‘Sympathy’ surging for Jan. 6 rioters, 43% agree ‘they had a point’
“The survey, which was completed shortly before the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Trump, showed sympathy for the rioters has increased among the voting public over the past several years,” said Suffolk’s analysis.
“Only 48% of voters overall said they thought the rioters were ‘criminals,’ a significant drop from the 70% of voters who thought so in a Suffolk survey conducted just weeks after the attacks. Those who agreed that ‘they went too far, but they had a point’ rose to 37% from 24%, and 6% called their actions ‘appropriate,’ when in 2021 just 2% did,” it added.
In no small part due to this: “the Justice Department is continuing to round up over 1,000 it suspects of being involved.”
Or maybe they notice a pattern forming. Ballot Cleansing: Democrats are Moving to Bar Republicans from Ballots Nationwide
From Instapundit:
“The point of the J6 persecution is to tell righties they can’t expect to get away with what lefties routinely do.”
Nailed it
Bingo.
Just look at the massive Muslim Brotherhood instigated “protests” VS the Convoy.
Canada is run by de-facto NAZI’s.
Hence the push for disinformation legislation. They want their lies to be the truth.
Do they not realize they are boosting Trump? The mind boggles at their myopia and tunnel vision. They are mentally and emotionally constipated. It would be so easy to beat DJT at his own game. Come up with a future for middle America that is not creepy, bleak, and dystopian. Why, oh why, are they convinced that middle America wants to live the hollow lives inherent in a grim, feudal technocracy, subject to the greedy whims of remote (no skin in the game) foreigners.
Off topic, but high trust societies are wealthier, more innovative, and safer.
Crispy Cream says he staying in the race. OMG, who in hell thinks he’s an alternative to Trump. He’s the poster child for the view that this is all about Trump, when in reality, it’s a rejection of the Uniparty, whose legs are spread wide for every powerful (domestic or foreign) entity, other than Middle Working America.
It was a setup from the get go.
And the low IQ took the bait.
A few did.
So what?
The vast majority there did not break any law from trespassing to illegal assembly.
And they brought all of 7 guns.
Go count a ballot.
1230 have been charged. 760 have plead guilty to charges such as seditious conspiracy and assaulting a police officer. Another 170 were found guilty after choosing to have a trial.
That’s not the majority by a longshot, but what that dangerous minority tried to do is a serious threat to democracy. and the peaceful transfer of power.
Are you drunk?
Charges = nothing.
Pleading guilty = nothing. They threaten people with losing Everything if they don’t plead such. America’s justice system is beyond the pale.
The scummy DA’s offer you a lesser plea so you only do 3 years instead of 13. I double dog dare you to look at the conviction rate. Its beyond credibility, its a disgrace.
And found guilty of what? Existence?
The peaceful transfer of power was as legitimate as Bill Clinton’s sex denial.
Look who is talking.. You never fail to impress with such bs
81 million votes, that’s all you need to know. Butt, there are those who would believe that.
Do they not realize they are boosting Trump?

Of course they do. But, make no mistake, Trump is NOT going to occupy the White House a second time. They will take the most egregious, overt and outright illegal steps necessary to achieve that. And, the Jan. 6th persecutions are reinforcement to make sure there is nothing you will choose to do about it.
Incidentally, I’m not talking about the ballot harvesting, or ballot stuffing. Sure, that’s going to happen again. But, I think it goes a step beyond this time. Secretaries of State like Bellows in Maine are just going to cut out the middle man and certify false numbers for their state. Whether they do it on their own accord, or require extortion to proceed is immaterial. There are five must have states for the candidate that have Democrat activist Secretaries of State in place. How are you going to check their numbers? The courts set the precedence that only portions (and miniscule portions at that) can be recounted. Some states like Arizona are making it illegal for individual precincts to do a hand counts to assure accuracy. Any challenges are immediately turned over to the Feds and like the investigation spearheaded by the State Police in Michigan, they disappear down the FBI black hole.
The simple fact of the matter is that once you control the Department of Justice…you control it all (including your opposition).
‘The simple fact of the matter is that once you control the Department of Justice…you control it all (including your opposition).’
Hmmm ….
Does it not resemble something from communists Soviet Union?
Why … it does.
They put people in prison or just killed them off, it was all according to the law. Over there.
You can make laws, any laws, to suit your socialism, fascism, communism, so called “Demokrats” and all other dicktatorial (sic) system you may have.
Rule of law means nothing if the system is corrupt.
And another thing.
Jan 6 was, maybe, possibly an attention getter, a run of the mill riot, insurrection is altogether another story.
