Millions of people marched for Black Lives matter. More than 90% of those protests were completely peaceful, even if you include violence initiated by police in the face of criticism.
But you told a bunch of people to come to DC and prevent the count of the votes for Biden.
And when the President told those people to march, they did. Some of them were armed. They broke a bunch of windows and assaulted some police officers and threatened to kill a bunch of folks.
Most of them are getting probation or short jail sentences.
Here's Thomas Massie talking about Trump's speech the day after:
As for the people who tried to burn down a federal courthouse or assaulted police officers during the George Floyd protests... it's not much of a whatabout because by and large they're facing harsh sentences and new anti-protest laws.
The CRT debate reminds me so much of growing up in Cobb County, Georgia, where our biology textbooks had stickers on them saying that evolution was "just a theory."
Of course, we simply skipped the chapter on evolution altogether.
But I absolutely loved this book, and Stephen Jay Gould, and a teacher let me give a presentation on all the ways we know the age of the earth when I was around 15.
It felt so rebellious sneaking it past the censors.
A note to @RepThomasMassie who swiftly deleted this ill-advised tweet.
The number wasn't tattooed on the wrist. It was tattooed on the outside of the forearm. It helped identify people who died of starvation or disease in the work camps.
So next time you want to compare, say, having to pay for parking, or waiting in line to buy a movie ticket, or getting vaccinated, to the Holocaust, just relocate the tattoo for the photos. For authenticity.
You actually didn't GET a tattoo if you were going straight to the gas chambers, naturally, since you were easily identifiable at that point.
So if you really want to go for extra martyrdom maybe just show a plain forearm. So we get the gist.
