Reply to comment by SaggyFrontButt2 in [OC] National Divorce by the Numbers (Politics, Demographics, GDP) by tabthough

I'd hesitate to call her our AOC. AOC hasn't ever to my knowledge called for violence, or denigrated people because of who they are. If I'm wrong I'm happy to see a link.

But comparing them only provides legitimacy to theocratic fascist domestic terrorist right.

Keep telling yourself that. I never saw more political violence in my life than in May 2020 when leftists took the streets and burned/looted everything in sight (I live in Chicago)-

Calling for any group to be violent/riot is no excuse. Let alone Palestinians

Honestly, the way you got attacked shines a light on things that I really didn’t believe were a thing. I guess it just seems weird that people would dismiss a “witness” and not supply a reason. It was like they just tried to shut you down with downvotes. Wheird..

What leftist politician has supported or even said that was fine to the degree the GOP did on Jan 6.

Ah yes, Jan 6th doesn’t even come close to all the violent rioting and burning of our cities done by leftist whiners in the summer of 2020

So you can't name one? That's the difference between the Parties. Also, random looters burning cities get attributes to the left? How many of those idiots even vote.

On the otherhand you can bet every person on Jan 6 voted for trump.

You don't think there's a difference between those with nothing living in destitution pushing back on the machine that forced them there compared to calling for dissolution of the union? One of these groups is fairly marginalized, the other seems... to want to enshrine a theocratic form of government with even more guns to harm the people they don't like? Just comparing the rhetoric between AOC and MTG.

Like if you don't appreciate the violence of the article you linked, I guess I can get that (unite the right violence aside), but it seems a false equivalence to me.

This is an explanation of why they riots happened not a justification for them. Republicans have denied that Jan 6 was even a serious Event. Theyve Held up people like ashley babbit as heroes.
