I get your passion, but it could be interpreted that you're calling out Nanners as an idiot as he may or may not believe those things.
Let's try to keep it cool for the short term and establish a tone of conversation where we actively avoid pushing each other's buttons.
I'm sure you could have expressed those thoughts without stereotyping all those people as idiots. Some are, some aren't. All are more complicated than can be summed up by a political party belief.

Yeah, you've said this a few times. No one knows where you got this from, but it's obvious you're using this to call FTR members bigots.

What did they think would happen when they scared the shit out of the actual people who write the actual laws?
Even if all they intended to do was scare them, which maybe it was for a lot of them - those people who you scared are going to react. And when the people you scared are your own legislators, well... consequences.
Don't get me wrong, we send way, way too many people to prison in the US by a factor of about 10x, and I'm not saying any prison sentences are justified for the vast majority of protestors on Jan 6, IMO.
You do have to appreciate the irony in the "law and order" party getting all bent out of shape when the law is pointed at them, though, right?
