Did I hear that right? Someone let loose a python inside the capital?

Much like those that claimed right wing agitators were responsible for most of the arson over the summer, some conservatives are claiming those at the capitol are actually antifa in disguise. They're pointing out the funny looking people with unkempt beards and what have you.

Turns out if you are willing to engage in street violence like this, you tend to be far more chaotic than the average person. These sorts of events are magnets for weirdos, regardless of political orientation. Its probably not good for the weirdos to 'win' these sorts of altercations, they already have more than enough encouragement.

Maybe the real person of the year for 2020 was the garbage human being.

They are caving pretty quick once the right wing status quo protectors starting preaching about peace and love. Gotta keep the cattle in line.

It's a thread about protesting dumbass, I do tend to care about people who are brutalized more than five minutes after it happens, yes.

Imagine believing this is all I would care about after today based on a single post.

wonder if the special protesters psyched themselves up in the locker room with Rage Against the Machine's Take the Power Back.

am i the only one who's oddly underwhelmed by the events of the day? the whole thing was completely predictable. the only way I'd be surprised if they actually did invoke the 25th and/or impeachment in the final weeks of his presidency, but everything since election day has otherwise played out just a bit more peaceful than I had imagined.

It could have been much worse, but it should have been much less.

Time for the 25th!

All of my Republican "friends" are now blaming it all on antifa infiltration. And no trumpers were involved

A bit surprised it was so easy, but then, that kind of makes sense when you think about it.

It's just spectacle at the end of the day.

This is the real danger of events like today. Further radicalizes and divides.
