we are at this point because they’ve done this for years unchecked. whew some here really don’t get what has happened, and still get their knees knocking over what the left will say. Look at all they’ve already said and done. Anyone who buys into it already was on their side.

Love Trump.....

Have his flag flying out front.....

However, He whipped up further an already very angry crowd and in his own words “go to the capital building”

The result was inevitable...

This was bad judgement on President Trump’s part....he should have calmed down the crowd and focused that anger in a more productive direction.....

I am a Trump MAGA supporter. I would never condone lawlessness of any kind nor do I believe would Trump or his supporters.
Whoever engaged in any unlawful or violent behavior yesterday betrayed Trump, his supporters and all of America. We should loudly condemn it.

His policies must be a part of America’s future and we must support them.

Let’s put our energy into forming a true conservative party.

Patriots focused on the wrong people.

The media - the Leftist Propaganda Machine, the Fourth Branch - should have been the hard focus.

THEY have the eyes, ears and minds of the ignorant citizens.
THEY get D’rats elected.
THEY hide truths and repeat lies.
THEY hire D’rats to work and speak for them.
THEY are the enemy of our republic (the word they NEVER use to describe America).

“Trump’s rage ignites mob assault on democracy”

Oh, no, no. This is not an “assault on democracy”. As you Leftists like to chant, “This is what democracy looks like”.

You wanted it. You defended your mobs looting and burning by chanting it. You killed us openly on the streets of Portland and Denver in its name. You’ve smashed windows, wrecked people’s livelihoods, frightened families, seized control of territory, all in the name of “democracy”.

You have called democracy out of the pits of Hell where it originates and where it belongs, and now you’ve got it.

OK. Deal’s done. Let’s see where democracy can take us.

Remember when BLM burned St. John’s Church? Trump was vilified for that and the police were the bad guys for moving them out. And no one was shot, not even a 14 year Air Force female veteran.

I think the MSM media is much to blame. They stoked the violence last summer, encouraged insurrection, Their heavily biased reporting increases the frustration of voters to be heard. There needs to warning labels on their content. They are more important than the voters now.

There were righteous patriots.

But don’t miss the fact that the deep state put antifa there to start trouble. Their mission was to make Trump supporters look bad.

Have you not learned their playbook yet?

Its either they were justified in the disorderly conduct... or there were bad actors who started trouble. It can’t be both ways.
