Trump’s heroization of those who led the attack on the Capitol is eerily similar to tactics used by Hitler in 1923.

    He should show his support in a real, material way, like paying their legal fees. It’s the least he could do to support such “heroic” citizens right? Aww who am I kidding? Trump doesn’t even pay Trump’s legal fees. Words are cheap and the only time Trump isn’t cheap is when he’s an expensive mistake.

      I’ll have you know he opens his rallies with the Jan 6 Choir’s rendition of the national anthem.

      This is a real thing btw…

      edit: Apologies to the esteemed group, they are actually named “J6 Prison Choir”

    He isn’t. He is attempting to frame them as such. Stop pretending he has the power to decide these things.

      The thing about martyrdom is you don’t have to see them that way, only those who support them

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
