Dude, who are the ones actually shooting at people? You so worried about what might happen that you can’t see what’s going on right in front of you.

Well except there is a whole police force in the way, and they ALL have guns. The one person who possibly posed a danger to congress members was immediately shot dead when she tried to get close.

You going to overthrow the most powerful nation in the world with piss and four guns?

Well I looked into it, and there were 4 confirmed people who brought guns. I’m certain there were others who were never discovered, but clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government. I’m certain that some of the more extreme members were capable of violence and even murdering certain politicians, but that has always been true. It has also always been wrong and we should never act like it’s ok no matter who is attempting it.

I’m not sure exactly what they were trying to do on Jan 6, but the fact nobody had guns, there was no clear plan, and it didn’t even come close to working, makes it significantly less of a problem than straight up murder of the opposition and the entire government. Actually not sure why I’m even having this conversation. You have to be either insane or trolling me.

January 6 is not even close to the same league as assassination of political rivals and overthrowing the Supreme Court, and if you think it is then you are either insane or are willfully blinded by partisanship.

Yes, and that was insane and unacceptable.

Maybe, but Trump unifies the left just as much. If Trump died, how many on the left would continue to hold their noses and vote Biden?

Lol death camps, you all need to settle down.

Attacking the legitimacy of the supreme court is overthrowing democracy.

It’s AOC. She is literally Marjorie Taylor Green, but on blue team. Asking her opinion on something like this, you are going to get a very predictable answer. She is a political zealot.

This isn’t really anything new since whenever executive orders became a thing. With executive orders, a president can start a war or force the entire population to stay home or wear masks in public. I think it’s way too much power and needs to be scaled back big time. But here we are anyway.

I can’t believe people in here openly advocating to assassinate supreme court justices. You all need to step away for a bit, take a few breaths and go talk to some real people.

Good luck

Politician attacks establishment when the establishment doesn’t prosecute her political opposition to the extent she wants.

Insurrection is fine when your team does it

It’s more about an opportunist taking advantage of an ideological movement. The same thing happened with blm.

I guess it’s political in that it is an acknowledgement that Jesus is the highest authority, higher than governments on earth. I don’t think it’s saying that the king of the land (or the government) is Jesus. Most Christians view government as being subjects of God, subject to God’s authority. The government makes laws that are within its scope to do, but cannot exceed that scope. The constitution was written with this in mind, very intentionally, as a way to limit the power of government, although they used the term natural law I think, which Christians interpret as God’s authority.

But that said, obedience to government is a duty and obligation for Christians as well.

I’m still not really sure what your point is, so I’m kinda just spewing what I know on that general topic.

OK so in your analogy, the government is the shepherd, which is Jesus? Pretty sure that’s not how Christians view the government…

You can’t jump to full authoritarian without going through the first steps. I actually don’t understand your second point at all though, about being a Christian.
