The biggest difference here is that the protests over the summer were to give basic human rights(you know, the right not to get shot at a moments notice by the peace keepers of an area) to the people who need those rights. If those protests turned violent or into riots, those who did the riots should be prosecuted as such.
This wasn't a protest. This was a riot and a seditious one at that. If these people stood outside of the Capitol building and shouted "Stop the Count", "Hillary Sucks" or anything else, nobody would have cared as they have a RIGHT to protest like every other citizen. They do NOT have the right to attack the ACTUAL symbol of our government because some orange idiot had his feelings hurt and cannot process loss.
That makes no sense.
Sane people aren't pro-riot or anti-riot; they are in favor of certain issues and might go to various extremes to defend those issues - and those two protests are sort of opposites of what they are trying to accomplish.
Thus the correct statement is: "Practically no-one who was for the previous protests should be for this one."
However, people can be against both protests - or they can be against the violence in both protests (not saying that the violence was of equal magnitude and severity), but still think that one of the protests raised legitimate issues - even though they believe those issues should be resolved without violence.

Boy, there sure were a bunch of former (and current) state representatives who joined in on storming the capitol. Too bad they didn't wear masks to hide their identities.

Thank you. I believe it is time to start to call those state representatives in mass to make sure they know we are pissed. And call all the rest of the other sitting politicians in those states to remove the people that did this or demand their jobs. Most states have the ability to do a recall for various reasons.
So I went to sleep and...
It seems that the MAGArection is turning on their own? Q Shaman is now antifa?
Some Republican Reps. decided to embrace insurrection on the House Floor?
Conservative pundits are desperately trying to find scapegoats and claim this isn't conservatism?
Some are actually reflecting on what happened yesterday and a small minoirty are realizing how deeply fucked up the conservative movement is, now?
Are Trump supporters still locked in their hotels crying about curfew?
The true punishment has started.
Twitch has removed the PogChamp emote after the man behind the face made a tweet which Twitch considered to incite further violence.
Beware!
If you're going to start off with something that is not a civil war, you might as well not bother at all. I can also name an even bigger lists of all the countries that have killed its own citizens, but that, again, is pretty much all of them. meanwhile you could have listed so many more countries that actually have ongoing civil wars, like Yemen or Syria.
Also, why can't you name the countries for the African civil wars, I though you where supposed to know all about world affairs? You don't even knnow whats going on in your country, this is just 1 big joke.
(1) I'm not American.
(2) That you consider American culture to be more similar to colonial India than other developed nations means you're either being intentionally non-constructive or you're so detached from reality that you should not be taken seriously.
Stating that there is racism in the US and making some silly statement that America has a caste system are not good examples in trying to show that America is like colonial India.

Sylvanas didn't even win the popular vote, she was elected by an indirect election of representatives. #NotMyWarchief
