I watched those Jan 6 riots live and it was literally just a glorified tour of the Capitol and idiots tasering their own balls, why the fuck are libs so spooked
Liberals think power works like Duck Duck Goose. All you need to do to become king is to sneak your butt into the throne. They literally can't tell the difference between a riot in the capital (Jan 6th) and a nation-wide insurgency culminating in a seige of the capital.
Probably the same reason they thought Hong Kong was going to be a revolution when the demonstrators got into the parliament and spraypainted the chamber.
This is probably also why libs believe in moral contagion through movies and books. They also thought the cast of Hamilton talking to Mike Pence would do something.
This is going too far in the right direction. Sure, in hindsight, it's easy to see how disorganized the chuds were and easy to reach the conclusion that there was no possible way it could have accomplished anything significant. But it did create a chaotic situation and at least a credible pretense of popular support for Trump, all while you have Trump openly saying he wants to remain in power and while you have a bunch of high-ranking opposing politicians trapped right there in one building. If a coup is carefully building a campfire and deliberately starting it, this was something like shoving a bunch of mediocre kindling into a pile and passing the matches around. It didn't happen, but it created conditions where it could happen.
american libs have been really into the islamophobic "y'all queda/republican christian fundamentalists are the same as muslim fundamentalist" thing for a while. it's their way of "no u"ing republicans when it comes to who can hate muslims more by comparing republicans to muslims.
TFW you're such a fucking brainlet you think that an ideology that has conquered the world and lead both the Holocaust and extermination of native Americans and some incel warlords in the middle East are the same thing.
Because this website is full of racist white people doing lazy mental gymnastics pretending to be leftists(poorly), I mean they don't even put any effort into changing the wording and being slightly subversive, its just word for word the same shit talking heads like tucker carlson spew
He was the one who coined calling jan 6th a "glorified white house tour" and its the only way "leftists" here refer to it, pretty telling when you just repeat right wing propaganda word for word and can't come up with your own takes then you are not a leftist of any stroke, but just a boring standard right winger
I think it has a lot to do with the spectacle of it. It really was unprecedented seeing the US capitol get "occupied," but like it wasn't a real insurgency, there was no actual millitary support. The government never really lost control. Everything was basically fine, but the imagery was striking, so it basically became 9/11 in the liberal popular imagination.
Dude it was horrific optics for the right-wing in general. Lefties are too dumb to see that. Glorified tour? 5 people died bro, does that matter to you?
Can someone explain this to a non-American

The knots people twist themselves into when they believe history is driven by ideas.

They kind of are the same. Why do Christian fundamentalists hate Muslim fundamentalists so much?
Racism probably? Competing faith too, the fundies even hated the catholics for a long while
Truth is white supremacists are worse than Islamic fundamentalists. (jfc why would anyone upvote this? All of you are insane.)

Shouldn't you be at brunch

What's it like getting your worldview from Twitter?

90% of the american political experience post-1945 is looking at things on a screen in a cornfield

To be somewhat fair to the overdramatic libs, they did beat up the pigs, break through the windows, hunt for politicians, and get shot in the chest
