America shouldn't be a country.
That's completely messed up. Party of law and order my ass.
Because Trump supporters are a bunch of hypocritical hive minded puppets. They complain about the BLM riots but then the moment they don't get their way they throw a hissy fit and do the exact same thing. Not that I expected anything more from these lunatics.
Thank god, I'm not Amercian.

I envy that
There is a difference between the White House and the U.S. Capitol. They did not breach the White House. The U.S. Capitol is where Congress presides, whereas the White House is where the President lives. I can assure you that if they breached the White House, it'd be a much more severe situation.
mfw these people make fun of the brits
@Xen#4656 they wouldn't go for the white house, currently -- trump publicly encouraged them to go to the capitol.
@Darth#4649 That's the point. Every politician in DC is a hypocrite. Even the "good ones" such as Sanders certainly have some icky points. Money out of politics bois
@root#4659
To be fair to Mr. Trump: He tweeted:
QuoteI am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

I.e. he never advocated for violence at the capitol, but that's not to say that he certainly hasn't indirectly encouraged this vile behaviour. This is his legacy. Crying about "election fraud" when none of the court cases were taken seriously.
I disagree with veering this in to a race debate, as if black people would simply have been shot en masse. Perhaps they would've been treated differently some-what, but either way: if you open up fire on a group of "patriots" (lmao) equipped with firearms, then that's just a clear recipe for disaster. That is simply the reason for nobody getting shot. And I also disagree with chanting the police brutality shown in clips of these rioters: police brutality is wrong, even if its against somebody you disagree with. Do I personally think they "deserve" getting a good beating? Yeah, undermining a democracy is no cool, but principally I disagree with it.
These people should simply be called for what they are: terrorists.
This is like when Hillary lost, and the Democratic establishment claimed Trump was a manchurian candidate installed by Russia. Russiagate happened, and none of the following investigations found any evidence of this. For emotional protection, the Dem party developed this shitty narrative, and now this exact same shitty narrative is now being taken to the extreme by the radical right. Alternative reality 101.
im so proud to be lesbain i dont have to deal with this problem
I just absolutely love the claims that I've been hearing that the rioters are ANTIFA with Trump flags💀
Nicely fitting the trend of "oh fuck this looks bad let's make up some outlandish baseless claim to cover our ass" that trump loyalists seem to follow...
Trump said to keep it peaceful - I would through the fact that they are Biden or Trump supporters and look at the fact that these are American citizens and this is what our country is becoming.
Though what I have seen has been mostly peaceful, there has been some injuries and whatnot and I honestly took a nap because I just simply cannot believe what is happening.
It seems these events have actually helped the certification process of President-Elect Joe Biden. Many Republican congressmen and women were planning on objecting to the certification, but their minds have since changed due to the breach on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.
If those weren't white people, you'd be hearing news of how many people were killed in attempt to storm the Capitol and the White House.

At one point, one group of cops even opened the barriers for them. I can't believe what I'm seeing.
I hate this country.
