Pardoning the insurrectionists and seditionists is trump way of building loyalty with militias and domestic terrorists so they will carry out "unofficial" actions for him.

He thinks the Proud Boys have a place in government...

Like Biden and all those criminals he pardoned is a way of building loyalty and organized crime and domestic terrorists so they will carry out “unofficial” actions for him?

Yeah, like bum rushing the Capitol for an election lie.

Not a fan of free speech eh? Figures.

Well, I still see plenty of problems and counterproductive behaviors on both ends of the spectrum, and I don't understand why we're supposed to ignore those on either end.

I never say that the two ends are the same or equal.

Pretending not to see something seems pretty dishonest to me. It's one of many behaviors the two ends share, and I don't get it.

Yes it did and it is recorded for posterity, along with a pardon to allow the criminals to walk free.

You're response is extreme, I never said to ignore anything.

I specifically used the words "bothsidesism and false equivalency", note especially the latter.

It's dangerous, and we're witnessing it.

Then I don't understand. Am I supposed to ignore and avoid discussing what I see or not?

If not, then there is no problem discussing what I see on both sides.

Yeah, you don't understand.

Discuss it honestly, if one guy stole a can of soup and another guy just killed his girlfriend in a fit of rage, you don't put them before the judge saying "Your Honor, here I present to you two criminals" as if what they did are equivalent. You give more context.

That's what you've been sorely lacking.

Starting to get it now?

And you never will. Just like leftists.
