    Also it’s insurrection to do to the capitol what is wasn’t insurrection to do to the White House or the Supreme Court. More liberal double standards

    Oh, I know you're "RIGHT", so far right you're off the scale. It's hillarious that you don't see that YOU are projecting YOUR beliefs on "the secular left" whatever that is? You do it daily, and you just don't see it. I accept "facts", I've never seen you post one. 8)

    Oh, I didn't know we were going to play the I don't know game.
    If you want to live in pretend land like you never heard of the 576 riots of 2020, you go right ahead.
    The rest of us know better. You're wasting your time

    No one broke in to either the White House OR the Supreme Court. The demonstrations were to protest policy, not to overturn it or stop OUR Government from functioning.

    WHAT they arrested several hundred at the White House where 60 law enforcement were injured. They HUNDREDS when there was the insurrection at the Capitol and the SCOTUS over Kavanaugh hearings trying to obstruct that Congressional proceeding.

    No one broke into the WH or SCOTUS because the DID have the proper and necessary security which did it's job. Had the Mayor and the Capitol leadership done the same the breech on Jan 6 wouldn't have happened.

    But if you want to compare

    As I have said elsewhere seems some radical on the right saw all the riots and protest on the left and how it gets them sympathy and support maybe they just decide time for them to try it.

    And before someone goes there just imagine if say after the Kavanaugh insurrection had they had as large a federal and state response and used all the video and cell phone and social media data to hunt down EVERY PERSON who had rioted or enter the building to obstruct that official proceeding how many MORE arrest would have been made.

    Calm down you're not making sense; deep breaths.

    And, that's bad information:
    More than 840 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021
    https://time.com/6133336/jan-6-capitol-riot-arrests-sentences/

    At least 884 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far.
    Since supporters of then-President Donald Trump swarmed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 — forcing Congress to go into lockdown and damaging the halls of government — at least 884 people have been arrested and charged with crimes.

    Portland's population has grown by 4% since 2018.

    Proof that the city is doing well.... despite the riots that are supposedly destroying it.

    Is taking over several city blocks while being armed and declaring it no longer part of the United States an insurrection?

    No it’s not. They set fire to a nearby national landmark church and tried to topple a federal monument near there and the defenders were so hard pressed that the secret service evacuated the President and his family.

    Did they want to overthrow Biden?

    Because there's a difference between a neighborhood and a country.

    The only difference is the one you imagined to make up excuses for what happened.

    They literally took over American soil and declared it was no longer part of the United States.

    They are patriots.

    This is the new definition of rioters after 1/6.

    I will try to be as clear as possible in my answer because you are both MAGA enjoying being under the Trump cult.

    What happened on 1/6 has no historical equivalent in US history.

    Portland or the protest at the Wisconsin Capitol were jokes compared to Trump's attempt to stay in power by trampling the Constitution.

    If he had succeeded, this country would be a copy of Russia.

    Is that what you wanted?

    It doesn't matter because the institutions held and the voters kicked out an apprentice autocrat.

    Do I speak a language you understand?

    Just stop already. It never went down in the manner that you state regarding the events of 1-6. There was never an attempt at an armed insurrection nor an attempt to install Trump as President on that day. Those are bald faced lies. There is ample evidence to the contrary despite the effort of those in power to use an event they wanted to happen for their own political purposes. It is the autocratic oligarchical elites who are in power now. Stop trying to divide America with the false narratives
