    I was honestly surprised when I heard the jan 6 people crying about how unfair it is that they got prison. Generally speaking, no matter who’s wrong or right, attacking the palace/capitol/whatever tends to end in death.

      I got permabanned for REPEATING a comment that I had posted multiple times before without incident. Once Trump was inaugurated, however, I was immediately permabanned.

      My comment said something like: “Trump and his henchmen are really lucky we live in such a forgiving country. In most countries, at most times in history, on the evening of a failed coup, the traitors would have been dragged out onto the front lawn of the White House, and publicly executed, every last one of them.”

      I wasn’t saying we should do that, I was saying that they were lucky that we didn’t. It was a simple fact, but I was permabanned anyway.