It is the media cartel that run with it, unfortunately the rulers and the cartel were in concert, and it prevailed.
Remember the wise writer said, in 1984 the lie will be the truth.
48% still think they were criminals. So nearly half are incurably stupid.
Really think we’ve been getting slow walked to something really nasty for the last several years, and that walk is starting to pick up into a run, into a full on charge.
The ones that did crimes – and admitted to it – are definitely criminals. Not a small list either.
Initially I believed there would be a last minute dumping of Joe followed by Michelle O rising to save the day. No one is going to believe Joe gets 90 million votes,but they may be able to sell that. I now believe that is plan B should they fail to remove Trump from the ballot. It the case they do find a way to remove him ,they intend leave Joe and run Nicki Haley whom the elite control as effectively as Joe and Barrak. In any case Joe continues to be the useful Idiot who can be disposed of at will. Haley as president solves them a multitude of problems ,but for the most part insures more of the same.The illusion continues.
This is beginning to backfire on the Democrats bigly. I really think they are surprised that so many people aren’t as gullible as they are. The consequences of living in a leftist echo chamber.
I’m going to enjoy watching them catch the blowback over the next few years.
They will,
God willing they’ll be taken to a dark room, and they’ll be given 60 seconds to weep for their mommies before the blowback pierces their cerebral cortex.
All mommy need get to remember them by is a letter reading:
“Your son was an enemy of the nation. His blood is on his own hands. His assets are forfeit to the nation and the nation is not responsible for his debts.
“If your residence belonged to your son, you should be aware that your home is now government property, and you are hereby ordered to vacate as quickly as possible. Finding other living arrangements is your responsibility. If you cannot or will not vacate, the nation reserves the right to commence eviction proceedings in accordance with relevant law.
“Needless to say, this letter does not compromise your constitutional rights, and if you believe they have been infringed, you have the right to seek legal advice. May we suggest that a better way to avoid the loss of your residence was to have raised your son with greater care.”
How much increasing symapthy for J6ers and Trump support is really die-hard Democrat voter backlash? Democrat voters suffering from inflation, job losses, high interest rates and more important, illegal invaders are organizing and fighting back in Chicagoland. Black and Hispanic neighbors along with suburbs and collar counties are blaming elected Democrat politicans from governor to mayors and city councils. Shouts that only Trump can fix this mess reverberate in townhalls.
Best of all the outraged voters have learned well from their masters and are employing the Democrat’s favorite tool, i.e., lawfare. Lawsuits including illegal shelter zoning violations and environmental impacts loom. New ordances limiting hotel/motel occupancy with corresponding fines per person per day are being enacted while Democrat political deflection plays are failing.
“Rioters”?
Puhleeze! As a SCOTUS member once said about pornography… I’ll know it when I see it. I saw the Jan. 6 mostly peaceful protest in real time and in multiple replays … it was no RIOT until the crowd was fired upon. The FBI fabricated a riot out of a peaceful … legal … protest
Then why did 760 plead guilty to charges?
You guys are making it seem like there were 10 people charged.
You act as if VICTIMS of officious prosecution won’t take plea deals just to make it stop. The government has unlimited resources to persecute and prosecute … most Americans cannot withstand such an attack.
And I’ll bet you’re one who claims too many POC are in jail on trumped up charges … Right?
Lol this is a joke.
Go read the court documents and tell me they are victims.
They were probably told of a faster and more leanient judicial process if they pleaded guilty instead of continuing rotting in a cell for an indefinite time if they pleaded innocent…these people are not hardcore criminals used to be incarcerated and we’re already freaking out behind bars…Look at the whole twisted picture here, do you think it would be beneficial for the MSM to report that the accused are mostly pleading innocent? No, having guilty pleas serves the narrative…the system knows they are in misdemeanour territory at worst…all they care about is their narrative, for mass control.
I’ve seen the footage, the only true injustice was that poor unarmed woman who lost her life shot in the stomach, again her murder was for the narrative.
Are you naive or just an insincere lefty at all cost?
“Are you naive or just an insincere lefty at all cost?”
I suspect that on this particular subject he is being paid somehow. He is way WAY too invested in this subject for the normal middle-class Canadian that he claims to be. He is complete and utterly unable to resist posting *every single time* the subject arises (the the Colon and Ukraine…Allan’s Ukraine nonsense is just his bigotry combined with a relatively low IQ).
“Then why did 760 plead guilty to charges?”
Let’s put YOU in jail for two years, loser, and see what you are willing to plead guilty to…
