Demographics of the Insurrectionists

[candycorn]

Now that I have a little time here at the end of the year, I was catching up on some old Podcasts. Two of which highlighted an Atlantic Magazine article from February. Their team analyzed the demographics of the 1/6 insurrectionists and they found some, what I thought, were surprising commonalities. I'll start at the end....

Why?

It explains the anger...the trump voters were marginalized and this was one way they can lash out.

The article continues:

"First, the attack on the Capitol was unmistakably an act of political violence, not merely an exercise in vandalism or trespassing amid a disorderly protest that had spiraled out of control. The overwhelming reason for action, cited again and again in court documents, was that arrestees were following Trump’s orders to keep Congress from certifying Joe Biden as the presidential-election winner. Dozens of arrestees, court records indicate, made statements explaining their intentions in detail on social media or in interviews with the FBI. “I am incredibly proud to be a patriot today,” wrote a 37-year-old man from Beverly Hills, California, “to stand up tall in defense of liberty & the Constitution, to support Trump & #MAGAforever, & to send the message: WE ARE NEVER CONCEDING A STOLEN ELECTION.”

Lots of good stuff and statistical breakdowns.

The Capitol Rioters Aren’t Like Other Extremists

We analyzed 193 people arrested in connection with the January 6 riot—and found a new kind of American radicalism.

Jan. 6, Jan. 6, Jan. 6....... Geez.




It was a political protest that got out of control. Simple.


BLM riots were political protests that got out of control. Simple.


We good now? We happy?

They're average age was 45.

A very old crowd.

No wonder there were so many heart attacks.

How can they be insurrectionists when not one person has been charged with insurrection?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Funny stuff but nothing compared to the carnage that occurred in the BLM, antifa riots from the previous year and a half in which there were murders, rapes, arson, theft, pillaging, destruction of private property etc.

Mobs & riots are not ok Ever. Defending one or the other for political propaganda reasons Why would you do that?

Well, its just one of those mysteries.

Because one is a partisan hack.

Trumpanzees have been brainwashed into thinking it's "the others" that are causing all their problems. This is an old trick that has been used many times by politicians. It's simply a deflection tactic as we all know the REAL problem is the corporations that dont pay people enough, pay the politicians too much, and the legislatures that dont give its citizens any return on their tax dollar.

You leftists just as well read common children's books, and in fact, they'd do much to improve your heads. It's a cost/benefit thing, leftism comes only at a cost.

New force of politics they say, Oooooooooo, Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! the little train that shouldn't.

Broad mass of political unit they say, oh man, that train is big.

Even from places where Trump supporters are a minority.............OMG, that train may be your grandmother, or worse the neighbor next door inside your otherwise community safe-space.


Where's the part about real life? You're talking about hundreds of people when in real life it's leftists who prove to be the anarchists in numbers & incidents, clearly supported by the left's elite? But that's not a children's book, right leftist?

The demographics of the WHAT? When was there an insurrection?
