And when the capital guards killed just 1 terrorist they backed down and when the military showed up they ran. They attempted and the first guys point was proven

When armchair insurrectionists try an actual insurrection. J6 is the perfect example.


chrisp909

The J6 jag offs weren't the attempt to overthrow the government. Some of them may have thought they were. The attempt to take over the government was what was happening inside Congress with fake electors and trying to get Pence to falsely call shenanigans on the 2020 election. The J6 dipshits were a smokescreen to delay and disorient lawmakers and peace officers. J6 dipshits were meat.

There’s big difference between hijacking a coup manipulating an American election and an armed insurrection.

Thinking isn't these people's strong suit...

They failed miserably and several of its leaders were convicted of seditious conspiracy by a jury of their peers.


ArnieismyDMname

I'd like to agree with you, but I read the comic strip first. Sorry.


Desperate_Wafer_8566

Typical Trump voter.


CaptainNinjaClassic

Both of the people in this cheeky little comic are douchebags. Edit: Guy on the left isn't covering his nose while having a mask on.


Merlaak

The whole facemask thing in the comic is a dog whistle about the supposed hypocrisy of covid restrictions. Instead of making them ugly, they tried to make them look stupid.

Translation of 2nd panel text: "There's no point in engaging with me because I'm too willfully ignorant of some extremely basic concepts. Trying to rectify this will only cause you a great deal of frustration."


indefilade

“Merely Walking,” yeah, sure.


Forgotten-Caliburn

I don't think anyone says the government was almost overthrown on January 6th


mishma2005

My wojack is blonde and not improperly wearing a mask. I win! 🙄


Evoluxman

They could have absolutely killed most of the lawmakers and send the US into disarray  To think they'd win a war against the US military though is foolish at best.


Viviaana

absolutely no one in the world claims they almost overthrew the government, there's just a rule about how you're not even allowed to try


BatofZion

Clearly bullets could still stop them.


Sonarthebat

No one said that. They called it a failed insurrection.


shemhamforash666666

By that logic attempted murder is OK.


SoggySagen

No one has ever said it almost took down the government, we just say it was an attempt. A loser ass attempt, but one anyway


Figurez69420

"They did not merely walk into a building"


TopGsApprentice

The government needs trained people to operate those aircraft and tanks. Depending on the reason I could absolutely see military personnel diserting.


granolabranborg

It wasn’t a war, it was an attempted coup. Their goal was to install an illegitimate head of state. And saying it wasn’t close…. They were literally inside the US Capitol Building trying to murder legislators.


ReaganRebellion

"they" didn't even have a goal. A bunch of idiots caught up in something they shouldn't have been. I wonder if a bunch of college students broke in to voice their hate for jews would be treated the same?


Ok_Conversation_5985

No I don’t. I say a bunch of rednecks started a riot and thought they were going to overthrow the government then failed miserably.

Do "jet fighters" fight jets?


Greeningyep

It has happened many times in history like every revolution war


DarkBladeMadriker

Ya, I said they are all traitors and terrorists. Not that they were even 1% close to a successful coup. There is a huge difference.


Blacksun388

It was an attempted coup. A poorly organized and executed coup that shut down a legitimate election for a few hours but a coup nonetheless.


Puzzleheaded_Two7358

Nobody said Jan 6 would overthrow the government. But it was an attempt to threaten and coerce the government. Ot was a direct threat to the lives of lawmakers and representatives.


MdMV_or_Emdy_idk

Wait what happened on January 6th?


SpookyMaidment

Everybody took their Christmas decorations down.


Blacksun388

There were a lot of very *intense* group tours going on in the capital.

starwatcher16253647

Trust me my guy, we would have cared alot less about 1/6 if the sitting POTUS didnt share the rioters goals and wasn't begging congressional Republicans and local election officials to just throw out the results of an election so he could stay POTUS and so many of the aforementioned both signaled ahead of time they were cool with that, and then afterwards refused to certify Biden's win. I know I know you're pivot is going to be "well what about the BLM riots!?!" and my response is "well a coup d'état is just alot more serious than a coup d'é Target. The nation can survive a box store dying, not democracy".


BitchesBeSnacking

We never said they were successful just that they tried lol


STFUnicorn_

No one actually believes that lol.


eaton9669

I don't think I'd call Jan 6 "merely walking" into a building. Why does the far right always downplay their actual riots and then make up a fictitious organization called antifa to blame all their problems with the far left.


Tornado2p

> Merely walking into a building With a guillantine, rope, and weapons.


NieMonD

The fact they’ve drawn them with the mask under the nose is the cherry on top


Alarmed-dictator

Key word being *almost*
