    Yeah... still a coup even if Don Jr. and Sean Hannity thought it was bad optics to have a guy dressed like a Viking smear feces on the wall of the Capital and for the Proud Boys to be beating cops with flag poles.

    THEY STILL WERE TRYING TO OVERTURN AN ELECTION.

    I don't know why this is so hard to explain. The FoxNews fans aren't going to find some magic bullet of exoneration here dude.

    don't know why some of you are pressing this point with me specifically. I have no dog in this hunt.

    There is no contradiction because no one thought the insurrection planners were coordinating with Fox News. If you don’t see the straw man I can’t help you.

    I have been slow to grasp the (relatively minor) point that you folks seem to be arguing here. I realize now that grammatically I could have been more precise. Here is what I should have written:
    also in hindsight I guess I didn't realize how seriously everyone here takes their Jan 6 narrative. I guess it's good to have a hobby.

    nobody is claiming that fox news was involved in orchestrating the insurrection or cheering it on while it was happening.

    but the texts do prove that the very people who continue to tell their audiences that trump had nothing to do with the insurrection were on that day begging for trump to tell them to stop.

    fox also bears responsibility for spreading lies and disinformation about the election being stolen so while they might not have been involved in "orchestrating" insurrection, they certainly did plenty to stoke the flames that ended up causing january 6th.

    As opposed to openly trolling people in the D&D section of a basketball forum all day, every day?

    Responding to this clown in a serious manner is a serious waste of time.

    Except he's leaving out the coordination that involved having the vice president change to outcome..... Not to mention the months leading up to the election where Trump was claiming "election fraud".

    If it quacks like a duck.... you hear a dog I guess?

    Do you work at all? Don’t know where everyone finds the time to argue with points you probably don’t even believe in.

    Why is this piece of trash allowed to troll when others are banned for less?

    I believe the prevailing opinion is similar to the fox news hosts that texted. Legacy was being ruined. Wanted it to stop.

    Yes it was worse than the kavanaugh protests and I think the number of arrests reflect that. Was it worse than the riots of the 2020 summer? That is harder for me to agree with. The summer riots were more violent and costly.

    The storming of jan 6 was not something that many on the right agreed with. At all.
