How Republicans Are Warping Reality Around the Capitol Attack

[Ana the Ist]

Again....when we find one white supremacist amongst the crowds of BLM protesters, and left wing media blames everything on the white supremacist....they just call it news.

Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police

How come Democrats and the media weren't accused of "warping reality" and hawking conspiracy theories?

It's literally the same argument.

 

[RDKirk]

I'll just leave this here .....

BLACK Lives Matter activist John Sullivan was arrested by the FBI on January 14, due to his alleged involvement in the Capitol riots.

And since he was the only person seen in the Capitol building...well, there you go.

Well, actually more than one have been seen, and those were seen actually instigating violence.

 

[RDKirk]

The BLM riots were much, much worse.

It was not worse than an insurrection attempting to overthrow a duly elected government.

Let's make it clear: The intention of every single Trump supporter in that mob--those inside the Capitol as well as out on the grounds--was to prevent Congress from doing what it was doing. That was the goal of every pro-Trump protestor and rioter there.

 

[RDKirk]

Stages of Denial:
1. 'It was 100% Trump supporters'.
2. 'There was only one BLM/Antifa activist'.
3. 'There were a few BLM/Antifa activists, but most were Trump supporters'.
4. ~Crickets~ (After it emerges that the whole thing was orchestrated by BLM/Antifa, and a small number of foolish Trump supporters followed them into the Capitol).

I call Poe!

Oh, "Poe's Law" has put Christianforums into Wikipedia:

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.
...
Poe's law is based on a comment written by Nathan Poe in 2005 on christianforums.com, an Internet forum on Christianity. The post was made during a debate on creationism, where a previous poster had remarked to another user: "Good thing you included the winky. Otherwise people might think you are serious".[4] Poe then replied, "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article".[1] The original statement of Poe's law referred specifically to creationism, but it has since been generalized to apply to any kind of fundamentalism or extremism.

The voice of the people has spoken an opinion, which seems to be good enough these days lol

(After it emerges that the whole thing was orchestrated by BLM/Antifa, and a small number of foolish Trump supporters followed them into the Capitol).

A small number.

Yeah, okay.

But you know, it's funny - we keep hearing about all these people getting arrested, and wouldn't you know it, they keep winding up being Trump supporters and NOT BLM/Antifa.

I could literally do this all day, there's a deluge of information out there about the arrests, and as near as I can tell, the vast majority of them are pretty clearly Trump supporters. We know this, because a lot of them bragged about being in the building. They tweeted about it. They took pictures. They were not subtle. The Shaman, the guy who stole Pelosi's lectern, the dude who took a chill on her desk, the realtor asking for a pardon - they all have one thing in common, aside from being white: Not BLM/Antifa. What I'm seeing is a decided lack of is BLM/Antifa members being arrested. Inside job, right? Sure.

You keep spinning whatever nonsense you need to get to sleep, but don't expect anyone else to buy it.

[Ana the Ist]

Well, actually more than one have been seen,

Lol yeah....out of the thousands of rioters and looters I bet you can probably come up with anywhere from a dozen to two dozen boogaloo or white supremacists.

and those were seen actually instigating violence.

Or just participating in the violence already happening...

Either way all you're really saying here is that you believe the exact same lies when they're told by different people.

 

[keith99]

We found one!

A very dubious one. It is more likely that Sullivan is a false flag instance. E.g. a Trump supporter or just general trouble maker posing as being for BLM.

 

[timothyu]

It is more likely that Sullivan is a false flag instance.

Don't think so by other videos. He seems to be trying to make a name for himself to replace all those leftovers from the 60's that got famous and not killed and became politicians. They are getting real old. He may have a future if he leaves the bombs alone.

I hear BLAtifa were also responsible for 9/11, crucifying Jesus, and shooting Bambi's mom.

I don't think that peacefully protesting or assembling outside the Capitol should be banned. Do you?

That was the goal of every pro-Trump protestor and rioter there.

What was the goal of every BLM/Antifa member who was there? It wasn't even their protest, so why were they attending? Although it was their lawful right to be in the area, their motivations for attending are a cause for concern. If I recall correctly, one of the BLM/Antifa members arrested for storming the Capitol stated that they were there to record and document what was happening, despite the fact that they didn't appear to have any credentials to support being a bona fide, professional journalist.

A small number.

Yeah, okay.

That looks like a picture of people standing outside the Capitol. Is standing outside the Capitol, with a Trump 2020 flag, while wearing a MAGA cap, a crime?

 

[Danthemailman]

Nothing in the "American Politics" threads has anything to do with God or Christianity. Unless it is intended to mock them..

So it's not just me.

 

[Danthemailman]

How about trying to burn people alive in a federal courthouse in Portland Oregon?

How many police officers were killed or injured in the BLM riots in the past year?

Exactly! Yet the double standard continues.

 

[RDKirk]

What was the goal of every BLM/Antifa member who was there?

The claim of the only BLM member known to be there is that he was there to record the Trumpers.

I explicitly said:

You decide whether that was a criminal intention.

 

[KCfromNC]

It shouldn't be a surprise....they pulled this move right out of the Democrat politicians' playbook.

Yes, again it is the Democrats fault that the GOP is acting dishonestly.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the party of personal responsibility.

 

[KCfromNC]

Sounds an awful lot like the claims that alt-right extremist froups infiltrated the BLM protests to incite violence. But that is just me.

No, those claims came from police who actually arrested a number of actual conservatives committing crimes during BLM protests - e.g.Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter.

The claims mentioned in the the OP are coming from right-wing propaganda sources (and the people who parrot them) and are based on pure fantasy.

Big difference.
