Blatant racism from @RonJohnsonWI here. He says he wasnt worried on 1/6 because the majority-white insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol love this country, but says if they were Black Lives Matter protestors he wouldve been concerned for his safety. #WISen

(11,730 posts)1. You felt safe because the insurrectionists were White and on your side.
2. BLM would not have shown up to storm the capitol if Trump had won. There certainly would have been protests, but nobody would have tried to overturn the election because we aren't fucking idiots like right wingers.
3. Antifa would not have stormed the capitol had Trump won either. Groups affiliated under Antifascist Action show up when Fascists are on the march. Perhaps there would have been fascists celebrating, but Antifa affiliated groups aren't typically interested in electoral politics.
Ron Johnson is the typical, ignorant, racist, conservative idiot of today.
