They kinda did, though. Think about how much more brutal the cops woulda been if it were BLM or anti-fascists.

Where's BLM when you need them? Surely they'll save the trumpists from the police! :roll:

I wonder why BLM protestors aren't rushing to defend a bunch of white supremacist terrorists trying to stage a coup in defense of the failed president who openly encouraged the sort of police behavior which BLM was born to oppose.

Thanks for the free cringe tho.

Please he did the best he could.

He tweeted that they should stop.


He hasn't tweeted that they should stop what they're doing, just that they be peaceful about it.

Which is okay and all, but a) he could tell them to stop entirely not just be peaceful, and b) he could've not falsely contested the election and whip his base up and feed them lies to a point where this happens.

He did not do the best he could, assuming you are being serious and not sarcastic about this.

Although would it really be a coup if they're attempting to keep the existing government in place rather than remove it? Unless the definition of a coup d'etat has changed.

There's a big difference between antifa and this.

I don't recall a time antifa literally broke into the capitol in an attempt to stop a legitimate democratic process.
