Trespassing and using illegal force to intimidate duly elected state representitives to do your bidding is exactly what you guys call an "insurrection." And you guys can't find one negative word to say about your own insurrections.
You are fully within your rights as an American to protest a policy decision at The State House, and sometimes even inside the State House during hours that the House is open to the public.
That is not what happened in Wisconsin or Tennessee. The left-wing protesters broke in and illegally occupied the capitol to strong-arm legislators into doing their bidding. A complete insurrection and you guys cannot find one negative word to say about it. Because it's (D)ifferent
Interesting. Insurrections are allowed as long as you're a minority group?
Oh and another follow-up. What right was the Tenessee Democrats' insurrection protecting? It seems the insurrectionists were on the side of restricting rights.
Oh yeah Jack Knife, still waiting to hear what "minority rights" were Wisconsin and Tennessee Democrats protecting? Can you follow up on that please?
Joe Biden says his son Hunter is an honorable and decent man. Brings him along on Air Force 1. Invited him as an honored guest to a state dinner. Do you think this is appropriate?
Yes.
Awesome stuff we're learning today
Biden enabling his son's corruption is appropriate, and insurrections are fine as long as Democrats do them
Hillary Clinton used a private server for some emails. Republicans wanted her to be imprisoned. Donald Trump stole, hid, lied about stealing & hiding, and showed to OTHER people, classified national security documents. Republicans want him to be President. Any questions?

Hillary committed many, many felonies by sending classified documents over an unsecured email. She kept a server as the most powerful diplomat in the world in a Effing bathroom!"! She was asked to turn over her emails but instead attempted to bleach the server, and destroy it with a hammer. Are we really compariing this to what Trump did?!?

Ask all you LIberals - If Trump took a hammer to his server and bleached all of the servers -would you really say he should be left alone? Seriously?!?

Hillary’s 30,000 emails / unsecured server were hacked and made it into the hands of foreign adversaries. Trump had 31 documents mixed in with moving boxes that were under secret service protection for less time than Obama’s 30 million documents were (two years in an old retail building) and far less time than Biden’s twenty were (going back to his senate days which he never should have had in his possession).

Blah, blah, blah. The courts looked at it and decided their was nothing there (in Hillary Clinton's email case). Trumps charges, on the other hand, are yielding indictments and worse. Whine all you want on a free, public, running message board, esp. since it makes you feel better.
Your boy is going down, and in the courts and ways that matter.

The Wisconsin article that you linked to was in reference to the massive protests that occurred back in 2011 when Scott Walker was trying to end collective bargaining in the state of Wisconsin. People were protesting a policy decision that they disagreed with, and which they felt would have a negative impact on workers’ rights. Protesting a policy decision is not the same as an armed insurrection attempting to overthrow the results of an election. Here is an article describing some of the major differences between the Wisconsin protesters and the January 6th insurrectionists To summarize, the Wisconsin protesters were not armed, they did not loot or storm the police or even break into the State House. In fact the Wisconsin protestors were even granted permission to stay overnight in the State House As Americans, we have the right to voice our opinions, protest policy decisions, and use our voices to try to get politicians to re-think the way they vote on an issue. This is all part of the democratic process, and conservatives have the same right to protest policy decisions and use their voices to get politicians to re-think their stance on an issue.
There were\u00a0stark differences between this week's\u00a0riot\u00a0at the U.S. Capitol and the 2011 protests at\u00a0the\u00a0Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison.
I am not really sure what point you are trying to make with the Tennessee case, but essentially, a handful of Democratic legislators joined protestors who were advocating for stricter gun control laws following the mass shooting that took place in TN this Spring. In retaliation, Republicans voted to remove two of the three Democrats who joined the protestors. Here is an article about what happened in Tennessee
Tennessee’s GOP-dominated House has expelled two of three Democratic members for their roles in a demonstration in favor of gun control following the Nashville school shooting.
when talking about Wisconsin, it's always important to understand that it is a failed democracy in a major way: The state has one of the most outrageous gerrymanders. it's a fairly blue state but the Rs gerrymandered the state house so much that the Ds realistically cannot win it. So protest is valid here - democracy has been subverted by the Rs. There is no way to vote this out - the Rs have eliminated the likelihood of Ds winning the state house in a free and fair election. Not the only state that does this, but WI is one of the most severe. A recent election ranked 4th worst out of 1000 modern era state house elections. Extreme.
That said, no one equating J6 with that protest is playing with a full deck.
The Wisconsin Assembly’s efficiency gap under the 2011 maps averaged 11%, according to PlanScore, a nonprofit that tracks district fairness. In 2018, when Democrats won all statewide elections, but only 36 of 99 Assembly seats, it was 15.4% — the fourth highest Republican skew in nearly 1,000 statehouse elections between 1972 and 2020.

"Insurrections are fine if we don't like how our elections work."
Even I'm surprised how far you guys will go to defend your own insurrections.
Figured one liberal would at least say "Yeah it is bad to break into the capitol and illegally intimidate duly elected representatives, but..."
Can't even do that.
Republicans won every statewide election in Wisconsin in 2010. The Democrats lost because they got fewer votes. Though I'm sure they were told it was stolen.

I don't know the details of the WI protest. I'm sure some of it was not appropriate.
What I do know is that it wasn't the first non-peaceful transfer of power in American history, led by an outgoing POTUS based on lies, threats and violence, resulting in deaths, wrecked property and lots of wounded cops.

I go back to the original question, who decides the letters, or flag colors, or Pride Month? The answer, it is an agenda, like BLM, Defund the Police, ESG, etc. This is all push by woke liberals, it is weird, and a disservice to the larger traditional society. It will all backfire like so many woke liberal agenda items.
If you're against the Black Lives Matter movement, Gay Rights, the celebration of Pride events, Sustainable governance of businesses, etc., then you are on the wrong side of history and progress in this country. I used to have some respect for you, but it appears that respect was and is misplaced.
Uhhh no, I don't think history will look favorably upon the BLM movement. What good has come from it, again, besides the billions of dollars in damages that innocent people had had to pay for? Pride events have become a laughing stock, and a place for sexual deviants to congregate, and has very little to do with actual gay rights.
Biden enabling his son's corruption is appropriate,
Please elaborate.
You said it was appropriate for Biden to say Hunter is an honorable and decent man, fly him around air force 1 and 2, invite him to state dinners even after pleading guilty to felonies. He's an enabler at best but more likely he was directly involved.
