Poll shows softening attitudes toward Jan. 6 attack

[cigaretteman]

Deplorable:

Four years after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol that sparked widespread condemnation and bipartisan disapproval, public sentiment toward the deadly insurrection appears to have softened.
According to a new CBS News/YouGov poll, 80 percent of Americans overall and 70 percent of Republicans disapprove of the actions of those who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol, but “strong” disapproval has fallen from 51 percent four years ago to 30 percent.

Also in the poll, 72 percent of Republicans said they would support Donald Trump pardoning rioters who forced their way into the Capitol, while 59 percent of Americans overall said they would oppose it.
The poll of 2,244 Americans was conducted between Dec. 18 and Dec. 20 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

Because it was almost entirely a made up issue. It was so far over blown you lost credibility.

 

[torbee]

Result of a successful revisionist history campaign on the part of the GOP.

Congrats, I guess?

See?

This dummy bought the new paradigm.

It's easy to delude the dunderheads.

 

[Scruddy]

The election told us this back in November. The left over played their hand and it came back to bite them. Please learn zero lessons from this.

And the stollen election was made up as well…?

And here’s exhibit A of a doofus that so easily falls for the narrative fed them by Dems and media 🤣

 

[ICHerky]

Yep, said so all along. Did the Dems cheat, absolutely but they got away with it so they didn’t steal anything. As they say, it’s only a foul if it gets called.

Thanks for clarifying you're an idiot. Made up issue? If Harris supporters were doing what MAGA did on Jan 6 today, you would want them all hung.

Calling him a dolt is an insult to dolts everywhere.

I still remember watching in real time, so I know what's up. It was worse than any republican will admit and maybe more benign than any dem would have us believe. But that's only because the rioters started getting cold feet when they saw how little backup they were getting. The thought Trump was going to show up behind them but when he pussed out they eased up. The full intention was always there. why was it there? Trump's baseless lies.

This is why we're fooked as a country. Can't have a country when 40% of the population is okay with coups when they lose the election.

Even worse, is they don't even believe it happened because Tucker and Trump told them it was a 'peaceful protest." We are living in an alternate universe where MAGA can't see with their own eyes. They have to be told what they really saw from their orange man and his enablers.

I don’t usually do the grammar police thing but if you’re going to call someone an idiot you might to make sure you’re not being an idiot yourself.

lol fuq you.

Same reason people hate the Patriots and now the chiefs. When that's the only topic, people get sick of it.

The morons are out in force on HBOT these days.

You on crack again? Your posts suggest as much.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

People should be held accountable for bad behavior and breaking the law.

I don’t know why this concept is so difficult.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

The morons are out in force on HBOT these days.

Aren’t they always?

 

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

In trump's parallel universe (and representative of his voters):

Up is really down.
Down is really up.
Russia is good.
Canada is bad.
North Korea is good.
Mexico is bad and should be hated.
Hot is cold.
Cold is hot.

And most importantly, whatever they don't like is rigged.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

This is why we're fooked as a country.

It’s unbelievable.

I’m going to enjoy my life regardless.

Sense. This post lacks it.

Doobi isn't mean spirited, just really, really dumb.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

It was not an insurrection and every honest person knows that. It was a protest by many and a riot by a minority.

Criminal acts occurred that day and accountability is in order but there are real issues regarding violations of the Eighth amendment of the U.S. constitution.

Many of the concerns will be remedied via the upcoming presidential commutations and/or pardons.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Aren’t they always?

Maybe. I have a bunch on ignore, but many others are becoming more and more vocal with their stupidity.

 

[mnole03]

Because the further you get from an event the less people remember. Revisionism isn’t a new phenomenon and burying things works.

Can you imagine if we knew in 2001 what we know now about the Saudi’s involvement in 9/11?

There is likely some truth to your comment; what a sad commentary about us

Seems in letter (definition) and spirit it was.

It was aimed at disrupting the peaceful transfer of power, a principle at the heart of our system of government.

Yeah, I can see that.

You got me on my grammar mistake. Burn.

 

[hawkedoff]

A crisis so magnificent the committee investigating everything need a veteran and award winning TV producer to be involved. For production value. Like Netflix.

WTAF???? If stupid were flowers you’d be spring.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

About animosity toward the Patriots and Chiefs for winning too much in comparison to the indifference about 1/6?

I guess I just don’t understand your point.
