The left was basically allowed to freely enter the Senate building, in an attempt to sway the ongoing confirmation vote of a scotus justice, and met little to no police resistance, and it was celebrated by the media.
Replace "confirmation" with "certification", and "scotus justice" with "president," and what's the difference, politically?
the left portends to have authoritative insight over the intent of others... based only on their biased perception or desire. And that is precisely the problem.
You just did it to me.
The media does it depending on whether they want "mostly peaceful protests march" or "attempted violent coup."
There is no honest way to suggest that the events of this week are comparable to the events surrounding the protesting of appointments.
I will note however, that you're subtly changing the topic when you change your argument from the protests about the appointment of a judge to the "mostly peaceful protests".
Again, this is bad faith. You are just moving the goal posts to try and suite your argument.
Edit: I conflated the womens march with the protest about the appointment of scotus judge.
> You're right, the women's march protests were far more dangerous.
This is beyond bad faith, this is an open "fuck you" to anyone that dares participate in this discussion. To shut it down, to make any sort of dialogue impossible.
And you say the left wants to censor, what a laugh.
The only "bad faith" going on here is the left's pathetic attempt to shut down any mention of the political violence that they have been encouraging and celebrating for the last 4 years and the 6 months of nationwide rioting they've cheered on.
As if smashing doors and climbing through them while armed guards tell you not to with congress fleeing on the other side is not "directly threatened".
The absurdity of these arguments is astounding. What's worse, they seem to be thinking that they are making sense and that there is some global conspiracy on the left to "silence them".
The rest of the world is standing in awe and shock at the US.
