How do YOU think 9/11 threatened American democracy?It’s a Trump-like double-down. There’s the irony.

That depends on how you view the steadfastness of one man - Mike Pence.Democracy wasn’t in danger of collapsing on Jan 6.
MAGA is TalibanBold narrative choice grouping yourselves with Al-Qaeda.
This.Democracy wasn’t in danger of collapsing on Jan 6.
If you truly believe 1/6 had any chance of success to destroy democracy, you are as deluded as the folks who would pay to follow a blogger. Neither event was going to change the course of our country, despite the severity of both.How do YOU think 9/11 threatened American democracy?
It wasnt on 9/11 either……There was a more DIRECT threat to democracy….in fact there was an act of TREASON committed by the TOURISTS and Trump on 1/6…they interfered with the orderly transfer of power of the United States government….which by Constitutional definition IS an act of treason.Democracy wasn’t in danger of collapsing on Jan 6.
If the military backed it you might have something.OP, aka Simple Jack, as mentioned in another thread regarding this; One event was a threat to the country. The other was a threat to its democratic experiment. Two different things.
Bullshit!If the military backed it you might have something.
A few hundred rednecks? No
I think your stance is naiive.If you truly believe 1/6 had any chance of success to destroy democracy, you are as deluded as the folks who would pay to follow a blogger. Neither event was going to change the course of our country, despite the severity of both.
I don’t think it had anymore chance of success than the Confederacy.If you truly believe 1/6 had any chance of success to destroy democracy, you are as deluded as the folks who would pay to follow a blogger. Neither event was going to change the course of our country, despite the severity of both.
Then what was “the Tourists” purpose of invading the Capitol Building and its House and Senate chambers during the scheduled formal certification of the election results and official tabulation of the Electoral College votes, thus certifying Joe Biden as President of the US? Why were these Tourists breaking into members offices and searching for certain leaders? Why were Congressmen of both parties being evacuated from the premises while the Tourists carried on their vandalism? Why were Capitol police being attacked, maced and killed by these Tourists?If you truly believe 1/6 had any chance of success to destroy democracy, you are as deluded as the folks who would pay to follow a blogger.

They might have and could have done far worse than they managed. My point is that it wouldn’t have converted our democracy into (I guess is what you’re thinking) a dictatorship.Then what was “the Tourists” purpose of invading the Capitol Building and its House and Senate chambers during the scheduled formal certification of the election results and official tabulation of the Electoral College votes, thus certifying Joe Biden as President of the US?

Answer me these questions, ‘cause I got more for you to answer, you stupid ignorant sumbitch. !
lol…so you actually thought a bunch of rioters, mostly unarmed, were going to overthrow the U.S. government? 😳Sure as hell was, one poor decision by Mike Pence away from a full-blown constitutional crisis unlike anything since the 18th century.
Why?Pretty disgusting these two events are even being compared.
To clarify, you realize it's the right that is comparing them, not Harris. Harris did not say J6 was worse than 9/11. She said J6 was the worst threat to democracy since the civil war. She in no way made any comparison to 9/11.Pretty disgusting these two events are even being compared.
I don't give a shit who is comparing them. It's gross.To clarify, you realize it's the right that is comparing them, not Harris. Harris did not say J6 was worse than 9/11. She said J6 was the worst threat to democracy since the civil war. She in no way made any comparison to 9/11.

If one is "worse", then the other is better by definition. Try reading your first post in this thread. SmhSo much anger, lol.
Now, can you point out where I said it was "better?"
I said one was more of a threat to American democracy than the other. Both were egregious.
You have to read the entire sentence, my friend.If one is "worse", then the other is better by definition. Try reading your first post in this thread. Smh
To be clear, it is a THREAT to democracy. And honestly, it’s still an active threat.While J6 was dumb as hell, I do cringe when I hear people say it ruined or would have ruined democracy in America, that’s a bridge too far. Everyone who participated is a fool and could also be labeled a traitor. But it’s not as if the structure of the government would have fallen because of it.
If one is looking objectively at which event had the potential to damage the American project (i.e. being the leading light in democracy for the world) Jan. 6 was far worse than Sept. 11.
