toupee falling off. Congress, when the police let the crazy invaders from Quackanon in. @oldfella1962 like when OAN reported the election stolen.

    Yes you are right! Trump said that he loved these two specific individuals! Trump plans on going golfing with them after posting their bail. No possible way Trump meant that he loved people supporting him by attending the peaceful portion of the Capitol debacle. Twitter users will back me up on this, and every twitter user (now that Trump is banned) is vetted and their tweets monitored for content.

    Such an odd hill to die on.

    Let's play make-believe that Trump had no idea that some of his supporters were white supremacists, even though white supremacists have been well-documented to have supported him, being on video saying "Heil Trump!" with arm salute, even though Charlottesville, even though he had at least a couple alt-righters in positions of power in his administration, even though he retweeted white supremacist accounts, etc.

    What he said was "We love you" to all the people who were protesting. These two were among the people protesting.

    If he didn't intend to support white supremacists, the only remaining conclusion is that he's so insecure and desperate for adulation that he will fawn over literally anyone who says nice things about him, no matter how disgusting they are.

    Neither is a good trait in a president. And while the first is more amoral, the second is arguably more dangerous.

    If Somerset had had this many bad apples, cider wouldn't exist.

    Or the Wurzels.

    Consider that existential horror.

    where do they find these people? What is missing in their lives that they feel the need to do unimaginably dumb shit? What benefit to their families and society will going to prison (hopefully) bring?

    I see you can’t distinguish the difference between average Republican voters and Trump sycophants.

    Anyone who calls themselves a "Republican" after the last four years and, in particular, the events of 6 January 2021 needs to die in a fire.

    They are complicit. Period.

    TGoCH, I'm having trouble distinguishing too.

    Maybe you're thinking about the days of McCain and Palin. no wait. The days of Bush. no wait. Reagan. wait. It'll come to me.

    ETA: Nixon? dammit. I know somewhere back there is a respectable GOP politician.

    Can you? How?

    Given poll numbers that suggest that more than half the Republicans believe Trump's lies, and about half think the riot is OK, it seems more difficult than you might think.

    don't worry, the Biden regime is working on making sure we all die in fire soon enough. :yes: The downside is since there are 70 million or so of us that fire could contribute to global warming. :(

    No that's not how it works. Your deaths would be carbon neutral, or negative considering all the SUVs that would be parked.

    Keep your fingers crossed that Biden will wipe us all out and your life will be easier. But he'll need your help so don't let him down. Your country needs you!

    parked SUV's are good training aids for rioters to practice torching vehicles. They aren't police vehicles, but you can't have everything. That said I have a VW Jetta and a VW Beetle but I hope that can help the rioters this summer!
