When violence was destroying livelihoods, killing and intimidating non-politically-connected civilians, a large part of the most powerful elected officials in Washington were taking a knee to the perpetrators of that violence. They were logistically encouraging it. This isn't a "conspiracy theory". The photos are burned in all of our minds, and Harris's payments for her allies to get out of jail - literally - are public record.

The violence that hit the capitol was not greater than what I describe above. Measured by lives and livelihoods lost, and by physical plant damage that occurred, even according to the hysterical media, the Capitol violence doesn't even begin to approach the same level of destruction.

No. The difference is simple: location. The people running the show have zero loyalty for the citizenry of this country. If you - in your neighborhood far from them - get killed or have your life ruined, that is simply not an issue for them. They literally don't care. BUT, if there is so much as someone who sneezes on one of them, THAT is treason.

Long story short, threats against the members of the ruling class are defined as treason, and will invoke domestic terrorism charges. Threats against citizens (who need do no more than disagree with this ruling class intellectually) will be encouraged and acted upon with the help of the ruling class. Make no mistake. These people rule. They do not represent. If they represented, the above statements would not be true. And the above statements are not ideological, they are observational.
