However, it would have been interesting to see what the reaction of the authorities would have been if those idiots were a several hues darker than white....

I think its fair to say they are not liberally minded 🤔

In terms of the reaction of the authorities then if they knew a demonstration dominated by African Americans was planned to take place at the heart of US democracy there would have been a heavy militaristic police show of power

Being labelled as a 'Liberal' in the States is considered to be a very slightly pinker hue than commie red....

Unless a certain individual made sure there wasn’t extra security there on that day, which is very strange with a trump rally going on nearby hey? It’s almost like he wanted this to happen.

That paranoia, which includes the fear of the state/UN/Bill Gates etc moving in to control their lives, is obviously partly influenced by the the collective history of people fleeing oppressive regimes but Canada doesn't seem to have gone down that road.

The cult of the individual and the disregard for others is always a problem but when the uneducated and guns are introduced to the mix it's obviously a tinder box.

The paranoia is manufactured by right-wing media and fringe conspiracy groups. Trump fuels it and feeds off it. Rupert Murdoch bears more responsibility for this than anyone.

Another irony is that someone who flips burgers at McDonald's probably pays more in tax than Trump, who promised to 'drain the swamp'.

And get this: 45% of Republicans support the storming of Capitol Hill, apparently, and 69% don't blame Trump...

If the republicans want to clear this mess they need to completely distance themselves from Trump and vote in a new leader. That may push Trump out of the public eye.
If not, I fear he will go out of his way to totally disrupt the Biden presidency and his supporters will stay around for a long time, carrying machine guns etc., and arranging rallies

American political parties don't have leaders as such when they're not in power. A nominee will be elected by registered party members (almost anyone can register-https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote) to run for president prior to the 2024 election. They've ****ed themselves so hard over this. Trump could run as an independent and win.

What about if he's over the wall?

The bloke has committed enough misdemeanours to put him away for at least a term, this latest one is affray surely.

That's pretty much the only way to end this. I'm pretty sure he's guilty of multiple felonies, whether or not he can be convicted of them is another matter. I'd like to see him in jail, but a felony conviction would be enough to get him out of politics.

Re: US Protests

According to a Gallup Poll taken in May and June 2020, 54 percent of voters who identify as Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would like to see their party become more moderate, as would 37 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. This leaves relatively small percentages of Americans who actually embrace far-left and far-right political agendas. Yet it is those on the fringes that dominate the political discourse, thanks in large part to popular biased cable news programming and social media.

There you have it.

They were showing the leader of Iran earlier saying how much democracy in the west is on a knife edge.

A moderate in America is basically like our less extreme tories like ken Clarke

There is no left in America in reality

Mind you there isn't really one here

Blair was a tory as far as I am concerned 😟

I’d imagine the vast majority of Noo Yorkers are watching the events in Washington as if it’s occurring in a completely different country, a country totally alien to them. Would this be near the truth?

There is no mainstream party in America that represents the left leaning voter like the Labour Party generally has in the past over here though ?

The Democrats are nearer our left leaning conservatives , happy to be corrected

Yeah I thought as much, they've just got to make something, anything stick.
Judging by the way his so called allies are condemning, resigning thus throwing him to the wolves so to speak, that shouldn't be a problem.

Would you say there is room for a third political party in the USA which would appeal to the 91% of people who would identify as being "moderate"?
