I don't watch Fox News, nor am I American.
It doesn't take a genius to see Jan 6 is more complicated than "chuds attacked the capitol". "Lefty" mainstream media in America is just a different flavour of neoliberal shit slung by an opposing oligarch. American politics and media are just IRL WWE but with actual stakes and these psychopaths on all sides don't care who they hurt.
Examples of the IRL WWE in action on the "left": Kyle Rittenhouse, Nick Sandmann, Johnny Depp. On the "right": election interference, welfare queens, Planned Parenthood rumors.
As hard as this will be for you to accept, you're being sold lies just the same as the people you mock for being uninformed.
I'd rather take a principled stance here and protect people's rights even if I find those people and their actions distasteful, than create a precedent and make those rights harder to protect and uphold later. Some of what happened here is entrapment and its bullshit.
That's a lot of words to say nothing
Ok let me simplify it for you: the story you've been told is just as fake as the Fox News story. Hope that helps.
I think what is trying to be said is the police (off duty and on) are a conservative mob whipped into a frenzy. We know this by the many that attended, participatied and were arrested, charged and sentenced for their participation. We also know this from literally the entire history of police in America.
And you have some truth you want to lay on us, or is this just a broadly conspiratorial statement?
Fuck Putin. Ask him how Democracy's Dick tastes, and how civilian volunteers with drones kicking his ass feels.
This may be an ESL thing, but your comment communicated no information. Seems to be randomly chosen words with small chunks of your opinion peppered in. But the comment itself makes absolutely zero sense.
