"Wasn't it MAGA, i.e., the GOP, that staged the violent J6 assault against Democracy?
Why is the right suddenly the ones who don't threaten violence?

Maybe because he all saw the Democrat 'summer of love' in which people were actually killed and billions of dollars in property damage occurred. I can guarantee blue cities will be in flames when Trump wins the election - it will be ------- -------- burning their own cities but that is par for the course for them - no one ever said they were smart. That will be the last librard temper tantrum that will occur prior to normalcy being restored.

"The BLM protests (which were mostly peaceful, with some unfortunate exceptions) were demonstrating against the injustice given (and still given) to Blacks by the police. That's political."

They literally declare an autonomous zone in Seattle and murdered a handful of people trying to breach their borders (I guess borders do matter --------). That is 10 steps beyond anything the J6 people did which was a riot with no real intent to change anything - it was just anger which is common for riots.

"The J6 protests wanted to overturn a valid election, negating your and my votes. That's Constitutional.

Well, then they had a funny way of doing it as they should have brought weapons. The REALITY - is that the greatest threat of political violence in the US in modern times was the whacked out Bernie supporter trying to gun down the GOP at softball practice. That was 100% the result of the ------- messaging and framing the GOP as literally worse than Hitler.

But, all of this pales in comparison to what will happen when Trump wins. -------- blue cities will burn and I think the TDS is so strong now that you will see a huge increase in -------- attacking and killing their opponents.

"@#12 ... They literally declare an autonomous zone in Seattle ...
... and how is that even near the same level of trying to overthrow Presidential election results?"

What was worse - the South declaring independence and the resulting civil war or Jan 6? Maybe I should not ask you this as you see the type of ------- that will say Jan 6. However, what is the CHOP or CHAZ declaring independence from the US and then killing people they thought were crossing their borders more equivalent to?

"... and your current alias goes on to illustrate my point by citing "political" violence, as opposed the the J6 violence that was not political but purposed to overthrow valid election result, i.e., the Constitution.

First, there was no legitimate attempt to overthrow the US government on Jan 6. I am sorry to hear that MSNBC has convinced you of this lie.

Second, you are trying to draw a distinction between political violence and trying to overthrown an election (even though Jan6 was not) - which would be political violence. I don't know what drum circle you attended that made this distinction meaningful in your mind, but it is not.

"Who, besides your current alias, said anything about J6 being "legitimate?"

If it was not a legitimate threat to actual achieve the aims you attribute to it, then why do liberals keep fetishizing about it? There were tens of thousands of people there - what % of those people do you believe were willing to overthrow the US government? Surely not tens of thousands - so what is the number? 10? 100? and how many people were just angry and wanted to riot? 1,000? 10,000? and how many were there peacefully? 10,000+?

So, you -------- have your panties in a knot over something like 10 people. Hell, this is minor even compared to the weather underground and Barry's mentor Bill Ayers who actually bombed the capitol.

"BLM was political.
J6 was Constitutional.

There is no distinction between the 2 ------- when BLM used this as a pretext to declare independence from the US in Seattle and started killing people. The only meaningful distinction between the two event is that Jan 6 lasted only a few hours vs. weeks and the Jan 6 people didn't murder anyone - it was actually mostly peaceful.

Did he miss Ray Epps? There is video after all.

"How many illegitimate attempts were there? I count at least five.
#18 | POSTED BY DANFORTH"

Outside of about 10 people, I don't see any attempts to overthrow the government. This number is dwarfed by the number of people that declared and chose to reside in and defend the CHAZ but you -------- don't care about that because it was never about an actual threat to democracy - it was also about trying to smear Trump. Unfortunately for you, the only things getting smeared is Biden's underwear at about 5pm every day.

"Over 100 voters in HoR willing to vote against certification WITHOUT A SHRED OF ACTUAL EVIDENCE
What kind of Republican Math are you using?!?
#21 | POSTED BY DANFORTH"

This is a 100% lie on your part. Even the ------- talking point is: yes, there was fraud - just not widespread enough to overturn the election.

This means:
1.) There was fraud making your statement above a lie
2.) 'Not enough' is a matter of opinion and not an actual fact

But, in a few months we will have another election and we will see if the Dems can hit 81M votes again. My guess is that they will not and the subsequent changes in ID requirements and mail in ballots will ensure they do not have that total again for a several decades if ever. The GOP has accepted that Joe Biden is president - but don't pretend as though there is no reason for them to doubt the actual election.

"People ought to go back and read up on CHAZ/CHOP now that things have cooled down. The police were real s**ts, and the violence didn't come from the protesters but from the police and incited anti-protesters that rammed car into and shot protesters and even a child in multiple incidents.

Are you insane or just lying?

Here is a summary of the CHAZ:

"Although the site was initially occupied by hundreds of peaceful protesters, this is the fourth shooting within the boundaries of Chop in the last 10 days.

In the first shooting, which happened in the early hours of 20 June, a 19-year-old man called Horace Lorenzo Anderson was killed and a 33-year-old man was injured.
