"Horrifying" "Shocking" "an assault on our democracy" "a day we'll all remember for the rest of our lives" coming from your liberal friends when referring to what happened on Wednesday?
Seeing what unfolded on Wednesday didn't make me happy but the over the top rhetoric in response to it seems really forced and contrived to me.

It's going to be interesting moving forward living in California and "woke" culture. Plus, in the fight or flight response, I lean towards fight....so...
I've opposed political violence for my entire life, glad to see you leftists finally come to he party but we both know you wouldn't have given a shit and didn't give a shit when the left was engaging in violence.
My wife was telling me about it and I asked her to just repeat back from last summer - that was a mostly peaceful protest
I haven't watched news since before Christmas, it is easier that way, so the only time I hear the news about the dire events from the 7th is the promos that air.
Trump was rightly criticized and condemned by members of his own party for his statements and actions on Wednesday. Where was the condemnation of Pelosi? Hell Biden couldn't even bring himself to criticize Antifa and the people destroying Federal property all over the country.
Totally unhinged. It’s sad but my kids haven’t talked to her much this year and they don’t even know about that disaster of a dinner. Toxic is toxic.
Grandma is the one wanting a President assassinated isn’t a good memory for my brother’s kids.
Their jackboots are designer, so there's that.
Fucking hypocrites, all of you Leftists.
As for me, what was particularly unsettling about it was that it was the country's capital. The US has always had, in my eyes at least, this impression of invulnerability. The country you don't fuck with. We have our problems, but we have our important shit together, and senators don't brawl on the senate floor, and we don't have bands of hoodlums overwhelming security at the Capital building. That's the kind of shit I saw on TV when I was a kid, and it was always some other country. I've always had the sense that the country's capital is off limits to that sort of thing. Because symbolically, it makes us seem like we're out of control ... like one of those 'other' places.
That's my honest response. The politics of the people, and whether Trump inspired and egged it on, have been a secondary consideration. If the Black Panthers had pulled that off I would have found it equally as unsettling, although in the 60s they'd sure as hell have been in the right to do it. But this doesn't compare to downtown Seattle bullshit. This is bigger IMO.
And, truth be told, I think we? will remember this for a long time. Sure, not 9-11 level; but it was a big deal in our history I would say.
If so, watching that EO come around and bite his clown crowd in the ass is going to so delicious. I may actually throw my head back and laugh.
