This is literally happening.
We are literally seeing many of the people that guide our nation getting legit tear gassed, and it would seem like there is no mass movement by the police to curb this. All because they think the election was fraudulent with zero proof.
But Trump wants to do a photo op at a church and protestors are between him and the church? Even if peaceful? No big deal for them to start busting in teeth.
Holy fucking shit. If there's ever been a clear-cut comparison, this is the one to make.

no idea whether it's accessible from The chamber, but there is a tunnel that goes across the streets to their offices. Though it sounds like they're banging on office doors right now so who knows
They look like they are waiting for their cosplay competition. I would like to pit these people against the Somali militia. They won't last a minute
There's an underground tunnel network under the Capitol. I've been in it, it's neat. And handy for an insurrection I suppose.
They surrendered to white nationalism by voting Trump out and winning the Senate back?
People in this thread saying this is a coup must have never seen an actual coup before.
It's fucking crazy that they haven't retaken the capital. Get these fuckers out of the building.
From the guy who just spent an hour or so hyping these people for violence.
It's not going to stop today either, Trump is going to weaponize his cult for as long as he possibly can. He'll encourage violence for as long as he can. There will be more attempts to stop Biden from being sworn in.
Everyone and their mother predicted for the last year that Trump wouldn't hesitate to tear down our entire democracy before he ever admitted defeat, and shocker, that's exactly what he's doing.

yup. He hasn't called for any of this to stop.
The cops are just letting them in too.
If these were minorities, guns would be out.
Only reason he tweeted that is to cover his ass. "Look I said don't be bad!"
I almost read this as encouragement for the police to join them
Agreed. End this right now. Trump even put his own VP in danger by doing this.
how is breaching a capital building not violence???
YES.
YES.
This isn't surprising or insane. It's entirely predictable. Trump has been encouraging it for months.
Same goes for the police response. Of course they're not going to attack the far right. They ARE the far right. Backing away and allowing them to run rampant is natural behavior.
