unbiased proof? I don't see how people will just magically decide their aggression level based on the arbitrarily chosen political figurehead in power

and it's in the tens of thousands now that Joe is in office, do you want to explain that, or will you decide to pin the blame on the politician of the day to be a scapegoat? If you haven't realized, the "hate crimes" aren't being committed by just people who you politically disagree with, and saying they are is just pushing the blame onto others

I mean it's pretty obvious things haven't recovered from Trumps term. 2 months after joe won the election was jan 6th, but it wasn't joe supporters doing that. If you look at the data graphed it has hints of possibly leveling off and slowing its huge growth. We can't really say for sure as the FBI data wasn't available past 2022. I am sorry you feel people are personally attacking you when they call out conservative terrorism, but it's real issue and both sides are not the same in this respect. This isn't team sports, this shit has real world effects. I doubt I can get through to you though so I will just end it here, have a nice day.

I would like to make you aware of the fact that it's been proven most of the people in the Jan. 6 insurrection were government employees. I'm sorry simply having a discussion with you makes you feel like you have to defend yourself, but many of your sources and statements are either false or misleading, and clearly it would be a waste of my time conversing with someone that absorbed in their point of view. Good day!

Fuck off conspiracy theorist, I thought you were sincere but your just a clown.

no, most of the people in it literally worked for the government, even the woman that got shot was literally in the air force, but thanks for revealing your barely veiled hubris lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

He's right. Your childish rants do not change that

Damn, Biden shot it through the roof. Guy is very dangerous. Get him out of there
