true gamers only listen to Alex Jones

He really is a fascinating figure. His beliefs may be wack and are upheld by a cult, but the way he twists them into complex conspiracies is genuinely hilarious. Even if it's just a character, the money he has made provides him with the incentive to keep going.
people really act like he isn't spitting fax sometimes

I don't know if I think the election was stolen or not, personally I think I may be leaning towards the fact that it wasn't but there hasn't been a real wide-spread investigation yet for me to go off of.

To me though, I understand why this is happening and it takes me back to when the George Floyd riots were happening. Circumstances are different but the mission is the same, to fight against a (as deemed) corrupt system. No amount of peaceful protesting will ever get rid of people who shouldn't be in power. This doesn't always have to negate to violence though. In my humble opinion civil disobedience is actually a fundamental part of any society - if justified.

Probably a hot take but I feel like the incorrect thing to do in a situation where you think the most powerful man in the world got his position illegally, or if you think that your ethnic group is being wrongfully persecuted, is to sit back and do nothing.
nah windflower just tries to act cultured and edgy but hes actually just a 21yo lonely canadian who wastes all his time serving donuts to fat american tourists and trying to date underaged video game girls

Electoral irregularities are a hallmark of elections across the Western world. Every country has "issues" with elections, but it's a spectrum - there are always going to be people investigated or arrested for electoral fraud. But allegations on that scale are so outlandishly unlikely. And if they were likely, there would be a judge somewhere, anywhere, who would allow these questions. Either the Democrats have blackmail on every judge who dismissed a Trump campaign suits or the lawsuits were desperate and unlikely

There is no coherent reason to doubt that Biden won the election, and so therefore there is no justification for desecration for the most recognizable symbol of democracy in the world. There is a serious lack of perspective and self-reflection in American party politics and this is just another example of it

This is happening because our beloved commander-in-chief has been revving his base up into a frenzy that can't be reasoned with. Spending the last four years legitimizing batshit insane conspiracy theories in order promote a post-truth society takes it toll.

Trump didn't do it because he actually thinks he lost. He is doing it because he realizes that his political Ponzi scheme is about to collapse right on top of him. His supporters, the GOP, and half of America would suffer an identity crisis if he conceded now. Why give up when your base is naïve enough to be this invested and willing to donate millions towards a lost cause? This is the death-knell of conservative identity politics.

I agree with you & Theodin, like I said I don't really think that the election was stolen.

My main point with my post was to note that civil disobedience & rioting is a natural thing within a society and can and can not be justified at times. While I don't agree with the Capitol takeover I do understand why it is happening. A lot of frustration has been brewing the past couple of years, partly natural and partly expedited by Trump. I'm not too sure if the Capitol takeover is the culmination of this frustration, we'll have to see.
