Saw this today via Twitter from @kjdrennen:

"On @MSNBC , far-left "historian" Douglas Brinkley compares January 6th to the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11"

My response: "As an amateur historian I liken Jan 6th to 6/4/74, when drunken Indians fans stormed the field in the 9th inning against the Rangers on $0.10 beer night."

Whatever disagreements can be made with my analysis, I believe my comparison is way closer to what happened than historian Douglas Brinkley.

The thing that gets me the most is that on both 9/11 and on Pearl Harbor we were attacked by enemies of the United States. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are Potus and Veep for EVERYONE WHO MARCHED IN DC THAT DAY TOO. They are American citizens and thus, Biden and Harris have an obligation to treat them as such, even if they condemn their criminal behavior. Today highlights for the majority of Americans yet another example of how out of the touch the ruling elite have become in this country. To most Americans they're thinking - yeah, a riot just like the cities that burned over the summer. They can see plainly through the hypocrisy on the Left over almost everything. Democrats can question the results of any election. Democrats can protest, often violently, any time they want over anything they want - they can follow people into elevators and bathrooms, they can scream them on the street any time they want, they can kick them out of restaurants - they can scream from the rooftops anywhere they want FUCK TRUMP and are rewarded for it. Yet time and time again, when the people they have dehumanized do it - then they clutch their pearls and act horrified that anyone would ever dare say fuck the POTUS. Biden had an opportunity, yet another, to try to heal a wounded nation. He chose instead to declare war against half the country. It is a war backed by money and influence and make no mistake, they will be waging it. The only upside is that -- at least for now -- there are such strong voices of dissent like yours and others.
