> In the US there was an attempted insurrection filmed live. No there wasn't. Did you see something like Prigozhin's line of tanks miving to Moscow? Turkish commanders siezing control of the military and moving men across the Bosphorus towards the capital? Or did you see protesters entering a building and generally being dickheads? I don't think they should have entered the building. I think most of them are morons, and lucky to not have been shot, but pretending these people had an organized attempt to take over the government is outlandish. | ||

I think you're downplaying it too much. Of course comparing the event to better organized insurrections makes it look more innocent. But don't forget, the rioters erected makeshift gallows and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" because he refused to overturn the election. I don't doubt the mob would have hanged him given the chance. | ||
