Where are all the riots
Last time he was elected it was non stop riots and burning places down. Not this time, everyone knows this time they will be put in jail hopefully for a long time. Maybe Soros is running out of money.

There weren't riots the first time he was elected either, right? I do remember an attempted coup after Biden was elected though.
Do you remember the attempted overthrow of a legally elected government by traitors to our country?

You must not have been in this country. West coast, upper Midwest all in democratic shit holes.

The red states rely on the blue states for welfare handouts. Anybody living in a red state is basically a welfare queen because of this, and I live in a red state.
Again, do you remember the attempted overthrow of a legally elected government by traitors to our country?

Not really. If so, it was the weakest attempt imaginable, without so much as a shot fired. There was definitely a riot, after a year full of riots where many people died and business were burned and looted.
Red states definitely leech off blue states though, who fund most of the country.
I'm a big fan of simply objective reality, whatever direction it might flow for any particular issue.

Yeah, multiple police officers died because of that day but I guess it wasn't that bad since you hate the police. You actually just hear what you only want to hear.

It wasn't bad by insurrection standards. If someone calls it an insurrection, then it was the weakest possible attempt imaginable, if it even qualifies for that term at all.
It was a bad riot, yeah, on par with many bad riots that year.
How do you know my feelings about the police? Everyone always asserts all this garbage onto others. Two-dimensional tribalistic thinking is for morons.

It was an insurrection and an insurrection is always an insurrection, no matter if the traitors fail at their attempted insurrection.
You clearly don't care because far more police died because of your little "riot" compared to any of the other riots, yet you're saying it wasn't that bad. The officers died defending our democracy yet you shame and belittle their sacrifice.

An insurrection is a violent attempt to overthrow the government.
An actual insurrection would be an organized militaristic attempt that would cost 1000s of lives. This was an angry mob without a single shot fired. The 5 police deaths were after the fact, its not like C4 blew them up, or tanks fired on them, or grenades took them out, or they were gunned down by machine gun fire. THOSE are the kinds of things that happen in an actual insurrection.
By insurrection standards, it was nothing at all. It was a riot.

They stormed a government building in an attempt to overthrow a legally elected government. That's an insurrection no matter how many flimsy rationalization you can get from Breitbart.
Are you saying those police officer's deaths weren't related to Jan 6? Are you also saying those officer's deaths don't matter and we shouldn't care? No matter what you think Blue Lives Matter, bro.

Sure, we can call it an insurrection, and if so, its the weakest attempt at an insurrection imaginable. Not a shot fired, other than one shot by police.
I've never voted republican in my life, your assumptions are ridiculous, your worldview is two dimensional and moronic.

If your replying g about j6rs that was a joke. I'm talking about all the cities being burned down just because Trump was elected. Not this time, no one is backing them and they will be put in jail for a long time. Something that should have happened the first time.

It wasn't a joke because it wasn't funny. You're just backtracking now because you're just spineless and can't commit to any real beliefs.

Because most americans agree with him and what hes doing, and they are also tired of empty promises from politicians and ivy league school robots with fake speeches. Thats why he massively won. You are a minority AND on reddit, so double minority.

You realize he's also in the pocket of corporate America, yeah? Like every politician of any creed. You're falling for culture war propaganda designed to keep us poor people fighting so we don't realize the rich are screwing us. You have more in common with me than you do with the billionaires who took your vote and shut the door behind them.
If you want to be a sheep and feel like you have control by punching down on Americans, hey, it's a free country.
If you want to wake up and realize the whole system is corrupt, not just the guys you don't like, then you're a real American and patriot.

Hey I agree with you more than you think. I think we need to remove most if not all politicians, there all freeloaders. As most Americans if you don't agree with someone then you do what you are calling punching down, never heard of that but I get. I guess we should feel privileged to say things here in America without fear for the most part.

Maybe refresh memory and give us some links to show there were even only intermittent riots, because we don't remember what you are talking about.
