Did Biden's Job Get Harder or Easier Because of the Insurrection Attempt Today?

[Sunsettommy]

he mob was less than .05% of the crowd.

There is no way in hell will they be able to stop Biden from being confirmed as President elect after this show and pony ends.

Thre was no way before they did this, so why do it at all?

Our Republic is based on the peaceful transition of power. Trump just launched a frontal assault on that institution.

Nothing good can come of this.

No he never told the people to go storm the Capital, in every large crowd there are going to some idiots who gets carried away.

Not too early to start talking about the political upside. I wonder where the board is on the path forward. Keep in mind the senate also is in Dem hands. I know that made it much easier. But I'm more curious about the opposition.

I think Biden made made his path forward in "healing" impossible in labeling what is just another protest an insurrection just because they weren't his squad doing the damage.

No insurrection attempt today, just a classic good old protest. You will know it's an insurrection when you see rope, lots and lots of rope. And lots of traitors heads as well.

As for Biden's job, he would not be able to flip a burger, so it's rather irrelevant how difficult his job is - there is no signs he can manage any difficulty - or has any of the strengths required in this situation.

There was no planned insurrection attempt, the President never told the people to forcefully enter the Capital building, in fact he told them to stop the violence.

It was a rally/protest that showed a few people got out of hand, but most of the crows remained peaceful the entire time.

I'm sure the crows were peaceful. The mob? Broke windows, vandalized buildings, interrupted the work of Congress. In this case, they tried to stop the duly elected President from being confirmed.

Funny, Dems cheered illegal protesters during Bret Kavanaugh hearings in the Captiol.

I missed the part where they forced the hearings to stop and the business of the government to come to a screeching halt. Perhaps it did happen....

Ohh, the “business of the government” must not be disrupted!

Meanwhile Dems have shut down thousands of businesses in the name of “public safety”.

By the way, video shows DC police moving barricades and allowing people in.

Correct. You lost the election bigly.

Wow, and he STILL kicked your blob's ass.

"We're going to walk down to the Capitol. And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we're probably not going to be cheering, so much for some of them, because you'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong," he said at his rally on the Ellipse.

 

[MisterBeale]

That was a stage act, just like Trump's whole presidency.

Nothing about it was real.

If Trump supporters had wanted to seize the Capitol and take it, probably half the representatives, if not more would be dead right now.

. . . but they are more civil than the other side.

That "insurrection," was mostly for show, and put on by the Deep State, and followed by some gullible supporters who were hot-blooded and whipped into a frenzy.

None of it, just like the Trump presidency, the Russia hoax, the impeachment. ..

None of it, was ever real.

Easier. Trump went full Joker today. And 'some men just want to watch the world burn' is not a great legacy. Trump burned through piles of political capital today.

People remember how things ended the most acutely. And they'll remember this.

You think so?

Please name one blob supporter here (I'm really asking--I am unaware of any) that was with him yesterday but doesn't support him today.

He lost zero support yesterday from his base. I think any "soft" supporters he had withered away in November and December.

That's actually a very hard question. There are about 20000 variables to consider.

Does what happened create enough disaffected Republicans to reduce Trupism to the fringe. Or do enough voters keep their confidence in him to keep it the predominant force on the right.

Does what happened force the Biden administration to pursue charges against him. The pressure to do so was already promising to be intense but after yesterday it might be deemed the only possible course of action. And its very hard to say how that will play out.

Does yesterday make Republicans more perceptive to a less confrontational style of politics. Since the end result of zero sum politics has now threatened their own personal safety.

I can think of many more variables but the point is that we are now in truly uncharted territory and predicting anything seems a fools errand.

It was a peaceful protest, we saw them all summer long, breaking windows, looting, setting things on fire, blocking building entrances, taking down statues, seizing other’s property, beating up transvestites, pulling people from cars and beating the shit out of them, shooting people, yet, just another, what the left has called peaceful protest. My definition of both was rioting but, I was shown the errors of my ways, by the left here on this very board, so I have learned by the left standards this was a peaceful, love filled protest and I don’t need to worry about it. This is all normal. Why worry?

All great points. Bravo.

I will only address the first one. Create enough disaffected Republicans? I think his "soft" supporters already left. His core? I don't think these sociopaths think there was anything wrong with what they saw today.

Rioting to take a TV set and rioting to stop a duly elected President from being installed is the same thing in your book skippy?

 

[Mac1958]

I voted somewhat easier.
Ironically, a mob of violent Trump supporters seems to have unified our political leaders.

Sometimes it takes a slap in the face.

Trump caused four to die, so I hope it turns out to be worth it.

Rioting to stop a stolen election is obviously more honorable than rioting to steal a TV.

 

[Mac1958]

Yeah, the rubes made it easier for him.
More interestingly, it probably signals the end of Donald Trump as a Presidential force.

The cult will shrink back to the fringe, where they can scream MAGA all day. Hopefully. These freaks, and talk radio, have caused enough damage.

Rioting is rioting, they weren’t peaceful protest, none of it is good or right. It was all wrong, over the summer and yesterday, that a person can declare one right and the other wrong is pure BS. Protest your heart out over anything you want, anything beyond that is wrong. Got it skippy?

 

[Decus]

After 4 years of phony outrage regarding all things Trump and a summer of violence, burning and looting our Venezuelan-like socialists should feel right at home. My prediction is that it will be business as usual for Democrats.

In case you forgot how the Trump presidency began:

More than 200 arrested in D.C. protests on inauguration day

217 people were arrested and six police officers suffered minor injuries after some protesters set fires and smashed windows in the nation's capital.
