Poll: 73% of Republicans blame 'left-wing protesters' for Jan. 6 attack. Wut?

Let me address the proverbial elephant in the room with respect to what happened at the Capitol building. Why didn’t Trump as soon as he was aware of what was happening at the Capitol building on the 6th of January contact Fox News and say he wanted to appear on Fox News immediately to call on live tv those who were at the Capitol building to leave the building? Not a tweet, not a pre-recorded message but a live message on tv?

He was contentedly watching the chaos unfold on TV.

Oh, and tweeting occasionally.

How come you were not working that day or any other demo day in DC? You said you go to all of them. I got a job, responsibilities, and work ethics that would keep me away from crazy ■■■■■

The protesters were not monitoring TV. There is a disconnect. I am a trump supporter and did not participate in any Shenanigans

A small number of people participated compared to all the race riots in major left wing cities over the past year. Are they (Antifa and liberal fanatics) still tearing up ■■■■ in Portland?

I don’t think those 73% of Republicans believe in a conspiracy. It’s far simpler than that.

Those 73% of Republicans believe that their party and their leaders are so just and even infallible, that when something negative happens, it can never be the fault of their party and leaders. They then project or displace accountability onto the opposition party and their leaders. This is the end result of hyper-partisanship and gaslighting (yes, that term is used way too much…myself included).

It’s not unique to Republicans. However, since the Republicans have most recently been in the spotlight with Trump and a lost election, it is much more visible and I do believe it has been taken to the next level. Claims of “stolen” elections, January 6th and various COVID issues are examples.

I like Sidney, Australia. People are decent there. You are fortunate to live in Australia and go elephant hunting in Asia.

What ANY of what you just wrote have to do with what Trump was doing while the “protestors” were breaking down barriers at the Capitol?

I live on the opposite of Australia to Sydney. I most assuredly have never gone elephant hunting in Asia or any other part of the world either and yes I am very fortunate to live in Australia.

Silly ozman, when someone is from West Australia, they never mean Perth; obviously, they’re from a city on the eastern coast.

Sorry @Kelby I cannot sort it out for you. However, your complaint is noted and I will try to learn how to speak liberalese.

Libs and Antifa usually get a pass on everything they burn, disrupt, or destroy.

At least we can agree to disagree about some things. However, Australia is one of the nicest places I have ever visited.

You tell me. Seems to me that left wing perverts, Wokes, the Squad, and One Horse Dog Faced Pony Soldier Show are dismantling America.

Well Hilbillary Rotten Clinton thinks the election was stolen from her. Most Dims I know seem to be smug elites who think their indoctrination is the only correct thing, and socialism is the best .

On point reply. Thanks for the confirmation!

Yep you and Romney are the only true conservatives left. When you leave don’t forget to turn off the water, and, turn out the lights

Thank you Sotto.

That’s exactly what almost everyone out of about 100 I interviewed at the Jan 6th event felt. They were acting patrioticly and rationally. Around half confidentiality stated they were willing to bet their lives that an evil collective had undermined the US political system with outright fraud and corruption. And that as trump and co stated many times they had indisputable evidence. (variances in the beliefs but the basic premise was always nearly identical)

If you know the American democractic system was in the process of being overthrown by an evil criminal org and you don’t do what exactly what the Patriots in Jan 6th did you are a ■■■■■■■ coward. Imagine if when Hitler invaded and installed a puppet gov the response would be to whine on an obscure internet forum and make a hashtag :clown_face:

Babbitt would be national hero, the day would be made into a July 4th style holiday and I and hopefully far more Americans patriots would have been their side by side with Babbitt IF THERE WAS ANY TRUTH OR EVEN SLIGHT EVIDENCE TO THE NONSENSE PEDDLED BY TRUMP AND CO.

The Jan 6th patriots were manipulated by those who KNEW they lying to save face. This is what the Jan 6th investigation needs to focus on. If the leaders know the truth and the motivation behind it.

They did one of the most disgusting and potentially damaging acts in US history by poisoning the well so that if in the future something like this does happen in America. They yelled fire and caused a stampede and worst of all desensitized Americans to the next fire alarm.

I sure don’t want to drink from that well. You interviewed of 100 people that day. You must have been busy. How far up the steps did you get?

Me I was at a real job working for a living. I did not have time for that nonsense.

Yup was there all day. I needed to verify the claims so I could research them to see if there was any validity

How are you calling the accusations made by trump and cec “nonsense”.

Do you think he was lying? If glad you care about America and democracy enough to not give a ■■■■ when an evil organization undermines our political system commiting election fraud and totally destroying any hope of democracy for generations.

If the accusations by Trump and co were even partial valid Jan 6th was more than justified

If they were trying to convince people that our political system was being undermined by fraud at the highest levels that they knew was false they need to rot.

Imagine if someone with a large following starts to say that you are raping babies in your basement and their children are next. Something they know is false. If you are killed by a mob who’s fault is it.

If I were killed by a mob of woke liberals, it would be my fault because I put myself in harm’s way. Who would you blame?
