1. Hey, Don't Worry, President Biden Will Unite Us

[sarcasm]

17. Many Democrats will be pissed if he repeats Obama's speech about "moving forward"

It may have been the right thing to do in 2008, although I did not agree with it, but it can't be more imperative than it is today.

If they do shy away from taking any more action than prosecuting the sad sack individuals caught on camera, not going after the enablers, they will remind me of those officers at the gates that simply let the insurrectionists walk past. Maybe in hopes that they'd just stay on the steps and not go any further. Someone in the crowd promised them they would!

2. Why we need arrests, charges, etc. All the fucking goofballs that broke in

yesterday need to pay and suffer, or this will happen during Biden's term and beyond, again and again.

[Butterflylady]

3. They don't realize yet their going to have to pay for all the damage.

But, hey, they didn't seem to mind all the money wasted on the trump family.

[empedocles]

4. That 45% needs to come down. That is why WSJ, Rubio, fox and countless others

are totally dismissed by many here for their mob critical comments, etc., - are important to 'educate' some of their supporters, voters, etc.
They can do so better than righteous folk to the left of these republicon voices - imho.

21. In any given population on earth, you are always gonna have a certain percentage that are either

pig-sh!t-ignorant or just plain damn crazy. Summer will have its flies.

[empedocles]

26. True. However, 45% is unnecessary

[Bluethroughu]

5. Arrest these people for Sedition

This was not a protest, they BROKE INTO THE CAPITAL, and were directed there by the President so he could stay in power. Then all these Republicans in Congress signed on to this lie that they continue to perpetuate for their own gain. This is a coup, and they are continuing it.

Enough with lying and Grandstanding, this is not politics, this is inciting an overthrow of our government.

100's of people armed, breaking into our capital to stop the procedure of the transfer of power! Arrest them all, including the people who continue to aid this madness.

[pandr32]

6. I agree with you

[Bluethroughu]

7. Thank you.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Totally agree.

[NHvet]

29. 1000%

[beachbumbob]

8. any one expect anything different? We already know rule of law means nothing to these people

american people are deer in the headlights with what could be heading our way in during the next 13 days. The difference between now in America and Germany in 1932 is only 10-15% of Germans were targets of Hitler and most were Jews. IN America its 60% of the country who are the targets

[IsItJustMe]

22. Rule of law, Democracy, decency, integrity, the truth.

These are just words to these people.

[beachbumbob]

23. I don;t think they even hear the words

[IsItJustMe]

25. I don't either. They are stuck in their own little Fox news world hating on everybody and

everything they don't understand. It has probably been always been like this to some degree, but I think the internet, mass communication, and conspiratorialists and instigators has brought it all to a boil.

9. Poll refutes the 'antifacists' did it argument

Poll refutes the 'antifacists' did it argument

10. The GOP is in a civil war status

that poll looks about right...split almost down the middle.

[onetexan]

11. it's clear as day - we have a party that's for democracy, and one against.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. It's online poll. By definition unreliable and useless. . . . nt

[PSPS]

13. YouGov polls are self-selected online, meaning they're meaningless.

[BlueIdaho]

14. The GOP is a Seditionist organization.

They should be held accountable for promoting violence in America.

[world wide wally]

15. Total bullshit online poll

[C Moon]

16. As the days pass, Republicans will slowly begin backing Trump again.

Today's the morning after, everyone is still in shock.
So if we are going to do anything about Trump, we have to do it now.

[AllaN01Bear]

18. then they need to censured or removed period .

[maxrandb]

20. Might as well try to compromise with a hungry shark in a bathtub

The Retrumplicans Party MUST be destroyed.

I recommend starting with Hate Radio stations.

There should be protests at EVERY last one of the local stations that poison our country with this shit, and the people that work at these stations and the advertisers that pay their bills, should never again enjoy a moment of peace.

[Orange Buffoon]

24. Let's build reeducation camps and fill them with Republicans.

Kidding. Sort of.

[kskiska]

27. Listening to talk radio in the car today.

They're not backing off one inch. Rush is telling them that if Repugs want to live and work officially in D.C. they HAVE to say these things they're saying against the president, so don't be too harsh on them.

[riversedge]

30. eyes roll.

[Marthe48]

28. do they have anything better?

No? Then crawl back in your holes and shut up. Don't destroy without a plan to rebuild or replace. Guns, bombs, mass murder doesn't do anything but create anarchy.
