Still unsure why the seditionists didn't/aren't getting stiffer penalties.
Points angrily at all of US history.
Our record on holding people accountable is abysmal. We certainly aren't unique in that regard, but as context for this case the US has a history of being fine with violent white protestors and completely unhinged in response to minority protestors. Jan 6th matches that pattern.
I was watching it live on TV and I thought to myself, if these were black people they would be mowed down with machine guns.
And that's apart from being fine with the war crimes abroad. But it never affected anyone within the country, so that's all fine and dandy thing of the past.
Everyone there conveniently forgets that "history" and only reiterates about the "violence" when it starts to affect themselves.
It just might be that your country loves, or likely worships violence.
They weren't black people who could be working road maintenance crews. Genuinely the reason these people acted so entitled and stormed the capital after taking an L is because they felt like they were gonna get clemency. What you're seeing now is that clemency. The lack of accountability in this nation created that raid. The lack of accountability in this nation is what's following that raid.
Because this administration thought we should extend an olive branch by appointing a conservative Attorney General. That was an error.
Merrick Garland didn't even open an investigation into Trump for 2.5 years, and he only did that because congress publicly pressured him into it.
Conservatism is cancer and our nation is riddled with it. We are trying to treat it, but our prognosis is questionable. Anything shy of complete eradication of the cancer will eventually result in another deadly flare-up.
