If I had time today, I’d do a thread of all the Emberies and Garyzoners and Greenwalds who, as armed goons stormed America’s capital, decided that it’s really Trump and his followers who need our sympathy and that anyone alarmed at fascist violence is a liberal snowflake....

And I haven’t even dared check if Brendan O’Neill has weighed in yet to say that Twitter/the Democrats/liberals are “the real fascists”

So I see O’Neill has called it. HT @InTheLionsDen_ @LiberalElite10

Here’s a couple.

“Carl Beijer” (HT @SamSacks) forgets to point out the “Fox News grandpas” came in their hundreds of thousands and has guns abs IEDs...

Grayzone tankie Alex makes basically the same point Brendan O’Neil does. This part of the Extremely Online Left thinks Twitter matters more than the popular vote.

Ned Borton at least acknowledges that the DC golpistas are fascists, but uses the opportunity to trash pro-democracy protestors fighting authoritarian regimes outside the USA.

Glenn Greenwald, who has spent the last four years scorning anyone that said bad is dangerous or that Trump supporters might try to mount a coup, almost managed to condemn the putchists, but not quite.

Dan Cohen, another Grayzone tankie, thinks the fascists in Pelosi’s office was karma, and has spent the last ten hours condemning the excessive policing of the riots (most of the rest of us noticed the policing was markedly more restrained than J20 or BLM)

Max B thinks DC events were trivial and the real story was the Jews in the Middle East. (He neglects to mention that Israel’s strikes were on Iranian military infrastructure and had no casualties, or that on the same day Syrian military killed a child in an opposition area).

Mangled this one a bit. I think here were over 100,000 on the streets in totally but I can’t find a good estimate. Also I meant guns *and* IEDs, not commenting on their abs!

And I mangled this one too. Should’ve said GG scorned anyone who thought *Trump* was dangerous. I need either a new phone or new fingers.

The Grayzone tankies sounding like Spiked again here. They think the armed right-wing mob who flew to DC this week are the salt of the earth proletariat.
