What was the goal of the people who tried to storm the capital building, or what did they hope to get out of it. Since explosive devices were found, did they just want to plant bombs and blow the building up?

My opinion is they wanted Trump to stay president so they figure if they do this, congress will give in and say "Alright, you guys win, there was voter fraud, we are so sorry, here is your president, he will stay."

I'm really surprised they thought that would work though. Why do so many people in the U.S. take the election so seriously, to the point where one side feels that one canditate is the devil, and the other thinks that candidate is literally Jesus Christ come back from the dead to save the world, and vice versa, from the other side? Can't people just be good sports about an election?

The Trump lovers and the right were convinced the democrats would ruin our country and they don't like women having more rights and minorities and gay people having more rights. Trump wanted to reverse all this. They do not like the poor or those with a low IQ or else they wouldn't be so anti welfare and keep calling it socialism. They do realize that lot of poor people are not very smart because of their limited IQ does not allow them to go to college and get a career. Plus if they want less people on welfare, fix the damn educational system by making it be affordable. They also got rid of free grants for students who come from poor families because the right thought this was so unfair right? So they would rather have more "welfare queens?"

Silly right wingers, they can't seem to make up their minds. What a shame. Many of these people were also Trump Lovers.

This has proven to me that the US is ran on white supremacy because it came to this. They don't want the minorities and women to have more rights to make it fair. They want to reverse everything and have it be like the olden days.

Under trump, there was a great surge in jobs for the coloured demographic.
The workers who gained the biggest percentage wage increase were the lowest paid.

Sorry I don't understand as this seems contradictory. How are the workers that got the biggest percentage wage also be the lowest paid?

If you earn $1,000 a week and get a pay rise of $100, you get a 10% increase.
If you earn $2,000 a week and get a pay rise of $100, you get a 5% increase.

Some ignore favourable information because they engage in selective attention to the facts, I.E. They are influenced by Confirmation Bias.

BLM were exercising their democratic rights
MAGAs were attempting to destroy the democratic process

There is a difference.

If he does one good thing alongside dozens of terrible things, do you support him for the one good thing or do you keep focused on the rest of the terrible agenda?

How is it BLM's fault when police begin a riot against peaceful demonstrators? :scratch:

How is it BLM's fault when criminals (in some cases later tied to far-right groups) smash windows and people unaffiliated with BLM engage in looting?

You are severely confused about the difference between riots & sedition.

Some are ignoring the fact that the trump administration helped the underprivileged, in some areas.
Some are ignoring the fact that the situation is not black & white, pun intended.
Some embrace the manta of all Republicans are fascists/Nazis/bad and that all the Democrats are pure and just.

Self-evident nonsense.
There are extremists on both sides of the political divide.
There is evil/corruption on both sides of the political coin.

Wrong. The damage is still being assessed as of the relevant news stories I looked at, but there was indeed physical damage including many broken windows and miscellaneous damage to congressional offices (see news stories here and here),. There was also some theft of and/or damage to computer equipment (see news stories here and here and here).

Also someone was caught on camera stealing Nancy Pelosi's lectern.

Who Pepe, who embraces this? You've been trotting this canard out for years without ever substantiating it in the slightest.

Look, bad people can do good things but that does not erase the other horrible stuff they have done. Why support someone if they are a danger to the minorities? Also he was a danger to the poor too and to the disabled since he wanted to cut social security funds and cut food stamps.

Someone can tell me, "Hey League Girl, I will give you a raise by $100 so you make $100 higher on each of your paycheck but on one condition, I will reverse the laws in our country so it's like the 1950's again when people had less rights if they were gay or a woman or the minority." Do you think I would take that offer? If I am selfish, I would. White privilege.
