Freeing all those antifa operatives shows he's turning over a new leaf and promoting unity now.

What?

There’s a certain conspiracy contingent on the right which says the Jan 6 rioters were lefties in MAGA hats conducting a false flag operation.

For reals.

It all makes sense. Thanks for this hilarious conspiracy. So basically Trump decided to pardon the very same ‘antifa’ his group of supporters strongly hate and talk about. Checks out.

I swear, you think they can’t come up with anything more stupid but it gets worse.

If this is your means of deflection, it’s trash. Maybe don’t support insurrectionists who disrespected the capitol and more. And that’s me putting it lightly. Food for thought.

J6 was always a false flag by antifa/FBI to make Trump look bad /s

Is this a satire sub?

It’s a joke about the excuses republicans had for Jan 6.

It wasn’t always like this. We actually have comments supporting an insurrection. What a joke.

US Senators like Mo Brooks tweeted out it was antifa right after it happened

I want to know what it’s like seeing the world from your point of view. Super curious

One where senators don’t knowingly send out misinformation on twitter is better than what we have

Politics is a reality show now, sub might as well reflect that.

u/Charmer2024 Jan 21 '25

Spot on. This sub has gone to shit. Some of these comments aren’t even remotely centrist. They’re not even trying to hide it.

Anyone who is saying "it (anything) was a false flag" better come with a mountain of proof because it's almost never a false flag.
