Do you believe Americans should forget about what happened on January 6th and move on?

[kentuck]

After all, we still have a ways to go with defeating this virus.

Also, our economy has not recovered to where we need to be.

We should simply let Donald Trump and his brand slide into oblivion and move forward on more important matters?

Except for the most violent offenders, the Capitol insurrectionists should be pardoned with a probation period, and we should put it all behind us?

It would be a waste of time to try and charge any political leaders in the insurrection?

We should just forget the January 6th attack upon our Capitol.

Do you think that would be best?

[2naSalit]

1. ...

No fucking way.

[KarenS]

12. I agree! n/t

[malaise]

45. Ditto

Lock them all up including the insurrectionist in chief

[2naSalit]

50. That's the only answer to any question about it.

[krawhitham]

61. No fucking way

[Akacia]

2. No!

If they get away with it they will try again.

[rampartc]

37. +1

the leaders are planning their next adventure as we speak.

if officer sisnik had been killed by a blm or antifa mob would the rwnjs ever rest? hell, they are still on jane fonda.

[onecaliberal]

3. Excuse me but, FUCK NO!

[smirkymonkey]

6. My answer exactly!

Never forget! Never let it go until every last insurgent and enabler has paid for what they have done.

[onecaliberal]

13. Yes, all of that.

[Shellback Squid]

4. poll?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. Nope.

I've done that too many times in the past. Not this time.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Last time we fought a pandemic were also fighting a world war...

so, yes we can walk and chew gum.

There are forces trying to upend the republic we have had for over 200 years, and we can't just sit back and watch.

This, too, shall pass, as have other horrors, but we can't just sit back and watch. We must assist in its passing.

[WA-03 Democrat]

8. No way no how

No quarter
No mercy

[mahina]

9. Nope. At least not 60% of us.

The others may well prefer we all conveniently forget. That would be great for them.

Pass.

[radical noodle]

10. Certainly not

There are all sorts of examples in history to show why we should not.

[zaj]

11. F*ck no.

[everyonematters]

14. Any Democrat in a swing district or state, who doesn't run ads with clips of Trump supporters

storming the Capitol, is guilty of political malpractice.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

27. Also run a clip of the Republicans denying it happened.

[Mad_Machine76]

58. AND clips

of Republicans whom STILL can't bring themselves to agree that Joe Biden won the 2020 Election fair and square without tossing a huge word salad.

[uponit7771]

35. +1

[greyl]

15. No. nt

[Faux pas]

16. Nope

[Blue Dawn]

17. No.

We should never move on and forget what happened on January 6th.

All the people involved should be held accountable for their choices and should face appropriate consequences.

To do less is to basically give carte blanche to future insurrectionists-in-waiting.

We must never forget.

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. This

[argyl]

18. No ...fucking...way.

[Baked Potato]

19. Dump needs to admit he was righteously defeated.

Then, he needs to order MAGATs to totally stand down.

He needs to close down Dump *2024* permanently.

And, after all that, F**K him and the insurrectionists. Full prosecution.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

20. Not only NO but hell fucking NO!!

We must NEVER forgot.

[quickesst]

21. Seems to me....

.... the course of action is to do both. We have to move on and get things done, but that doesn't mean forgetting what happened on January 6th. It certainly doesn't have to be one or the other.

[struggle4progress]

22. We'd be fools to forget the GOP wants power at any cost

They've been pursuing extremists more and more since the 1960s: Tricky Dick recruited Dixiecrats; St Ronnie of Alzheimer wanted more evangelical racists; Gingrich sought to add everyone with a mean streak; then W and Don Corona followed suit

They've aimed to bar moderate judges from the bench since the Clinton era; and they've been trying voter suppression and gerry-mandering more and more year by year

6 January shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone, and neither should the wingnut legislative avalanche that's followed

[bottomofthehill]

24. Not a fucking chance

I also think every one of the fuckers that we’re inside the capitol need to serve jail time for a felony conviction.

[Groundhawg]

25. hell no. this was a big deal.

[MustLoveBeagles]

26. No

[Skittles]

28. WTF

no, WE DON'T FORGET ABOUT ATTEMPTED FASCIST TAKEOVERS

[Ocelot II]

29. You're kidding, right?

Because not just no; fuck, no!

