    “Attack” - people walking up in goofy costumes and putting their feet up on corrupt politicians’ desks. Attacked.

      Yeah that happened.

      Law enforcement was also beaten, crushed, feces smeared on walls and property destroyed. SWAT larpers ran through the facility with restraint zipties and a literal gallows was erected outside chanting for the death of the VP.

      Attacked.

        The gaslighting apologists for fascism can never really explain all the weapons, including, yes, guns. Or the zipties. Or the gallows.

      Why do y’all still pretend none of us saw the footage?

      I’m beginning to think right wingers actually didn’t. Do you really know everything that happened that day besides the people milling around in the main lobbies? If not, I suggest you look.

        The apologists can never answer direct questions like: just WHAT were these people even DOING there in the first place? And just what were they going to do if they got their grubby paws on Pence or Pelosi?

        Play pattycakes? Tea and crumpets?

      They illegally entered the legislature while it was in session calling for the death of the elected official leading that legislature. I’m not happy that pence was elected but I acknowledge that he was elected. He was certifying his own loss of power, and they brought a noose and chanted for his death. The legislature was evacuated to safe rooms and one of their guards had to shoot someone who refused to stay behind the barricades or respect an armed guard saying to stay back while pointing a gun.

      Just because someone fails to get the money doesn’t mean they didn’t attempt to rob a bank
