How much damage? How long to recover? If ever?

[capitalcrew]

They will talk about this day in social studies and US history classes for as long at the US exists.

Nah. We love to rewrite history we don't like.

Edit: To answer the original question. Lots of damage and we've started a grave yard spiral long ago. This just helped accelerate it. We'll never really be the same again.

I know you wish you could’ve been there with the rest of your incel friends.

What's the cost on one of these things?

From the bottom of my heart....fuck you.

[Studio X]

It all depends on what happens next.

e30 does have a point re: short term memory. How many of you participated/were aware of the Women's March after Trump's election? Millions more people involved. To what effect? Short term - nada. Long term - no Rep control of House, Senate or Pres. Did you draw a straight line between those protests and the outcomes of elections 4 years later? Probably not.

[scubasteveRR]

I'd say it cost about 10 years in federal prison

What, I’m sure it’ll be only days before you spin this here as if all these terrorists were really the victims, just as you’ve done with the rittenhouse situation, and every other pseudo conservative, thin blue line position you try and veil nice and thinly.

Exactly, I say crank up the A.I. and get the facial recognition systems up and running, access every security & traffic cam in the DC area along with police car license plate readers. Start matching up pics of criminals with facespace/instaproof/tweetconfessions & license plates of vehicles entering the area during the past 24 hours.

Shouldn't be difficult with so many of these folks rioting with no face masks, mugging for selfies while committing felonies.

Get fucked. Your implication that I'm a white supremacist is galling and slanderous. It might be a joke to you but it's not cool at all.

[Chippertheripper]

I’m not joking.
I especially like the part where I said nothing about white supremacism but you internalized it anyways and came right out with it.

Go fall on a fire axe.

The Proud Boys kicked off that protest and the anti defamation league identified several white nationalists there. It's widely known those are the most vocal of Trumps supporters and that's the line the media is running with. Maybe you missed the confederate flags in the capital or something, but any idiot knows that's where you were going with it.

You also know full well I'm not even a Trump supporter, so that just makes you even more of an asshole in my eyes.

[Chippertheripper]

Go fall on a fire axe.

Ok.

[tsorfas]

By the summer people won’t even remember this happened. Or it will be normal.

[capitalcrew]

By summer it'd be great if some of these losers were in prison.

The ones that stormed the capitol or the ones that are there on a regular basis?

[scubasteveRR]

The ones that stormed the capitol or the ones that are there on a regular basis?

both the ones that stormed and the lawmakers that provoked it by misleading them

[capitalcrew]

The ones that stormed the capitol or the ones that are there on a regular basis?

Yes.

[nt650hawk]

is the Brett Favre?


or TB i can' decide

[jhawley]

So Let me get this right, Kap kneeling at a football game was the worst thing y'all had ever seen, now ya'll pull this shit, and the mental gymnastics to justify it.

Fuck you America.

Sincerely,
All your pissed off Black and brown friends.

Think more like 9/11....not the loss of life but the intense coverage and the long impact on our country. I loved the Woman’s March and the BLM March but I agree. I don’t remember the dates of those bell weather events and my memory is fading.

But Jan 6th 2021. I’ll remember that date and where I was and what I was doing..

This kind of crap doesn't help. This small sample of dialog exemplifies how we as a nation have treated each other for years.

I still stand by that statement, given his whataboutism and victimhood and casual racism (by way of giving fucks like these a pass) thats also been on display here for years.
You'll have to excuse my nonfiltered, brash nature on this one.
Was I too rude? Maybe. Does my point stand? Yes.
I don't make a habit of sugar coating my opinions.
