1. I keep telling them on social media, but they keep blocking me.

They will shout their opinions from the rooftop, then stick their fingers in their ears and say, "la la la, I'm not listening."

3. Yes. And, equally, I'm tired of seeing them treated as a reasonable alternative point of view

Every time one of them appears on screen, the banner should display "ignorant racist fuckhead" under their name, so that no one comes away with the impression that the bullshit they spew is worth hearing.

There was an interview with one of the terrorist MAGATs in a small town newspaper not far from me over the weekend. He had two FBI agents knocking on his door Friday. Whoever interviewed this hunk of crap just let him spew his garbage with no response or questions whatsoever. Like his warped nonsense was just an alternate viewpoint. I, too, am beyond outraged at journalists who treat these scumbags like they are just an alternate reasonable opinion. Why did this paper give hm a platform to spread his lies?

Let them think fantasies, nothing will change their minds, so I razz them and tell them I am glad they think it was stolen. Let them drop out of the political process, we're better off if they do as a country.

I'm generally only reading about our new President, Vice President, their families and cabinet picks, etc... I'm ready to leave all the old ugly crap behind. Four years was wayyyy too long.

Some of us are still celebrating the Georgia victory.

7. Just part of losing nowadays, as divided as we are. Have we forgotten the protests of trump's 2016

election? Maybe not as violent, although there was some violence in 2016.

Heck there are still folks who believe trump wasn't elected in 2016.

2020s losers will get used to it.

17. Guess you are right, none of this happened after trump won in 2016

No one claimed trump stole the election, Russia changed votes, etc.



Does this sound/look familiar?

Personally, I believe the 2016 protests were justified and weren't as violent, but I guess it depends on what side you are on.

It's right there, at the top of the page.

I can't tell from those pictures, but which one shows a crowd of well-funded terrorists storming the Capitol with the intent of harming legislators?


Oh, wait. You're one of those "property damage is just as bad as murder" types. Got it.

in the American media. A sham now just make money for the owners of these outlets of 'news'. Edward R. Murrow prompted me to pursue my journalism dreams in the '70s both college and some experience in television news(my internship). Mr Murrow was a journalist.
