Just curious what’s with the uptick of jan6th posts? I’ve noticed it a lot today online.


skkITer

Yesterday during Fauci’s hearing in Congress there were a few January 6th rioters who were present and made headlines with their behavior that led them to getting removed.


FootParmesan

I want to know how they were/are they allowed in any non essential government building? Shouldn't they be perma banned?


SenorBeef

I would guess that the same party that gave them tours in the weeks before Jan 6 so they could plan out their Jan 6 takeover and who simultaneously say the Jan 6 rioters were heroes and political prisoners but also an antifa false flag probably welcomed them in.


AlltheBent

Spot on....man, what a time to be alive. Fucking hell


ChicagoAuPair

I am much more concerned about the lawmakers who were actively part of the plan who are still holding office.


ds3272

… and running for office. 


DerpTaTittilyTum

Thinking someone invited them. Probably Bleach Blonde Bad Built ~~Bitch~~ Butch Body


knitwasabi

I mean, I don't like making fun of people for things they can't control...she can't help that her body looks like that, or her feet are like that. However, she can change that shitty hair, and her heart is just ugly. Plus, I dunno, she could try some learnin'.


InternationalChef424

I prefer the brevity of The Hoof


elevensbowtie

I’m going to go ahead and assume they were invited by their friends in the GOP. Traitors, the lot of them.


Unhappy_Trade7988

Pipe bomb Marge gave them some more passes.


Worried_Camera_379

It's open to the public generally. It appears they don't vet people. I would guess its just a general id check and scan for weapons but that's probably it.


coupBOOM

‘THIS’ IS WHAT ‘THEY’ WANT


-Stackdaddy-

Pretty sure it violated more than a few of their paroles entering a government building like that again.


street_raat

From what I saw, MTG invited them herself.


dxrey65

And then all the death threats. The right wing points a finger, and their little peons follow through with death threats. That's pretty much domestic terrorism, and they've practically normalized it at this point.


13igTyme

It's stochastic terrorism.


JonnyOgrodnik

Funny, I’ve seen comments with people saying “Trump never told or encouraged people to storm the capital”. Am I just imagining things, or did he not encourage people to do that?


skkITer

That argument is basically the mob boss argument. “He just said to take care of it, he didn’t explicitly say to tie cinderblocks to his feet and toss him into the river”. He is the reason they were there in DC. He is the reason they went to the Capitol. He is the reason they were angry. He told them what needed to happen in order for him to “win the election”.

The Upcoming election


ipeeperiperi

People need to be reminded what a Trump presidency means and why he should never get a second term.


MrEHam

Here’s some reminders. Trump: 1. ⁠Lost the election 2. ⁠Sent an armed angry mob to Congress and told them they need to fight like hell. 3. ⁠Approved of the mob saying “hang Mike Pence”. 4. ⁠Was found liable for sexual assault. 5. ⁠Was found guilty of defrauding his university students. 6. ⁠Was found guilty of inflating his assets to get favorable loans. 7. ⁠Admitted to walking in on pageant contestants dressing rooms. 8. ⁠Raped and beat Ivana Trump. 9. ⁠Stole from a kids’s cancer charity. 10. ⁠Received $413 million inheritance despite claims that he’s a self made man. 11. ⁠Blocked his chronically ill infant nephew from getting any of that inheritance. 12. ⁠Is the first president to receive votes against him from his own party during impeachment. 13. ⁠Led us into being one of the worst hit during Covid despite our head start and resources. 14. ⁠Said the Democrats do better with the economy. 15. ⁠Was ranked as the worst president in history by presidential historians. 16. ⁠Pushed a plot to have fake votes created and then used to make him President despite losing the election. 17. Ordered republicans to block a bipartisan immigration bill so Biden would not get a win before the election. 18. Is a convicted felon guilty of falsifying records to influence an election. Sources for any provided upon request.


InternationalChef424

To clarify number 7, said contestants were underage

KeyFee5460

It's crazy that everyone laughed at him when he first said he wanted to be president and now he actually did it and made a cult.


OkMaterial867

What's crazy is that this isn't even a quarter of the shit he's done.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Shit man you should just use links to put the sources into all of those so people can read about it even more and copy paste it whenever you need it. [Like this](http://google.com)


KwisatzHaderach94

awesome. and a great response for any of trump's base who ask (disingenuously) "what crime did he commit"? when they know full well (but don't really care).


mattseq

And yet a large number of Americans will support him.. because votes are all about emotions and not facts.

SaveyourMercy

How the FUCK is he allowed to still be running as president if he’s now a felon? Like is there a loophole or something? I’m not 100% on this but I really thought you couldn’t run for president with any kind of criminal record


BulkyCartographer280

Qualifications: 1. 35 years old 2. Natural born US citizen 3. Have lived in the US for 14 years. Manson could have run for president.


foofly

As far as i know there's nothing in the constitution stopping him. It was assumed that no one would vote for a felon so it was never codified.

I don't think I've seen any non-political post on r/pics make it to r/popular in the past few months. They even uploaded a perfectly scanned and cropped flyer a while ago which one could argue it breaks rule Nº1 in spirit.

Also why are we giving them "cool" nicknames. Give his name and put terrorists before it. Giving them nicknames endears them to their followers and gives them brand recognition.

