Trump Says Jan. 6 Was an Insurrection
Donald Trump said on Thursday that the Capitol attack on Jan. 6 was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”
Trump disagrees, apparently.
“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
You're viewing part of a thread.
There are 100 people on the trolley and you've just put all of them at risk.
Plus if you don't see much difference between those two, I can't imagine the level of privilege you live with. I certainly doubt you're trans for instance, or in a situation where you may need an abortion, if you're saying that.
You know the real privilege we all live with? Peace. Not being the targets of mass-murder campaigns.
So yes, I'd rather things get worse for a small part of our population for a short while if it means we can stop our government from actively funding a literal genocide.
And not that it's any of your business, but I am trans (enby) and my partner and I fairly recently (post-2020) narrowly avoided needing an abortion.
if it means we can stop our government from actively funding a literal genocide.
How exactly does this happen if Trump wins?
Same way if Biden wins: it doesn't.
Though at this point, it's looking like it'll already be too late by inauguration time.
So given the choices:
-
Things get worse for a small part of our population for a short while, and the government continues to actively fund genocide
-
That small part of the population is unaffected and doesn't suffer, and the government continues to actively fund genocide
You're picking option 1 over 2?
I'm picking neither.
What I was saying earlier was that if I believed Trump actually would do something to stop Israel, I'd vote for him despite the harm he'd otherwise cause, but he won't, so I won't.
