It was an event that, if had it occurred in another country, the US would have intervened. By definition, these people are domestic terrorists and traitors.
Republican or not, the events that occurred at the capital building showed signs of dictoral tendencies, pure hypocrisy, and the justification of Trumps intentions for our country. He is so self absorbed that he made a robocall to his followers in order to gain publicity and stop the votes from being recounted. the fact that he is a grown man and still chooses to act like a child is insane. He needs to accept his loss just as the democrats accepted theirs back in 2016. If you believe he has done any good for our country you must be mistaken. I am truly sorry for you if you think he was beneficial during these past four years. He has only brought division to this country. Donald Trump was NEVER my president.
I think what happened on January 6, 2021, was tragic. I think people may have different points of views on this, I personally believe that this event had tremendously crossed the line. Even though this group of people came from a specific political party, we should not stereotype every single person underneath this party, because everyone has different motives and beliefs. Those who did have the intention of attacking the capital, were wrong. There is a reason we have a system, to ensure things like THIS, does not happen again.I think the people who entered the capital to ensue chaos in the first place, should have to deal with the consequence they put on themselves, which is whatever consequence is given to them by the law.
No matter if you’re republican or a democrat, there is no exception to treason. What they did put congresspeople in danger, the vice president in danger and people who were just trying to do there job fairly and just. What kind of country are we? Will we be a country that strikes out on the government every time we don’t get our way? Or will we be a nation that will choose to love one another and learn to deal with life no matter who sits in office. The president isn’t the one who makes changes, we do, we were the ones capable enough to enter the capital which goes to show how capable we are to prevent another riot. It’s not just the president’s fault the nation is falling apart, IT’S US TOO, we need to admit our faults in places where we have failed to love one another, show peace, and give respect to everyone. Let’s take this horrible event and use it AS A LESSON, to grow and realize that there will never be peace, there will be more riots, more violence if we don’t learn to have self control and know that WE are of making peace and unity in America.
You can’t just walk into a private government building with bombs claiming that there was voter fraud because the leader of our nation got upset he didn’t win and went off telling people that “Something had to be done” and “a real american would do anything for our country”. He’s getting everyone riled up and allowing violence to quite literally enter our nations capitol.
I am very concerned with the fact that Patriotism is one of the highest, this is definitely an act of terrorism and one of the biggest threats of a Cou’p that has appeared in America.
