January 6th's "Peaceful Protest" vs "Stop The Steal"

[MarcATL]

These phrases are diametrically opposed to one another.

A peaceful protest is simply an individual, or group, peacefully protesting a government communicating their dislike or disapproval of some thing, or things they're doing and/or have done. No biggie, and actually a constitutional right.

However, to "stop the steal", is signifying an action via "stop" to put an end, typically immediately to whatever it is you believe is unacceptable. There's no way to do this peacefully if the party you want to stop doesn't intend on stopping.

So now we have MAGA arguing two opposite things, a pasttime it seems, at the same time. Essentially wanting to have their cake and eat it to.

So what it is it guys, was January 6th 2021 a peaceful protest, or was it an event to "stop the steal." Which is what MAGATs were saying for months before that event?

Take your pick.

I welcome you to start a thread about the #BlackLivesMatter protests.

Peaceful protest that had some participants get out of hand. Was it sabotaged or violence instigated by outsiders is a question needing answered.
No, I am not a extreme right winger. I am a registered Democrat and just right of the middle politically.

I'd appreciate your vote in the poll.

Peaceful protest that was infiltrated by feds, whose job was to turn it into the semblance of what the left wanted -- a so-called insurrection to blame on President Trump.

If folk listen to Trump's boring speech before the protest, he asked for a peaceful protest, and as crowd mentality normally goes at such protests, violence kicked off.

So my choice is -

"I'm centre Right, and it was an intended peaceful protest that resulted in violence"

Trump made it clear the election was stolen and that it was up to the crowd to stop it.

He didn’t tell them how……just that they must do it

There is no option in your poll that fits.

I am a conservative independent who would call it a protest against the stolen 2020 election. The FBI dressed as Trump supporters, instigated violence and a few idiots took the bait.

Coupled with the lying MSM they tried to "sell it" as an insurrection just to keep Trump off any future ballot. They even horribly abused 1500 Americans and falsely imprisoned and tortured them...which they are doing to this day.

The democrat filth just round up 200 more Americans they will try to torture in the next 12 days with their false claims of "insurrection".

But of course you haven't heard about that right?

Trump drove the crowd into a frenzy and then told them to go peacefully.

Once the mob turned violent, he never bothered to remind them or tell them to stop

No, most people are truly either left leaning or right leaning, even if they shift positions between elections.

No cop outs.

No option for me in the poll.
It wasnt peaceful at the end. It turned into a riot. Anything beyond that is hyperbole IMO.

Of course, thats BS that has been debunked over and over and over and over. Look at the jan 6th timeline of events, liar.

Can you describe the rhetoric and intent of "stop the steal" then?

Sorry, but what Trump said and what you wanted to hear are polar opposites. The FBI disagrees with you and the J6 committee quickly shredded all their "We got him" evidence.

In essence, your J6 beliefs don't match reality and you will go on forever and a day stamping your feet and screaming it was an insurrection. So I can't help you, I'm not a doctor.

It was a protest that turned into a riot where some people entered the Capitol and did bad things, and many others were just there.

If people really thought the election was being stolen, would that not be a legitimate thing to protest? Mind you, no protest should turn violent, but the police in the crowd that day, with their stun grenades, and their agitation, didn't help to diffuse thr situation, but I digress, thr riot shouldn't have happened, and those who actually committed violence should be punished with whatever punishment meets the violence they committed.

I don't see leftys making this big a deal about when leftys rioted at the white house. Or all the riots of 2020.

Yes, as you just said, most are.

Nancy Pelosi takes responsibility for J6, she should have approved the National Guard on J3 as requested by Capitol Police Chief Sund.

Nancy Pelosi says ‘I take responsibility’ for not having National Guard at the Capitol on Jan. 6 in video shot by her own daughter​

In the same way as Stop Your Community Centre Closing. You could cheer and hold a protest march. You could raise funds. You could go to the press. You could contact your local councillor. You can do all these to Stop your community centre closing, you know, fight for what you believe is right.

Then you have to consider, where was the Democrat vote this time? Logic concludes that they either stayed at home or the Democratic vote in 2020 was somehow inflated.

The over 2200 peaceful George Floyd protests were held because the public saw an actual police murder. The Saltine Rebellion was done based on nothing.