[IcyPeas]

30. No. There should be a 9/11 Commission type investigation for Jan 6.

[IbogaProject]

31. Nope

No way. I won't let them forget the last 5 year's.

[EarnestPutz]

32. You're just playing the devil's advocate here, right? Boy, you got us good.

[nevergiveup]

33. Forgetting what happened on Jan. 6th

would be like forgetting the video you saw of George Floyd being murdered. It is not possible to forget either. They will both forever burn in my memory.

[Hekate]

34. Never

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

36. No. Why are you even bringing this up?

[ansible]

38. Just look at the enthusiasm for jailing Trump these days

[electric_blue68]

39. Oh, Hell NO!

They broke into The Capitol after they'd fought with the
Capitol, and Metro police. Inside they fought with a few more police. They physicaly messed up the place as well.
People ebded up nastily injured, and dead.

Some of them were actively trying to hunt down Democrats, (Bernie too), and while no fan - VP Pence. A potential gallows constructed.

And while the Confederate Battle Flag never never made into the Capitol in the Civil War -
there it was for all to see since the former guy turned racism from a dog whistle into a train, or fog horn. They all came out from under the rocks because of this "permission" these past 5 years.

Actions usually have consequences, especially as hideous as these. And especially with government officials still in office who supported it!

[raccoon]

40. Hell no. Nt

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

41. Nope.

[overleft]

42. Hell No!! Multi-tasking can be done.

[blueinredohio]

43. HELL NO!!!

[Efilroft Sul]

44. I think we can walk and chew up traitors at the same time.

[Takket]

46. they should all go to prison...

and thank their lucky stars they didn't pull this shit against some entity like The Roman Empire and get themselves publicly executed.

[BlueStater]

47. Nope.

I will never forget that an American president incited a violent attack against his own country and that several elected officials from his party helped him incite it by shamelessly enabling his deranged conspiracy theories.

Mo Brooks, one of the despicable motherfuckers who helped create this attempted coup, is currently running to be a United States senator. Some of the others responsible for this assault on democracy are contemplating running for president in 2024.

This is not normal and no one should forget it or accept it.

[Baitball Blogger]

48. Ask the military generals. These kind of things escalate if you don't respond with force.

[Luciferous]

49. No

[Demsrule86]

51. Prosecute all of those who attacked, cops and went into the capitol. But your real concern as

voiced yesterday is Trump. And I don't think we will ever be able to get Trump so move on from Trump. We need to move on with the People's business. Let Justice handle the Jan. 6th crimes.

[Stinky The Clown]

52. NO . FUCKING . WAY

[Boomerproud]

53. January 6th proved we have a cancer that must be dealt with

and destoyed.

[Kid Berwyn]

54. Lock them up.

Traitors need to be held responsible, especially their leaders.

Otherwise, they’ll try again.

[Paladin]

55. Never ever. (nt)

[c-rational]

56. Absolutely not...never forget and do not allow them off the hook. We will be forever assaulted by

these reThugs unless we defeat them. These anarchists and the dotard in chief used the power of repetition to get a majority of reThugs to believe in the Big Lie to the detriment of all. We must use the same power of repetition to beat into the ground their falsehoods, coupled with the power of the justice department to jail those involved.

[Mad_Machine76]

57. NO!

There's a lot we have to deal with but until the people involved in this- from top to bottom- are held accountable, we can't just "move on". We didn't just "move on" after 9/11. I assume that this question is being asked in good faith but no.

[Hotler]

59. No! ..... I sure hope they haven't forgot about it.

they seem to be slow walking the forming of a commission. It did take a year to form 9/11

[haele]

60. History says - No

A failed insurrection is always a "test run" or learning experience for those involved.
ALWAYS.
It "failed" Jan 6th. It won't fail next time if ignored or swept under the White Hysteria rug.
And it will be far worse for the rest of us. The insurrectionists are terrified of Liberals and POC - enough that they're willing to kill to keep their power.

Haele

[Ms. Toad]

62. Your third line is out of touch with reality.

Trump and his brand is not sliding into oblivion - which makes it dangerous to do anything other than aggressively pursue those behind, and involved in, the insurrection.

[kentuck]

64. It was an attempt at facetiousness...

Because a few people here seem to believe that.

I agree with your point.

[Mysterian]

63. The trump cult wants us to forget all about it

so we are unprepared for their next assault on democracy.
