Supporters of former President Trump argue they were merely doing what they thought the nation’s leader had asked.

As we all know, the standard Trumpster response to anything that happened at our nation's Capitol is "whataboutism". What about the summer riots? Deflect, change the subject, attack. So, Trump supporters, since you're so interested in comparisons, here's your challenge. Here's what happened after the attack on the Capitol:
- 5 Americans dead or dying
- 140 American police injured, some permanently
- America's Capitol has been sacked
How does the
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES react?
- "We Love You"
- "You're Special"
- "This is What Happens".
So this thread is your chance to put all your whataboutisms in one place. Show us some solid comparisons. Maybe words by DEMOCRATIC Presidents after riots. Show us why this is no big deal. Show us how the Democrats have done the same thing many times.
Let's collect them here. Go ahead.
Sadly, the trump Nazis are unable to follow the simple instructions you gave them in your OP.
Their responses are their standard blather, flights of fantasy, conspiracy theories, and just plain bullsh!t.
The trump Nazis are so accustomed to the lies they've been told over, and over, and over, and over, that truth and the ability to discuss topics rationally has become totally foreign to them.
The GOP developed the twisted mindset in their right-wing voter base over a period of decades, entire generations have grown up hearing nothing but the Republican propaganda. Year upon year of the rhetoric, which constantly encourages their racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and the many other negative characteristics that have become the "values" of conservatism.
However, for most, if not all, of the trump Nazis, being hammered by the GOP's fatalistic propaganda was a choice they made, eagerly. It's effect turned these tens-of-millions of people into "patriots" not of their nation, but to a destructive political party that put their "patriots" on a self-destructive course.
The trump presidency has been the unintended culmination of the Republican Party's many years of hard work. Now, Party leaders must find a way to return the 74 million trump Nazis to the fold. But, their brief experience with trump's fascism and his embrace of the white supremacists
makes the GOP too "liberal" for the former rank-and-file. And politicians like Cruz and Hawley are the crooked opportunists ready to jump in and fill the void left by trump's departure.
