You're reasonable, most lefties in this thread are not. Most lefties label anyone who was there that day, regardless of being in the building or not as insurrectionists and traitors. I follow several local/state politicians who were there that day to peacefully protest, and committed no crime, certainly didn't go into the capitol building, but I see lefties everyday on their social media pages calling for them to resign or be charged with treason simply because they were there. They're unhinged.
They've screamed 'insurrection and traitor' from the day it happened, yet now suddenly they champion one of the most well known "traitor's and insurrectionist's" that was there. Why?
They wanted Trump to hang for telling people to peacefully go to the capitol and protest, but Epps, he didn't commit any crime at all.
Pure hypocrisy.
The problem is that you and the Right are being inconsistent. I grew up during the Reagan Years. That man had core beliefs. Those were such a strong part of him he could speak on them and explain his beliefs off the cuff. I wonāt lie and say I supported all his beliefs. But he would not ignore them just to āgetā them.
The principles of the modern Conservative Era are founded in what Reagan ran on and governed by. His core beliefs. The modern people are wimps compared to him. Obstructionist Congress? Reagan had a majority Democrat house run by Tip OāNeil. Nancy Pelosi was not even a pale shadow compared to Tip. Tip OāNeil was so powerful that he got the funding to spend billions on highways in Boston. Billions in 1980ās dollars. Construction so difficult they had to literally freeze the ground to make it hard enough to dig through.
Yet Reagan got his tax cuts through. He got SDI through. And both were declared dead on arrival in Congress.
The problem isnāt the Liberals or the Left. The problem is the Right. You guys have abandoned all your core beliefs. Your only belief now is to hurt them. No matter what the issue is you guys take a knee jerk position opposite to them. Think Iām wrong? Take guns.
Trump ordered the banning of Bump Stocks after the Vegas Massacre. Instead of howling about him being a gun grabber the folks on the right took one of two positions. Bump Stocks are junk anyway and it doesnāt matter. Trump made a mistake but thatās fine he is still totally a supporter of the Second.
Now we have a huge thread where folks on the right fantasizing about the Civil War that would result if Biden banned guns by Executive Order.
Look at this thread. You guys have spent two years arguing that the people inside the Capital were not engaging in an insurrection. Now you are arguing that the people outside were.
Take some time. Figure out your core beliefs.
