But that protest was mostly peaceful even though it killed 18 more people.Where can I pick up my check?
Looked it up. The source says 19 dead.
Same thing with January 6th.But no matter, I have been to plenty of protests, and can tell you of what happens frequently: everything is peaceful, then towards the end, like clockwork, some anarchists or extreme leftists or at times even counter protesters cause trouble.
It followed exactly the description you gave of any other protest.Windows broken by thugs, of stores that sell stuff having nothing to do with the issue in question or the politics of the relatively affluent protesters
Look at January 6.
It was less than 1% of the people that were actually in the capital there was 120000 people that there that dayA analogous thing happened, tho with more dramatic and historical results: Mostly peaceful, then a minority does violence, causes trouble, poops, beats up cops, steals Congresspersons’ stuff. But there follow other folks strolling quietly through the Capitol, which allowed Tucker Carlson to push his “they were just tourists” BS narrative, complete with video.
Accuracy.Really? 1- I mentioned Trump’s dictatorial style, you say TDS.
All of this is TDS. And what it really is you're man I've been trying to spread this this crap because the election didn't go the way you wanted it to.Was I experiencing TDS when i heard Trump praise torture and killing families of our enemies, the sorts of things dictators do? 2- I mentioned Trump’s love of dictators, thinking of his praise for Putin and for Duterte’s and Saddam’s tactics. Was that symptomatic of TDS? 3- I mentioned his anti-democratic beliefs, thinking of his denial of the 2020 elections, the 2016 popular vote, the Iowa caucuses, questioning the 2012 reelection of Obama and all the other times dating back to the Emmys, as Trump adhered to his tutor Roy Cohn's advice to never admit defeat. Was it TDS for me to remember Trump’s long record in that regard?
So yeah you do get upset when elections don't go the way you want them. Just express it in a different way. Mostly with contempt for your own country.
