I have some questions for whoever, in this thread.
- Is it that you don’t believe anyone involved in this went there planning to take hostages and execute various people starting with Pence, or that you do, and you think they believed their actions, in which you would never participate and do not approve of in any way, would’ve been theoretically justified in Minecraft?
- To me, 90% of these people illustrated that thing Grampas ask when their dog comes back from chasing the garbage truck: What do you think you’d do with it if you caught it? Other than the 10% or so who may have had an actual plan (and came prepared with restraints and constructed the gallows etc) which will no doubt be investigated, what do you think they thought was going to happen next? To them? Your basic Rick and Karen in that crowd. What did they think happens next after you storm the US Capitol?
That‘s what I keep wondering. I just can’t figure how you take these actions and think you’re going home to live your life, and I can’t figure how they thought they’d actually overturn the election that day, and I can’t figure how they thought maybe Trump would protect them? Did they think the government would see no difference between rioters burning down Portland and rioters constructing a gallows and storming the US Capitol while the VP and the entire order of succession was inside? Because even if you think morally it’s the same or worse to burn Portland, did they really think the goddamn feds would agree?
