You might disagree with their opinion of what is “lawful” or “constitutional”, but they believed what they were doing was both, and that they were upholding the constitution. However misguided you might think they are in that belief, they are still patriots.

But I fucking hate patriots. They’re almost as bad as outright nazis, and in america, I don’t see any difference at all. The pledge of allegiance is fascist. The speaker of the house is flanked by fasces. The primacy of the state is obvious: everyone accepts now secret courts (fisa) and “continuity of governance” plans.

I don’t need to be governed. I am interested only in liberation for myself and my comrades.

And I am sick of people labeling the J6 patriots as insurrectionists. I guarantee they don’t know what propaganda of the deed is. It’s a convenient label that liberals have chosen to apply because there is a law about insurrectionists holding office. And upholding such a law is fucking fascist.

    Maybe there’s more than one flavor of insurrectionist

    And you’re making this post because it makes you uncomfortable to compare yourself to the J6ers

    Many call the J6ers seditionists though

      i’m opposed to keeping any president at all. i’m opposed to the senate conducting any business. you can’t think the people who were at j6 thought they were pulling an insurrection. at least, i don’t believe that.

        Iono… Physically breaking into the Capitol sure seems like attempting to prevent the government from doing it’s government thing, which sounds like an insurrection.
