It's a crazy take, even crazier in the comments, saying it was a lawful protest compared to other left leaning ptotests that happened in the years prior. There is no argument that can be made if they don't see the blatant hypocrisy

I'm sorry, Jan 6th was a lawful protest??

I mean, technically yes. The courts didn't prosecute Trump for his role in the coup attempt, and Trump pardoned everyone who faced legal penalty. Everything about Jan 6 has been determined to be okay and cool by the current US government.

It's almost like things that are lawful are not inherently moral or right. Slavery is still lawful in the U.S.

I don't think being pardoned means what you did was legal.

If the law isn't enforced then it's practically legal, and well Trump made it defacto legal if he's just gonna pardon everyone involved
