Syria is a real insurgency, Jan 6th wasn't

[task0778]

The only people calling J6 an insurrection and/or coup are Democrats and their supporters. What authoritative body has called it one of these names?

It was a riot replete with vandalism. That’s it.

IMHO, it wasn't even a riot, but rather a peaceful protest that got out of hand. Illegal to be sure, and some vandalism but as far as I know the only people with guns were the cops.

Ah, it took them 10 years and a lot of ammunition to overthrow the government in Syria, before successfully overthrowing the leader and forcing him to flee the country, leaving it in the hands of those that have fought against the tyranny supported by Moscow, to keep control over the people. Who knows, Trumpers might not take as long to overthrow legitimate constitutional control and rule of law in this country. They were just real stupid the first time, being more of a dry run. Now they have political power and department heads moving in place to help overthrow the pillars of democratically elected representative government and the constitution and laws that underpin its existence. They have a real shot at it, now. We could have a top-down, controlled government, serving the new plutocrats and oligarchs much more effectively and with a blind eye to cronyism and breaches of what we now know as laws, before you know it.

The vast majority of Syrians support Assad.
This is NOT a popular uprising at all like you imply.
This is a foreign paid coup.

Doesn't matter if he settles for it or not. He now has 24 months until the mid terms, after which he is a lame duck. Then he's going to have to settle for irrelevance. Something he's not going to be able to deal with, mentally, or emotionally.

Trump will leave office a broken, and humiliated fool. Just like he did the first time.

If he survives his second term, for whatever reasons.

I do not like Trump, but his term in 2016 was much better than Biden's in 2020.
Trump had no wars, while Biden started and paid for 2 wars that are bankrupting the whole country.

The Defund The Police crowd sure got behind the police to shoot unarmed suspects that day.

It all depends on who got shot.

TDS has broken your brain.

Put the Koolaid down and step away.

You mean to tell me, the right wing in Missouri have been against US interests in Syria for 10 years and have been supporting Assad? While not impressive, by any means, I didn't think that little of you.

Who paid for it? Show me the money.

 

[TimFitz]

You're just jealous because they are doing so much better than you guys did.

No, it was an attempted coup.

 

[Moonglow]

If you wanna know what a real insurgency looks like, check out what's going on in Syria today. Jan 6 was a protest that got out of hand but it wasn't an insurgency. For sure it was illegal and those involved were punished for it as they should be. But calling it an insurgency is like saying a murder was committed but nobody died.

Syria is not at the stage of Trump voters bum rushing the Capitol, Syria is at the stage where we advise that zips are in the wire.

Only the OP called it an insurgency. He was working an obvious false equivalency.

Jan 6th was a coup attempt. It was a pre meditated, pre planned coup attempt. The plans for the coup are well documented. Most of the White Hous staff, and the Republican leadership were either participants, or were read in on the plot.

The participants in the riot were recruited by a months long false campaign in right wing media.

 

[Orangecat]

Jan 6th was an attempted coup, not an insurgency.

They could’ve burned the entire building to the ground and our government would still have gone on. Stop being silly.

 

[skye]

Now a bunch of terrorists rule Syria.

Isn't that charming? YAY

 

[Ringo]

The secular Assad regime, like the Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein regimes, will be remembered warmly by Syrians against the backdrop of what awaits them.
That was a very easy prediction.

It's very sad that you are so broken you can't even identify the crazy part ...

But I'll happily do it for you

THIS is the crazy ...

"Who knows, Trumpers might not take as long to overthrow legitimate constitutional control and rule of law in this country. They were just real stupid the first time, being more of a dry run.

I really miss sane White6...maybe with time and therapy he will return eventually.

Trump was who brought these ideas, not me. It could have been just bullsh!t for the MAGA folk in the campaign. Of course the MAGA folk say he does what he says he will do. Some of the cabinet pics, seem perfect to support his campaign crap, without too much attention to law. I am a wait and see guy, so I will wait and see what his day one dictator thing will be like. At what point do we not take him at his word, as if words did not have meaning?

Please post what words from Trump you are specifically referring to.

Not an article that explains what he was supposedly saying, but the words straight from his mouth, in context.

I would appreciate that, so we are on the same page.

What authority ruled it a coup attempt or insurrection? You lost your case at “we’re well documented” yet provided no independent validation or supporting data. Let’s see some of that “well documented”.

Former President Donald Trump mocked questions about authoritarianism on Tuesday, saying he would be a dictator only on "day one," and then he's going to close the border and get to drilling.

"After that, I'm not a dictator, OK?" the Republican presidential frontrunner told Fox News host Sean Hannity before a very friendly crowd in Davenport, Iowa.

Donald Trump says he will be a 'dictator' only on 'day one.' Then he'll focus on drilling.

Former president and current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump mocks concern that he wants to be a dictator.

Mind you, I do not support it. I just understand the goals. We don't even know if Trump will settle for not being able to run again.

So, you are a conspiracy nut who thinks he will overthrow the government, you wingnut you! I have one answer. JD Vance.

Pardon me, but have you sought help for your TDS?
