Storming of the US Capitol: String of Resignations

Breaking: Joe Biden has spoken about this!

I wonder what this is going to mean in terms of where the GOP is headed. On the one hand, I see more establishment republicans breaking with Trump, I doubt he's going to have any support left in Congress. On the other, the GOP voter base has shifted to the right by a lot these past four years, and many of them are now more pro-Trump than they are pro-GOP.

And by this logic people can spread their racist, homophobic, sexist thoughts because they are free to speak

Ofc not 

As someone said before, no right (right to live being arguable) is absolute. I’m just saying that being FoS one of the fundamental rights we should try to prioritize constructive argumental measures (like the red thing).

Freedom of speech doesn't equate freedom of consequences.

I see where you are coming from, but you could draw the argument that Trump's rhetoric is directly inciting violence, so there is a valid reason to censor it, and do so sharply.

I'm sickened, disturbed. I've spent all afternoon at work just refreshing reddit/discord constantly. 

I am scared, as I've been, but after today...I am truly scared for the following weeks ahead.

We need this nightmare of a "human" being out of office IMMEDIATELY. I am afraid to know what he'll do after the fact, I am afraid to know what he'll do TONIGHT, TOMORROW, any of the following days.

 

To think this is acceptable to so many people.

Deployment of National Guard was approved by Pence, not Trump.

I hate that this statement makes me want to cry.

Where did we go so wrong that we couldn't have this kind of president the last 4 years.

POS basically saying it's justified while spreading more lies. Hopefully Twitter bans him for good.

I think that the Americans need to hold on and know that the time is coming soon that Joe will take over

That would be at least one good thing that happens to him. I think he deserves to get him in court for all he is responsible for
