    Both parties have practiced gerrymandering for years, You could not find a more gerrymandered State than MD where I used to live.

    The left uses the term "Voter Suppression" as a sort of "newspeak." This became obvious when voter ID requirements were turned voter suppression by liberals.

    That will be true when all the security footage is released. Until then, we watched only what we were meant to watch.

    Is CNN regularly that absurdly hyperbolic, or did they just really crank it up to 11 for that segment?

    History i objective, just not it's interpretation. I'd do a quick overview of US Civics and historic examples of democracies failing. Then I'd show clip of news coverage of the actual event and have everyone write an essay of what they thought of the whole thing a year later.

    And I believe you underestimate kids, especially high school level kids, the live images alone shown across all media that day were inescapable. They know it was something more than an ordinary day, or a peaceful protest, and any kid’s curiosity would lead to questions

    To come to the dots, events as such don’t occur in a vacuum

    I think you are confused, it is not a question of teaching basics, most have learned them to at least a minimal degree by high school, but using the basics you have been taught to explain the events of the day

    Right, just a few broken windows and nothing else, and I always though if one passed thru a door that was closed and locked it generally meant the broke in

    What were those people there for, it certainly wasn’t a “tourist visit” nor ever day protest, what was their goal, what were they attempting to accomplish?

    But you never cited the article, copied and pasted the source

    Sorry, I'm not sure what "come to the dots" means. If you mean to find out who is responsible, then I might agree with you somewhat. However, that's why your statement
    is not correct. If we have to do an investigation to discover "the facts", then we don't know "the facts". America hasn't seen all the video (for some odd reason) so that part of your statement is not correct either.

    They were there to make a statement. What were the BLM riots there to accomplish? What was their goal?

    I never said "nothing else". There were other things that happened, but none of those other things include "broke down doors". That was your (false) claim. If you had said they "broke in" to the Capitol, that wouldn't have raised an objection from me. But you didn't say that, you said they "broke down doors" and that's not true. Words and phrases have actual meaning, and there's a distinct difference between "broke in" and "broke down doors". One is accurate in this case and the other is a falsehood.

    It was a riot and illegal entry.
    All participants committed those crimes. But these crimes are not insurrection or attempt to overthrow the government.
    If D’s want to be taken seriously, maybe they should start calling things the way they are. Obsessing over one riot while ignoring entire year of riots caused by FLOYD-20 is nothing but hypocrisy.

    What are you talking about? I quoted the article and provided a link to it, right there in post #73.

    Pretty much all media sites these days are propaganda sites. Where do you go for objective news? And what statements in the Breitbart link do you claim are not true.

    Your people know the midterm elections will be a disaster. Hence this sort of thinking -- this time from a left wing site.

    Whenever CNN airs exculpatory evidence like that you know they did not know what they were doing.

    I don't know, but I'm sure there will be fireworks and stuff in some places to celebrate the "special day" and fallen comrades.

    I pointed out the obvious shortly after the Capitol riot:

    "The dangerous vanguard that took down the barricades by pulling them back from the police were obviously seasoned radical brawlers or police provocateurs.

    The fact that such a small group of aggressive activists could breach the Capitol with such ease revealed either a serious security lapse that has yet to be fully explained." Day post: 1072990545

    Why haven't all those individuals been identified?

    To begin with, yes, most sites have some bias, but such as Brietfart has no pretensions of who and what they are

    Objective news? None totally, but personally I'll review several legitimate sites from both directions and form my own opinion, no infotainment, nor social media

    And everyone knows the Democrats will lose big in November, no secret, demographically and historically, it has been a given for some time now regardless of what Biden accomplished, their own hope is to keep the Senate close, which is a possibility

    Cons don’t want the schools to teach the reason.

    At this point, you are mostly correct.... you can throw in that the protestors were gathered by and sent to the Capitol by the sitting President, after false claims about a stolen election.

    I suspect history teachers in the future will have A LOT more detail to add.. mostly thanks to the 1/6 committee...

    Teaching Watergate in Jan 1973 was a lot different than teaching Watergate in Jan 1975....
