Anything even remotely left will get you labelled a Commie or tankie by the right, while anything remotely right will get you labelled a Nazi by the left.

Yeah it’s crazy how attacking the White House just cuz you can’t deal with the results like an adult gets a group a bad rep. What an unfair world what with actions having consequences and all that.

To be fair, a Left wing revolution is necessary. The Jan 6ers weren't Nazis for trying to do a coup, but because fascism is Capitalism in decay, and an alliance between the Petite Bourgeoisie and Bourgeoisie. Most Jan 6ers were small business owners and the like.

Oh it's been like that long before January 6th, and long before Trump even stepped foot in the Republican primaries eight years ago.

That wasn't me defending Jan 6th either. Trump's little Beer Hall Putsch was frankly inexcusable, and the fact that he's likely not going to face any kind of criminal repercussions for it makes the US look weaker than the Weimar Republic.
