Here’s what I’m still struggling to grasp:

If you plan a robbery and you’re the getaway driver and your partner inside the building kills someone, both of you get charged with murder. Every person who was behind the barricades on January 6 and helped plan the coup online was committing the same crime and people died. Why aren’t they all being charged with murder?

because they werent planning a coup or committing a crime. i know this is really hard for liberals to understand but the people who stormed the capitol that day are patriots.

this isn't to say i agree with them. i abhor patriots. but these people believe the constitution is good, and america is good, and they got cheated. they are wrong on all three counts. but they're not criminals and it wasn't a coup.

No one that showed up to Trump’s rally on J6 or went to the capital afterward arrived in DC for a bake sale, meet and greet, speed dating or any other such thing. They arrived there to make Trump president any way they could, including insurrection. They may not have put “Do a coup/insurrection” on their daily to do lists but even the densest dullard on J6 knew that was the endgame.

The only patriots on J6 were those capital police who did their best to stop the insurrectionists, and thankfully succeeded. Those are the patriots. To twist, whitewash or rebrand the insurrectionists as “misguided patriots just trying to be good Americans” is disgusting.

Now these “patriots”, as you want to call them, are floating this red Caesar crap and making Trump dictator of America. They want to end the last vestiges of democracy in America and you to call them “patriots”.

It is honestly hard to tell if you are a troll, idiot, poor excuse for a propagandist or all three. Regardless your opion isn’t just wrong it’s shit.

what is your evidence for this?

Going to a rally called “Stop the Steal” and then everything that ensued

that's not evidence of a premeditated coup or insurrection. it isn't even evidence that they considered it a possibility.
