The politics of oil are particularly tricky for Democrats, whose chances for victory in the 2024 elections can hinge on whether young, climate-focused voters come out in big numbers.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
They broke into the capitol during a joint session of congress to overturn an election. They directly threatened to murder members of the government if they did not capitulate. That’s an insurrection. And It certainly wasn’t peaceful.
Whataboutism, classic right wing attempt at deflection.
The point is that conservative Republicans are just as capable of violence when they don’t get their way. They’ve claimed for years that they’re better than everyone else because they don’t riot when they lose, and then they lost and rioted, thus proving themselves wrong. Then they spout off about how it was a false flag antifa operation or how it wasn’t “that much of a riot” like you just tried to.
Trump goaded them on, and then back-pedaled when they actually went and destroyed the place because he didn’t expect they’d follow through. Had he not been there to rile them up, it’s unlikely that the protest would have ended up as a riot. Since it did, he stoked the fire and should be held accountable for those actions.
Or… Let me just put it this way, remove Trump and replace with Biden. Is it an insurrection now? Should Biden not be allowed to run? We all know what you’d say, since conservatives have already demonstrated their double standards regarding sexual misconduct. Trump can openly claim rich men get to rape women due to the implications of their wealth and ability to lawyer up, but Bill Clinton gets a consensual BJ and he needs to be impeached over it.
You’re just mad because the Republican candidate is being held to the same standards you demand Democrat candidates be held to. Which is basically the political version of a 6 year old crying on the playground because they didn’t win.
Read it and weep, MAGA-moron.
There was no insurrection
January 6th, 2021.
That was a peaceful protest
They fucking killed cops and broke into Congress to stop electoral vote count while Trump egged them on. Fuck off with your lying bullshit, traitor.

No they did not
These are well established facts, dude. Not that facts matter to the MAGA crowd.
Trump lost. Get over it.
They were far more peaceful than the BLM riots
Whataboutism at its finest.
Lot of broken shit for a peaceful protest.
Far more peaceful than the mostly peaceful BLM riots
Whataboutism, classic right wing attempt at deflection.

Aka “you’re right but I don’t want to admit it”
