Not sure why Democrats think "protest" includes violence, burning, shooting and destroying shit.

And somehow the media and news always makes it sound like just some sort of "protest of a product"
Well, the last time Republicans “protested”, they unlawfully broke into federal buildings, brandished weapons, assaulted police, and wanted to hang Mike Pence. So, it’s not like they aren’t capable of violence, either. The fact is that both sides are fucking lunatics, and that’s what your political overlords want. Pit people against each other while they collectively violate the Constitution and strip us of our liberty.

The difference is the media portrayal. January sixth gets hammered as 6 officers being killed and the over throw of government.

Tesla being burned down gets portrayed as, well people don't like Musk for firing everyone.

One building (the Capitol), and no one to my knowledge had serious weapons, which makes assertions of "overthrowing the government" laughable.
They found pipe bombs in the area. I’d consider those “serious”. And, I have a strong feeling that many of you would carry on relentlessly if it were Democrats who did that on 6 January.

And, by no means am I apologizing for or discounting Tesla shops being burned down. It’s deplorable. But I also won’t brush off what a collection of cultist lunatics did on January 6th. Breaking into a federal building (or any building, for that matter) is a felony. If people claim to “support law and order”, then support it. Don’t be hypocrites.

Both are/were wrong, and anyone associated with either should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. There is no justification for mob rule and violence like that.

A Trump supporter attacked Pelosi’s old man and we don’t hear about it today, so I don’t see your point.



Probably because it was one lunatic. How do you stretch out a story like that?

I know you probably won't watch it, but there is some pretty good evidence in here that is was FBI or SS. Listen when he says the bombs were fake.
I mean, Kamala Harris walked right by one of them. If this had been some Trump supporter, the media would have had that on an endless loop before the election (and the three years before that). Even a Never Trumper like Irv should admit that.

But for some reason, that story practically vanished. Weird. Wonder why that would be.
