it's funny but this is still a shameful day for the GOP. Basically Jan 6 was awesome and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
Everyone went with the "bad optics" angle but that's democrat fag speak, yeah maybe it was all a setup and orchestrated by the left but when the trap was sprung the only way out was through. If every GOP doubled down and said they unequivocally support the Jan 6ers and stood up in defense of them, then the left would have no choice but to back down or jail half the government. Would they have attempted that? Either the left pulls a true undeniable coup or the right gets a number of their supporters protection from retribution and earns a huge amount of public good will and virtue. So what did they do? cucked like a bunch of faggots and cowards of course.
There is nothing more patriotic and American than standing up to your government, this is actually the core of leftist rhetoric but since the right did it they had to condemn it. There was a huge opportunity to win real populist appeal and reveal who all the government shills were. But the right threw away the opportunity as they always do and joined with the left in condemning their own side (because there are no true conservatives in government, really).