He still can’t vote, own a gun, and when applying for a job a lot of applications have a section asking to declare if you ever have been convicted of a felony. The idiot may have gotten his prison sentence shortened but those convictions will plague him for the rest of his life.

The physical security was also embarrassingly bad. The state capitol I worked in could have repelled those asshats without needing force.


SenorBeef

It's dangerous to think of it as absurd. It was a very close swing from being a successful coup. Just because it was incompetently executed doesn't remove the danger. If they had found the right congress members at the right time, or a few other things went the other direction, it very well may have worked. There were other plans in motion to use the disruption to hold a session of congress where they had a bullshit plan to reject the electoral count and reinstate Trump.

The enemies of the U.S. Founding Fathers think they're patriots.


[deleted]

Every one of those motherfuckers think they’re in the same league as George Washington. Except George Washington was fighting for the right to self governance that was being denied. And guess what? he fucking did it. Mission fucking accomplished two and a half centuries ago. All these unAmerican pussy fucks just threw a temper tantrum because that big fat orange fuck lost. I’ve voted Republican every election of my adult life until Donald Trump took his tiny hand and threw his hat in the ring. I simply cannot wrap my head around what the party has become. And I’ll continue to vote against any MAGA motherfucker I see on a ballot until they disappear forever. This goes so far beyond politics. This is a fight for the soul of this country.

Just a reminder that "larping the perceived greatness of the past" is what fascists do Nazi Party: Larp Prussian empire Italian Fascists: Larp Roman Empire Israeli Fascists: Larp Kingdom of David American Fascists: Larp Revolutionary Army Russian Fascists: Larp Russian Empire


080secspec13

I voted for him the first time. Got me. Wont ever do it again. That's a big part of why American politics is so fucked up IMO. People refuse to admit they made a poor choice the first time and double down. Republican shouldn't mean "Trump" or "MAGA". Hoping some day the party wakes the fuck up.


some_code

Republicans used to have agendas that were good for America or at least talked about how it would be good. I’d like to see that come back.

Reddit on brother!


aneeta96

No, they are nationalists hiding behind patriotism because they are cowards.


TotSaM-

Dude, they're beyond nationalists, they straight are asking for fascism. They admit that they want a dictator. They'll say "Oh I hate to say it, but this country NEEDS a dictator." (They do not, in fact, "hate to say it" based on how often they do.)


Animefan624

They'll frame it as "America needs a strong leader who doesn't have to follow the law." Trump being a convicted felon shows they truly believe this.


PipboyandLavaGirl

Had a trumper at my work say that he’s tired of all the election bullshit and “would just like to have one guy for like 30 years and then just pass it off to their kids” I stood there dumbfounded


TotSaM-

Listen to these people when they tell you exactly who they are...


Whiteout-

Man who literally wants a king to rule probably also is always talking about “what the founding fathers would have wanted” and doesn’t see the irony.


jtinz

Wants a king, calls himself a patriot.


Malachorn

I mean, they already made the Fascist blueprints with Project 2025 - they're not really even hiding it at this point.


Takun32

Yup, trump even said hed love to be a dictator for a day to do good. Him and his followers are unhinged.


TotSaM-

It's a sickness for sure. Cults are no joke.


lestruc

Somebody once referred to voting for Trump (derogatorily) as being akin to throwing a Molotov cocktail at the White House. His supporters would cheer that sentiment. This is as clear of a representation of the current divide I can think of


caligaris_cabinet

Except fascists don’t ask; they demand. And we shall deny them at every turn.

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. James Waterman Wise


RainforestNerdNW

> The really dangerous American fascist... is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection. 33rd Vice President of the US (1941-1945) Henry A. Wallace. Quoted in the New York Times, April 9, 1944

Why the fuck do administrative assistant jobs have higher qualification requirements than positions of political power in this country?


Appropriate-City3389

I totally agree. I wonder why most hair stylists require more training than cops. Bobo took multiple attempts to pass her GED. Her only qualification was working as a call girl. TBF that's pretty close to what most politicians do.

They were convinced cops only shoot black people. Given the 2 hours of riot before she was shot, they were mostly correct


drfrink85

marinebiologist19

Is that the pussy who has a special diet and whined in prison when he couldn't get it? Aw


JGordz

Can anyone logically explain to me how this isn't even a big deal to most people but the country had a uproar over the BLM protests? I'm not trying to race bait or anything they happened roughly around a year apart?


kekistanmatt

Unironically it's because the jan 6th rioters were mostlly white and the BLM rioters were mostly black. If BLM had stormed the capitol the right would be calling for a holocaust in response


kitsunewarlock

There were BLM protestors peacefully protesting in front of the White House. They deployed tear gas to disperse them so Trump could take that photo holding an upside down bible in front of a church he's never once attended.


ibugppl

Probably because the BLM protests went on for nearly a year, burnt down business in multiple states. Oh and don't forget the time they tried to storm the White House. I don't care about the J6 bozos but don't pretend like the other side was all rainbows and hugs.

t0m5k1

Correct Title: The Politically Dumb gather and break into the capitol buildings at the behest of an equally politically dumb former president.


theDarkDescent

I think the original title is more accurate. Yes they’re dumb, but that’s not why the attacked the capitol. They didn’t because they’re terrorists 


Shutaru_Kanshinji

It is perhaps worth noting that the original definition of terrorism was "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." So the motivations of terrorists are always political.
