How is this in any shape or form analogous to the Jan 6th?
Euromaidan was far worse. Watch Oliver Stone's Ukraine on Fire.
In both cases the rioters sought to overturn the democratic election of a president, and in both cases they did so by storming the legislature. The difference is that the Maidan coup was successful. (Perhaps because of significant US support for it?)
In both cases there was Russian meddling involved.
I guess Ukrainians are just better at rioting?
lmao Russia had nothing at all to do with January 6th buddy, that was all Trump
I wonder where Trump got his support from. 🤔
Maybe from the fact that the bloodless US political class has delivered nothing to ordinary people for decades, and people were ready to grab onto anyone who actually seemed to offer a promise of something different? Maybe from the vast swathes of racism that still suffuse the population, which aren't readily cleansed from a country literally built on white supremacy?
You libs love to use "sure the US is bad too" as a throwaway line, but you clearly don't actually believe it, seeing as you can't even imagine that this country could elect Trump without being induced to do it by Evil Russians.

fascists right here at home in the united states. sorry, you can't blame the scawy foreigners for the cancer in your society.
It's absolutely wild how so many USAmericans completely lack the ability to understand that their problems are homegrown.
