If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

We watched for eight months as actual fucking insurrections took place in leftist-controlled urban hellholes. And NOW you drag out your 'omg this is terrible convict all dese traiters'.

I hope this was worth it. The next guy won't be Trump. He'll most likely be Pinochet.

Have fun with that.

I guess the people get the government they deserve. Just a bunch of bickering children on both sides, while the politicians do the bidding of the rich & powerful.

I'm not sure how not storming Capitol Building would have stopped politicians from NOT doing the bidding of the rich & powerful. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's never going to stop until an actual revolution takes place.

How many revolutions do you know of that actually helped anyone except the power class?

How many politicians have stopped serving the rich and powerful by you continuing to vote them into office? Or by voting someone "different", like AOC?

The government is corrupt to the core. It's not a matter of whether or not revolutions historically have helped common people. It's a matter of this government being beyond saving, and both parties are in on it, and so is the MSM. Which is why we've been in endless wars for decades and the first time the MSM ever sucked Trump's dick was when he dropped a giant bomb (MOAB) in Afghanistan. This government is never going to change voluntarily, and politicians will never stop serving the rich and powerful.

14 Senators were going to support the objection to the election.
After today, only 6 stuck with that plan.

That proportion looks about right, nationally, for what I think just happened to his overall support. A bit more than half of his former supporters finally said enough is enough. And those 8 Senators saw the way the winds had just changed.

LMAO do you seriously think the senate is a good cross-section of trump supporters, or in any way representative? 

Doctor, heal thy self of wistful fantasies.  People world-wide are angry about what the oligarchs have delivered.

Even in Japan they're marching for Trump, lol. In Japan.  They know what happens if Wall Street continues humping China for cheap and slave labor.

I'm glad you post here because I can just get crazy ass conspiracy nonsense effortlessly delivered to my computer instead of waiting on random homeless people in convenience store parking lots to hand me napkins with manifestos written on them

Do you mean actual "actual injustice"?  Or is it "systemic" "actual injustice" that no one can find?

My point is everyone feels justified. If you were really being fair, you would put both in the most favorable wording.

Who caused the damage in the Capitol today?
Who actually stormed the Building today?
Who wants anarchy?

Think back to Nov. 3rd
