yea stop comparing their issues with legitimate issues. they lost an election then cried about it and tried to violently change the results. that's not an issue that needs to addressed like, jesus christ dude...and if you mean their issue is that the GOP is terrible and brainwashed them...they've been doing that for decades and didn't create terrorists (at this scale) until now.

The issue is people not being well represented by their governments and being deeply distrustful of the election process. This primes them to believe the big lie that the election was fully rigged and that they have the president's approval to storm the capitol.

And yeah as you pointed out, the funny thing is that it is mostly just their own party leaders who are lying to them. Then we get to the problem that being Republican is way more than a political ideology, but is a cultural identity and you can see that it isnt so easy for someone to make the shift.

You need to do something about all these white people that are feeling screwed over. The whole way America works is just stupid. We have two parties and a deep urban and rural divide.

At the end of the day, I don't think anyone is going to fix this country by engaging in culture war BS and taking glee at calling Babbitt a terrorist, but not consistently applying that label to non white persons. No one should be calling someone a terrorist with glee in any situation.
