With it’s anniversary approaching, how do teachers teach January 6, 2021?

We should teach up the dangers of drinking the propaganda Kool-Aid.

 

Agreed.
Glad to see common ground.

 

Because that fairytale is far more important for you to cling to than acknowledging the simple fact that an unarmed woman was shot and killed that day.

 

Teachers and schools love to edit history. Mostly to make the government seem like the hero in its own narrative because that's what the government school is a narrative. So anybody that challenges it like legitimately challenges it it's probably not favored well.

I'm willing to bet in 50 years people that go to private school will never know about it and people who go to public school will think of the January 6th thing as though it were McCarthyism.

 

Thems the facts. Embarrassing as they are for trumpsters, those are the facts. He tried to stay in power despite losing the election.

Anyone who supports trump has no respect for the Constitution.

 

Fairytales. Trump never encouraged the Jan 6th mob. That's a figment of your imagination.

The unarmed woman who was shot and killed was very real.

Please acknowledge that you understand that an unarmed woman was shot and killed at the Capitol on Jan 6th.

 

this is the problem you have different facts. But you believe or want to be the fact aren't really the facts.

That's true Trump it's far more true of Joe Biden he tried to rewrite the Constitution through executive order several times and less than a year. And the supreme Court is deciding on whether or not he can do that as we speak. Well Monday.

I won't give these ultimatums that anybody who supports so and so hates America or the Jews or whatever because that language is designed specifically to divide. It's too identify your country manager enemy. And I think this is not a good idea to adhere to loyalty to some party. I voted for Trump I'll vote for him again I think he was a pretty good president. I have voted for people that I didn't think that of. In fact that's most of the people I voted for. If this makes me your enemy I'm sorry for you. It must be hard sharing a country with people you hate but I won't play this game of fighting with each other for the parties that don't care at all about us that really actually thrive only when we're divided.

 

Of course an unarmed woman was shot and killed.

But you still refuse to acknowledge that dirty donny tried to stay in power despite having lost the election. That mob would not have stormed the Capitol without dirty donny’s lies. He is directly responsible for what happened. It’s on him.

 

Objection.

Calls for speculation.

I'm not interested in your hypotheticals and fairytales.

 

Mitch McConnell (R) blames Trump for deadly Capitol riot
"The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people."

Kevin McCarthy (R) blames Trump for riot
“The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.”

Lindsey Graham (R) calls for prosecution of rioters
"Those who made this attack on our government need to be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Their actions are repugnant to democracy."

Former Attorney General William Barr (R) said the violence at the Capitol building is
“outrageous and despicable."

There is a hardcore, dead-ender element of Trump worshipers who still desperately try to minimize the significance of Trump's goon attack on Congress. It came after multiple recounts, audits, and dozens of court challenges had disposed of the Cry Baby Loser's lie that he had won in a "Landslide!" and that some mysterious unnamed conspiracists had inexplicably stolen it from him. Having exhausted all legal recourses, the goon attack that ended America's proud tradition of peaceful transfers of power was the last desperate attempt to deny the People their democratic will.

The Trump goons failed, and are still being identified, apprehended, prosecuted, convicted or confessing, but the Cry Baby Loser, incapable of handling the truth, keeps lying to his worshipers, and the most abject among them still mindlessly parrot his baseless lie.

 

Oh goodie then maybe you’d like to give this a shot since none of your buddies are able to:

Lol then maybe you’d like to explain why it is that a group of people who are ROUTINELY referred to as “gun nuts” decided to not use guns in their planned insurrection attempt against people whom they KNOW are armed to the teeth?

 

If you are more favorably disposed toward the Trump goons who attacked the Capitol and injured 140 outnumbered police valiantly defending it and our elected representatives, you should ask them.

Maybe we should give the Trump goons credit for having the minimal intellectual capacity to recognize that, had they tried using their beloved little shooties against Congress, they would be met with the overwhelming firepower of the United States military in defense of democracy.

 

Answer the question.

Unless your answer is they were trying to overthrow the government without using any real force. In which case they weren’t trying to overthrow the government and it CERTAINLY wasn’t planned.

 

I did. I gave trump goons credit for grasping that if they had their little shooties when the attacked Congress, they would be massacred by the vastly superior armed forces of the United States defending democracy.

Do you think they were incapable of grasping that inevitability?

 

So you’re ACTUALLY making the argument that they planned a violent insurrectionists overthrow of the government, but they didn’t plan on using weapons EVEN THOUGH they are ROUTINELY referred to as gun nuts?

Do you not understand how stupid and implausible that explanation is?

 

Yes, you are being very, very stupid.

What do you think was the goal of the Trump goons when the Loser deployed them to the Capitol to "fight like hell", and "stop the (imaginary) steal!," assaulting the outnumbered police and injuring 140 of them, erecting a scaffold and screeching "Hang Mike Pence!" before he could preside over the certification of the election?

Are you incapable of grasping that, had the trump goons resorted to their beloved little shooties, the far superior firepower of the U.S. military would have massacred the goons in defense of democracy?

 

Then if they knew that, and they KNEW they couldn’t violently overthrow the capitol ESPECIALLY without guns (since that’s why you claim they didn’t use them)... what was their goal?

How were they going to accomplish what you said they planned on accomplishing?

 

Simply teach the facts.

Not the propaganda the left spews about this event.

It was a protest that got outta hand and turned into a very mild riot.

 

Yea like Hillary Clinton never has proven her claims and Stacy Abrams has never proven her claims, were they lying to or just wrong? Can you prove Trump was lying or was is he just wrong?

 

Desperate, hyper-partisan diversion fails.

The documented facts remain:

The 50 states and the District of Columbia assigned 306 electoral votes to the President, and 232 to the Loser. (The President received more that seven million more votes than the Loser.)​

All multiple legal attempts to overcome the results - recounts, audits, and dozens of court challenges, failed - as did the illegal recourse of the Loser's goons attacking the Capitol to prevent Congress from fulfilling its constitutional responsibility.

The election result was formally certified by the Congress of the United States with the Vice President presiding (having not been hanged by Trump goons.)

McConnell's Final Remark to Trump Was "You Lost the Election." ​

A year later, the Loser still cannot present any credible evidence to support his lie that he won in a "Landslide!," or name even a single suspect in his fantasy of the election being "stolen" in some unexplained, vast conspiracy.​

 

What still cracks me up is the wingnuts claiming Biden's speech and the remembrance "events" that occurred on 1/6 were "political"

No ****ing ****... 1/6 was a strictly 1-sided political shitshow gone horribly wrong.... To simply point that out this year, and future years, only stresses the political GOP mess that allowed 1/6 to happen, and exists to this day.

When the GOP decides to rejoin the USA as a serious entity, 1/6 might have a chance of fading from memory...

Until then.... prepare to remember it as Kamala said.... on par with 12/7 and 9/11...

 

The divide is between dogmatists driven by airy-fairy beliefs and realists who respect empirical data.

Facts vs Fantasies.

As long as the divide is based on that disparity, there can be no reconciliation.

 

Just noting the hyperbole when it is Trump vis-a-vis Clinton and Abrams and I could cite leftwing commentator and politician arguing the same. Trump is not unique in claiming he didn't lose his election. And I have never claimed Trump did not lose so you don't need to post proclamations he did.

 

Watching these folks in Congress, flailing and failing to generate mass psychosis in anyone other than their fellow cult followers is sad, silly and a little disturbing. The main good thing is how badly they are failing.
