    You’re already doing their work for them by calling them “rioters”, it was a fucking insurrection.

    *checks notes* Trump was president for two weeks after the January-6 insurrection. So it was his justice department initiated the investigations of the participants in the insurrection. Furthermore, at anytime during those two weeks he could have issued a sweeping pardon for all of the insurrectionists but chose instead to pardon 116 other people that month.

    If they are hostages, then Trump is the one who took them hostage.

    How does storming the capitol, regardless of the reason, amount to anything other than treason?

      Clearly they were doing it to save democracy, while the evil democraps were just trying to steal it and install their facist dictator.

        Ha, it’s what they actually believe to justify it. It’s mind boggling, because imagine how they’d react if democrats did that
