Democrats: What if?

[Adam Strange]

Please.

Obama literally said "if they bring knives, we bring guns"

He did say that, and about Republican verbal attacks on Democrats.

But why didn't a mob of black liberals with guns storm the Capitol during Trump's inauguration?

This is some of what happened in DC during Trump's inauguration. Totally normal peaceful stuff :



And from mainstream, official sanctioned sources since you prefer those:

Did 6 people die?

I'm not suggesting they are peaceful. I am not supporting bringing bricks or hammers.

I am not saying I support violence.

Did 6 people die?

Did the leader of the free world urge these people on?

Did they storm a building of offices and scream they wanted to hang Mike Pence?

This isn't the same as what happened this year.

Some of the same spirit, but not the same tactics and outcomes.

If you cared about the truth, you wouldn't be parroting the "6 people died" line. That number is counting officer suicides that happened after the fact. Sadly, officer suicides are a daily occurrence this year, and really shouldn't be included in this number. There were some Trump supporters with medical conditions who died during the rally. And there was a woman shot in the neck by capitol police (Ashli Babbit). None of the Kavanaugh protestors were shot, so using her in this to show how the protests are different only shows how the protestors were treated differently. There also was a police officer who died (Brian Sicknick) and his death is being investigated. As of now nobody knows who was responsible for his death.

There's truth, and there's narrative. Narrative is driven by partisans, and it helps them to ignore the truth. And I'm talking partisans of all political parties. It's really hard to talk to partisans, regardless of what side they're on. I haven't read the book this link summarizes but it sounds interesting: LINK Here's a quote from it:

Once partisans had found a way to reason to false conclusions, not only did neural circuits involved in negative emotions turn off, but circuits involved in positive emotions turned on. The partisan brain didn’t seem satisfied in just feeling better. It worked overtime to feel good, activating reward circuits that give partisans a jolt of positive reinforcement for their biased “reasoning.” These reward circuits overlap substantially with those activated when drug addicts get their “fix,” giving new meaning to the term political junkie.

It doesn't logically follow that misunderstanding or mishearing a sixth death somehow connected to the ra-ra! as a death caused during the riot indicates a person 'DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH!'

That's not how caring about the truth works
