Attempting a coup = not the good guy
It’s framing. For the next coup. Because there will be a next one. The Nazis didn’t win their first coup either.
Hitler was only sentenced to 5 years in prison despite being convicted of treason. He lived in comfort and wrote his famous book there.
The 60-day, nine-month, and time-served sentences make a mockery of justice and a tragedy of history. 20 years is about right if not a bit lenient for plotting what would have gotten someone hanged, drawn, and quartered at the time of our country’s founding.
Hitler was only sentenced to 5 years in prison despite being convicted of treason. He lived in comfort and wrote his famous book there.
Just to add on to that. He served 9 months and was released on good behaviour. A reminder he spent those 9 months writing a manifesto that promoted genocide. I hope we can learn from history.

If they think attempting a coup is being the good guy, I actually hope they become “bad guys”.
It depends tho. Overthrowing an authoritarian is usually considered a good thing. But mostly, it only depends on the success of the coup. Successful coup = we were heroes. Unsuccessful coup = they were traitors.
Unless it succeeds. Most Mericans today think the revolutionaries are heros cuz freedom, but at the time there were plenty of people who were against splitting from England. Now this is more like being a Confederate sympathiser, and that tracks perfectly.

Smashes a Capitol policeman with the riot shield you stole off of him. We are the good guys!
Can you imagine the timeline if she were VP?
I think McCain would have replaced her (if that’s even possible.)
It’s hard enough for me to imagine a timeline where she’s relevant.
Same here. It seems she just pops up every so often, says something stupid, then disappears again into the woodwork.
Makes me wonder who pays her to ‘pop up every so often’.
Unfortunately, people like Marj are and it’s possible that Marj is even worse than Palin.
Alternative headline: Sarah Palin thinks criminals are good guys

All I remember Sarah Palin for is that one porn star who played her for a US politics xxx parody
She’s a nobody
Dumb lady makes dumb statement. More news at 11.
Chin up, gents, you’ll get to smear feces on the capitol walls next time
I doubt Sarah or the people she is crying over do much thinking at all.
I bet Palin let’s Trump shit in her mouth.
Not a good guy though.
As her favorite book says, “Woe to those who call good, evil, and evil, good”
Conservative women need to keep their mouth shut and stay in the kitchen. There are bible quotes on this. Every time they speak in public the only response should be
KJV: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
RSV: “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.”
GNB: “I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.”
I wanna see hundreds of replies to every tradwife politicians with these every time they speak and I wanna see reporters repeat these instead of asking questions. If they want rights and be treated with respect, ditch the religion and trad shit and join the rest of us in the future.
How about we start calling them out on all the foolish things the Bible forbids, but they ignore and do anyway such as:
-
Wearing clothing made of blended fabrics - leviticus 19:19
-
Wearing ripped or torn clothing - leviticus 10:6
-
Eating shellfish - leviticus 11:10
-
Eating pork - leviticus 11:4
-
No short hair cuts, and no shaving beards - leviticus 19:27
-
No tattoos or piercings - leviticus 19:28
-
No alcohol in church - leviticus 10:9
-
No working on the sabbath - leviticus 23:3
-
No divorce - mark 10:9
-
No wearing jewelry - timothy 2:9
-
No lying - leviticus 19:11
-
Don’t mistreat foreigners - leviticus 19:33-34
-
Buying or selling land - leviticus 25:23
I could honestly do this all day as there are so very many things to write here, but I feel this is sufficient to demonstrate my point.
Don’t let these people use their faith as justification to be terrible humans until they follow every word “written” by their infallible god in their hypocritical self contradictory book that none of them have actually read.
That would take progressives to actually go on the offensive for once in their lives. It ain’t happening. We both know that.
Conservatives lead an endless charge to alway be on the attack. Always lash out at the media, lash out against Democrats, lash out at the big bad gob’ment.
Democrats aren’t willing to defend themselves if their own lives depended on it. And these days, that isn’t fiction anymore.
Evangelicals aren’t bound by the laws of the old testament, so most of your list has no bearing on them.

They’re not, but a lot of their positions are justified by other things that sit right next to what Hazdaz listed.
They aren’t bound by the New Testament either, with all that ridiculous socialism from that Jewish hippie

To be fair, some of those restrictions were lifted in the new testament.
“It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” -Matthew 15:11
Ok, but should we still banish people from society if they have sex during a menstrual cycle as leviticus 20:18 commands?
the new testament
Wait a second, Omnipotent Man didn’t get it right on the first try? Something’s fishy here.
They don’t have any problem pulling from the Old Testament whenever it suits their bigotry.

Why are Republicans calling people that directly attacked and killed people in the hallowed halls of the Capital building “the good guys”?
Because they’re tribal partisan hacks. The only thing they care about is them VS everyone else
You’re almost there. It’s because they’re liars (the politicians / boosters). Tribalism is reserved for their base. The leaders are cynical af.
You think Tucker is genuinely perplexed by the issues he talks about with interviewees? Don’t worry, that’s a rhetorical question. I know Lemmy users aren’t idiots. Just making a point.
Unfortunately, some Lemmy users are idiots. Had a discussion with a person who thinks unions are the worst thing to happen to workers, and would not understand that they’re the reason we have weekends. The person probably wants slaves.
I would have also accepted “because they’re on the take” or just one big “GRIFFFFFFFTER” as alternative answers.
The people who want to bring back slavery assume they won’t be the slaves. If they aren’t billionaires then they are making a big assumption.
These are the same dingbats that have made Ashli Babbitt a martyr (and have doxxed the man who shot her) and never can answer the question. Just what the f— was she even doing there that day?
Not one of the people that cry about her and pretend to be so very concerned about it can answer why she was even there. Of course, this is the same bunch that think killing someone over selling loose cigarettes (if they are Black) is NBD.
Look, another unindicted co-conspirator!
They can all get fucked along with you, Sarah.
Imagine thinking Sarah Palin was someone whose thoughts were worth more than the wretched air they’re made of.
