You know what's ironic about your attempt to be humorous, Mike? The violent liberal mobs looting and burning American cities didn't face "consequences"...but the protesters that stormed the Capital have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Americans are supposed to have equal protection under the law. That isn't the case anymore though. We have two tiers of law enforcement now...one that applies to liberals and one that applies to conservatives.
You know what's ironic about using direct quotes from Donald Trump and the MAGAt propagandists in the radical right media in your attempts to sound informed Oldstyle?
It has just the opposite effect.
See, they spun this false narrative about a "two tiered" justice system back when the first prosecutions of the Jan. 6th insurgents started in order to draw some false equivalency between the summer of 2020 BLM street riots and the failed coup attempt of Jan. 6th 2021.
First of all they aren't the same.
Pissed off Americans rioting in the streets over police brutality and a REAL, ACTUAL two-tiered approach by law enforcement toward black citizens as opposed to white citizens is NOT the same as a bunch of crazed cultists trying to lay seige on The U.S. Capitol to overthrow American demicracy simply because they did not like the election results.
The BLM riots only had to happen because all the PEACEFUL protests that had been going on already (like taking a knee during The National Anthem) weren't getting the right people's attention.
That's the way it works.
If people aren't paying attention to the peaceful message you've gotta get louder.
Break shit.
Burn shit.
The Jan. 6th insurgents didn't really even have a justifiable "cause" for their actions.
Their RUSE was they thought tgey were trying to "save" America from a "fraudulent" election.
But they knew better.
63 election challenges had already been thrown out of federal courts.
Pretty much EVERYBODY in the "know" outside of the cult was saying the sane thing.
The election was NOT stolen!
You LOST.
Get over it.
But they still did their damage anyway.
So no, the two things are not equal.
But even if they were your cult's narrative is still full of shit.
There were PLENTY of arrests and convictions of the BLM rioters from that summer.
The difference is THOSE people haven't been sitting in jails whining about being "politically persecuted."
It's a common refrain from some of those charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and their Republican allies: The Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views while those arrested during last year's protests over racial injustice were given leniency.
