First, you will not see me defend any rioters - on any side - or any of the other stupid assholes for stuff done during riots. I don't care if your life, right, white, black, or whatever. You want to peaceful protest, that's fine. You go further than that you deserve what you get.
Second - Trump wasn't just a 'catalyst', that's being grossly ignorant of his influence in all this. Or perhaps it's wilful ignorance on your part. Whichever it is, he incited this, repeatedly, and has been for months. He most definitely DID put the ingredients together, with his last act that of getting all his supporters together TODAY to hold his rally then encourage them to go to the capitol. This is on HIS hands, his and the other Trumplicans who support him.
This had NOTHING to do with the Left so just stop trying to drag them into this. This is all on Trump.
And I do not see any healing from this what so ever.
The USA - the United States of America - died today. You have the Trump States then Everyone else.
You're an idiot if you don't see that now.
