No one honestly wants to die for Trump.

Exactly how many city blocks did "stop the steal" rallies burn down during May -> Nov ? How many business were looted? Police stations burned? How many persisted night after turning cities into war zones?

How many peaceful, unarmed Stop the Steal rioters were gassed, beaten, and shot with rubber bullets by cops?

One group faced murder by their government, the other lost a vote.

You're doing it again, btw.

Not boxing myself into the simplistic tweets I posted for kicks, so that someone can spout racially blind sentiment with impunity? I'll probably sleep ok tonight?

The Bailey:
Person 1: All else being equal, X is treated more unfairly than Y.

The response:
Person 2: All things aren't equal, which explains why X is treated differently than Y.

The Motte:
Person 1: (changing argument) X's cause is more valid than Y's, thus they should be treated differently.


In the other thread it's:
The Bailey:
Person 1: All else being equal, the reaction to X and Y is different.

The response:
Person 2: Ok, granted. Both circumstances are the same, and X and Y should be treated the same. How should they both be treated?

The Motte:
Person 1: (changing argument): No, the circumstances are not the same, so X and Y should be treated differently!

What am I supposed to say? I can't argue with a moving target!

What am I saying I shouldn't be giving away my tricks like this!

A disturbingly high number of people would die for internet clout.

Its really difficult to get the vapors over the capitol thing after so many months of this. Sure, it was dumb and counter productive, but a Patriot Act 2.0 over it?

And yet you argue a moving target so frequently.

This is possibly a good thing then, no? Darwinism and all that?

My point being that I think the Capitol may be a little better prepared for any future shenanigans.

I certainly won't be mourning the loss of life of anyone stupid enough to try this shit again.

If the biggest worry with QAnon people was that they might go all Jonestown on themselves I'd support that 100%. Unfortunately, not the case, as macphisto has intimated here himself.
