There is no way that I believe the violence was caused by supporters of President Trump. I would bet that the Antifa crowd under the direction of Soros was behind it.

The perspective that dare not be discussed:

People are legitimately pissed off, they’re sick of all of this, and they don’t care anymore.

> Election fraud cannot be allowed to win the day, but this is a states’ rights issue.

Bullshit. There has to be oversight on behalf of the other, relatively-law-abiding states.

A little pushback and the pundits start clutching their pearls.

Of course! The burden of proof is on anyone who says anything else.

Mob actions have consequences.

No they don't. We witnessed an entire summer of mob violence and murders and the rioters are walking scot free. So are the ones who organized and paid them to riot.

join those who will lobby state legislators to secure election integrity

Another one who thinks the system works and is not rigged against us. They openly cheated and it was ignored by everyone. What the hell do you think is going to happen now that they have absolute power? Lobby your legislators, what a stupid statement at this point in time.

What BS. This is not a states right issue. When the state is so corrupt a to allow this kind of corruption then the Feds need to step in. The Feds have no problem stepping in on other supposed states rights issue so why not this one. It is because the entire government, including legislatures, courts, FBI, DoJ etc are corrupt from top to bottom.

Not enough people are pissed off. The old axiom still stands: sometimes people need to feel a little pain to be drawn to action. This isn’t the end. This is the beginning.

The only part I find inexcusable was that the perps obviously were unprepared and uncommitted.

“one person is not more important than our republic and our track record of peaceful transitions”

It wasn’t the President that the pro-Trump protestors were supporting, it was our Democracy stolen from us in a fraud-ridden election. We have had a record (supposedly) of fraud free elections, but this one is blatant and different from the others. It needs a different, and perhaps visceral, response.

I am amazed as to the pussbags are who want to fold and crawl under their beds. They are as bad and spineless traitors as Romney.

We are a nation of laws.

No, we most certainly are NOT. The last four years, and the 2020 election and everything that has happened since, demonstrate that beyond any doubt.

The problem is that the crowd - well, the movement in general - had no leaders.

People have coalesced around the cause, but the fact that a group of our people were willing to run into the building to follow a notorious nutcase wearing face paint and Viking garb shows that there’s a problem here.

To my knowledge, there weren’t any organizers or organizing entity, there was no common plan, and the crowd was just wide-open for manipulation, either by Antifa agents or by nuts on our own side.

Of course, the social media platforms and the press have worked very hard to discredit any conservative leadership, deplatform them, and silence them. And this is the result, a mob set off by a crazy person.

We need leadership. Trump wasn’t cut out for that role; he may be an inspiration, but he’s not the leader of a movement. And another problem is that unless sane, principled people come forward to build organizations and assume leadership, somebody not sane and not principled at all may come forward and grab the role. It’s happened before.

BS! Tell that to Gen Flynn. There is a two tired system in America. One for liberals and one for conservatives. And the people that are supposed to represent us as conservatives treat us like we are dirty vermin. This can not stand any longer. We've been subjected to a lower class in a caste system set-up by the liberals. We fight back, just one, using the liberals own tactics and we are labeled insurrectionist. They can say what they want, but I do not subscribe to this BS!

“If you have concerns, join those who will lobby state legislators to secure election integrity by passing state laws to ensure that.”

Right, we’re going to vote our way back to fair elections because the criminals who count our votes will totally let that happen.
