Alabama ranks second poorest in the US, has the second worst schools, and has the second highest per capita residents on welfare. Also, they rank #3 in obese residents per capita.

If Lincoln hadn’t been killed and Grant could’ve continued his tour of the nation, we’d be in a very different nation right now. Grant, unfortunately, was not the same man as President that he was as General.

We didn’t crush the south after the civil war the way we needed to. We did not do enough to stamp out the ideologies and assuage the southern population - they too quickly were able to fancy themselves downtrodden rebels who would rise again rather than the sufferers of a bloody and awful conflict that stems directly from their own evil ideologies.

May have been unclear, I think we made a mistake going soft on the south and that mistake has been with us ever since. Before the civil war we knew how to handle a traitor.

Different_Ad7655 t1_j66ezo3 wrote

Except remember, that the South voted as a block democratic for almost a century because the hatred of the party of Lincoln was so strong. Even though the Democrats in the late 19th century with a party of labor and in the 20th century progressivism, nonetheless the Democratic vote of the southern block be counted on until civil rights. It was a bitter pill that the Democratic party took and of course the right thing, but it cost the Democratic party dearly and has never quite recovered. Every one of those states now is firmly in the grip of the GOP

That doesn’t make any sense, but nice try. Are you referencing aristocrats in the context of wealthy Southerners who wanted to continue to profit off slavery? Bc fun fact: there was plenty of wealth in the North, too. They coined the phrase “Boston Brahmin” a year before the war started, as a way to refer to Boston’s most respected/elite wealthy families… some of whom were quite literally married to aristocrats.

I searched the punishment for the first charge she was convicted of, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. This is from the top search result…

The penalty for violating 40 U.S.C. §5104(e)(1) is a felony conviction punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison, or both.

My hope for every one of these traitors is the most severe punishment allowable by US Law but unfortunately they always get off light.

Darwins_Dog t1_j64ldq7 wrote

In most cases this is probably all they can prove. I kinda prefer fines to prison though. Most aren't dangerous (just easily misled) and it costs us a lot of money to lock them up. The ringleaders better get prison time, but the rest can just pay through the nose.

For most things I would agree with you but for these traitors I say lock them up and forget about them. Every single person who gained unauthorized access to the Capitol building that day should at least get years in prison. Even the ones that turn snitch.

Also, people who are easily misled are the most dangerous people there are.

chain_me_up t1_j63tw74 wrote

Fascism: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

It combines elements of nationalism, militarism, economic self-sufficiency, and totalitarianism. It opposes communism, socialism, pluralism, individual rights and equality, and democratic government. Fascism places the importance of the nation above all else.

So no, my definition isn't "anyone who disagrees with me" lmao, I know how to use a dictionary and I'm also open to hearing factual information from other sides. It just so happens that "sources" like fox news or the Babylon bee are not legitimate so I don't buy into the propaganda they try to spin as facts and evidence. It's almost like when I'm presented with facts and knowledge, I can learn and potentially even change my views to match with the facts, wow!! Give it a shot sometime.

No, but you claimed there was 5-6 antifa agents who framed the people going into the capitol. I haven't seen a single reputable source with information on this, do you have any links? I believe we're technically agreeing that claiming to be a member of a certain viewpoint doesn't mean you uphold it. But the difference is, I'm referring to your fake antifa scapegoats that you say existed to frame insurrectionists. They were not antifa members (antifa isn't a group), everyone involved in breaching the capitol is an insurrectionist. They did it for Trump and they are most certainly not against fascism, they literally tried to prop him up as a dictator.

No one was charged with treason or insurrection. A small number had charges of "sedition conspiracy", very few were found guilty of that. You can count them on two hands. I'd have to dig deeper, but I wouldn't be surprised if those were plea deals rather than the government actually proving it.

For the vast majority of the people that the FBI spent a fortune trying to find, it was relatively minor stuff. They didn't even try to burn the building down, unlike the "mostly peaceful" protests that had plagued the country. It's pretty hard to see the witch hunt as anything other than political persecution.

How dare she go on a 90 minute meandering around the capital wearing a US flag after being let in by capital police.

Threat to democracy.

It was more “mostly peaceful” than the protests for the druggy George Floyd were by several orders of magnitude.

My iq is 142, thank you for your concern though.

It’s ok, you are allowed to feel good about yourself on your own. You don’t need the validation of others

After January 6, the million dollar question for me was, where were all their rifles?! Who attempts an unarmed coup in the US? Obviously all these chuds own more guns than teeth, right? But we have the answer to that question now. The feds just happened to bust their armory a few days before.

There's also the terrorist who attempted to plant a pipe bomb, who's still on the loose.

And yet the weapons were not even in DC. They were in Virginia. Doesn't seem to me if they wanted an insurrection, they would leave them behind. And let's be real, if the police or federal agents had started shooting, all of DC would have been in immediate lockdown. Those guns would never have made it into DC. Use your free thinking brain.
