That is so true. It’s the rhetoric coming from leaders in BOTH parties, and those “leaders” (and I use the term “leader” loosely), that try and bring out the worst in people. It’s the “IF I don’t get what I want, you’ll be sorry,” attitude that gets us the riots over the summer of 2020, AND the January 6th riots. No one was willing to tell Trump or others in both parties to shut up.

Go dig up info on the rai ds that happened over the last couple days. They’re trying to dismantle everything connected to him. I don’t care who you are, you(anyone reading this) can be charged for something. There are too many laws in America, much of its discretionary on how it gets enforced, but everyone is in violation. When they start sifting through everything in your history to find the single thing they can charge you for, then punish you by the max the law allows. We are in big trouble as a nation. This is what’s happening right now. When they do this to people that can afford to fight it, just know that they can do the same to you and you’ll be powerless

I was working from home on January 6th. And I have to say, I was worried on that day. I wasn't supposed to have TV on while I was working. But on this one day, I broke the rule and put the TV on "mute". I was not sure what was going to happen, but if ANYTHING was going to happen, it was going to happen on THAT DAY. I actually put the TV on to assure myself that things were "OK". and I had it on whatever channel I could find that was broadcasting the proceedings in Congress live. Everyone thought I was crazy to be so worried! In the end, I had a lot of work and never looked up. It was time for my 30-minute break before I even LOOKED at the TV. I looked up and saw a gallows outside the Capitol building and a mobe scaling the walls of the Capitol! My worst fears were realized. Until I saw that, I kept hoping I was wrong. Unfortunately, I wasn't wrong.

This eejit actually is being praised in this comments section when he answered the first question by saying that republicans in the House and Senate didn’t oppose tRump because they wanted to save their jobs, because their constituents wanted him to be re-elected, but then he said their buddies at the state level said that tRump didn’t have the votes to win! If all of their constituents had wanted tRump, he would have won in a landslide. Which again completely elucidates the fact that republicans didn’t have the balls to fight for our way of life, only their jobs, before and during January 6th. And he said that they didn’t know who tRump was when he was elected, completely forgetting that his ugly, vile rhetoric had been circling the country for a decade, and he showed himself to be a psychopath and pathological liar on his reality TV show.

We have to let our government know we will not put up with using our White House as cover for criminal behavior. Or use our Senate, Congress or any other position in government for their gain over the good of the country. ENOUGH!! Make calls, write letters and vote! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

@@jean-claudearsenault224that's incredibly naive. Words without action are more powerful than actions without words. The pen is mightier than the sword. Words give rise to action, and actions give rise to words. Those words can recontextualize those actions and change their effect. That's why the first thing a tyrant takes away is your voice, not your weapons or your tools. That's why the first thing a movement hears is "shut up about it already". If you can't be heard, your actions become "proof" of whatever the pens want to write. You shine a light on corruption: you're a political muckraker who just hates the politician and their base. Help someone escape perseucution: you're denying the people justice against a fugitive. Try to disagree with a figure of authority: you're a subversive agent trying to undermine them.

Almost a million Americans died of COVID whiie he pretended it was s hoax. He engaged in voter fraud while accusing Democrats of voter fraud. He sent an angry mob of delusional extremists to murder his own VP and probably every democratic member of Congress they could find. He almost started a civil war, and made bigotry popular again.

Yeah, it’s a great “story”-only it’s too bad you were staring with big eyes at his face the whole time and not listening to what he said, which was very carefully rehearsed! Go back to his response to the first question and write down when he says that the republicans were only interested in keeping their jobs during the crisis, and not that tRump had a coup d’état in mind when he tried to overthrow the election. Write down when he says the republicans “didn’t know who [tRump] was, and they had to therefore give him a chance.” What a Big Fat Lie!! The whole WORLD knew who he was and what was on his agenda, from years and years of his belligerent racist and sexist statements, and that he was the only one who could “fix” America. *That means that their inaction was not “paralysis,” but was a “wait and see if he succeeds, in which case we all go with him; if not, then we won’t repudiate him, but we’ll have to backtrack and come up with a plausible story to explain why we did nothing.”* I’m a psychologist, and I don’t know of a condition where a person can be psychologically and physically paralyzed by an event over the course of a few days, unless they’re in a catatonic state, which doesn’t end with the end of a crisis. Also, most republicans at the federal level said nothing at all or tried to stop the rampage at the Capitol. This is purely a huge obfuscation….if you don’t know what that and other words I’ve used means, please look them up. And stop looking at the way men look to decide if they’re telling the truth….it will only get you in trouble.

I live in southern Florida. And though I’m not a registered Democrat, I always vote left. I am surrounded by and have a good relationship with so many Republicans. I spend a lot of time, since Trump, trying to think of a way to gently shed light. I think about the arguments I could make that would expose the truth. But, it’s like quicksand. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink. The more we punish him for being himself the more his believers come to his aid. They see us democratic voters as bullies. They love Trump because he’s a fighter. They see him as brave. It’s so frustrating. These are my neighbors, many of whom I love. These are my friends, who believe Trump deserves loyalty. I know one thing, exposing trumps weaknesses by calling them out, it’s not going to heal our country. When we point at his flaws, it needs to be done in a way where it doesn’t look like we are pointing. We need to lead them to discover the truth on their own. I used to sit down with my therapist, and she would never give me advice. She would only listen. Sometimes she would just ask one question. And that question would be the only thing she would say in the entire session. I think this is the approach we need to take with our neighbors. We need to ask them a pointed question and leave it at that. We just need to get them thinking on their own again.
