Peacefully gathering doesn’t involve smashing windows while heavily armed, shooting stuff, and occupying government buildings.
That sounds like a slightly more violent version of Lenin’s takeover of Petrograd.

I condemn what they're doing, I said I believe the people should have the right to peacefully gather rather than do what they are doing now. I never said they were peacefully gathering.

Ah okay.

Freshwoman Congressman Mary Miller (R-IL) caught saying "Hitler was right" at today's Trump rally

Jesus fucking christ.

There might be some context that's being missed.

Can I call them fascists now without getting the whole "You don't know what fascism is" spiel?

I mean she specifically said Hitler was right about saying whomever has the youth has the future...which is true.

She could've not mentioned she agreed with Hitler to make that point. It kinda shows her true colors. And they're red and black arranged into a broken cross.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

What’s to add about that post other than the obvious thing we know: Trump is a fucking tool.

I feel like you haven't seen it. He told them to go home.

I have. Opened with saying elections were stolen. Nice way to throw more fuel to the fire. Then told them to go home and “be angry”. Nice presidential de-escalation tactics. Much wow. Mhm.

Silence, you and your context. We don't allow any of that in here.

Maybe don't quote Hitler if you don't want people to get the wrong idea.

Please don't compare it to a cool thing

Cringe take.

[Kexholm Karelia]

As someone who supports abolition of police entirely but also dislikes those far-right protestors, I'm having conflicted feelings right now.

What’s far right? Most of those protestors are just normal Trump supporters

Yeah...that should go without saying, but alas....

[Cordel One]

He was dripping with sarcasm when he said that.

lmao no he wasn't

"They stole the election but go away, it's all horrile but we need peace, we can't let them win but this is not okay..."

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

The sooner the better.

Fuck Trump and his cult.

Iirc he called himself the Law and Order candidate.

And I’m the Pope. \o/

Better than saying "stay here and be angry"

So far right

[Trollzyn the Infinite]

The individuals--who have been incorrectly identified as "Americans"--who are attempting to subvert the lawful Federal Government of the United States of America, her Constitution, and the democratic process because their cryptofascist cult leader lost a free and fair election.

Who else?

A. Trump is not a fascist
B. He did lose
C. These nuts are traitors.

I didn't say he was a fascist, I said he was a cryptofascist.

2. Moving goalposts from "They did it to de-escalate" to "They would've died if they did it."

Pick one and stick with it please.

In fairness, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

[Chan Island]

Protesters clearly found a way to the other side of the fence already, I wouldn't be surprised if they took the fence down so as not to agitate the crowd.

Either way Capitol police dropped the ball and need to be investigated as to how they let this happen.

And took selfies with the protestors inside the Capitol building.

Mossad has been notified. Please do not resist

Normal Trump supporters voted for him because he's a Republican. These guys are far-right insurrectionists.

Yes, both of those things can be true at once. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Plenty of people said that, she didn't need to mention Hitler. Let's start being honest about it, a bunch of right wing fascists have stormed the US Capital building.

[Jedi Council]

Jesus fucking christ.

No no, I understand the context; but surely, if one wants to make a quote about winning the hearts and minds of the youth, there are better people to quote than Adolf eh?

[Neutraligon]

I mean she specifically said Hitler was right about saying whomever has the youth has the future...which is true.

Then why did she have to mention Hitler specifically?

No idea, that was stupid to do. There are other people who have said something similar. “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man" being similar.
