Differences between Watergate investigation and 1/6 probe

I dunno but I did say in the past that Trump lost and Biden was president.

Weither it was through legitimate means is still yet to be determined by the experts.

Your post is illustrative of seeing different "facts" depending on who you support today.

I really do wonder why you believe this… and who it was that so thoroughly indoctrinated you. Which groups, which media, which politicians. It’s fascinating, actually, how people can be so convinced of something so contrary to reality. If you take everything to the extreme and you only allow yourself to see the worst in those you view as political opposition… ask yourself- why? The world is not nearly as white and black as you make it out to be, and deep down I think you know it. Propaganda hasn’t just blinded you… it is devouring you entirely.

If you strip away the indoctrination, what original thoughts are even left? If you just regurgitate the ideas of the ones so easily pulling your strings… who then, are you? Why would you not want to be be free from this?

Cast aside those chains. Sever the strings. Be your own person. Reclaim your mind.

What he said is pretty partisan, which I don't want to be. But he's entitled to his opinion.

One reminder.....there was a great division in the 60s and 70s about the Viet Nam war.

Good point.

Yeah, although that wasn't the only point of division.

Still, when I look around these days, I see quite a few people who have bumper stickers saying they're proud to be a Vietnam Vet, but not many stickers from people saying they're proud to have protested against the war. And nobody really seems to protest against war anyway these days. I wonder why.

The wars since Vietnam were not as blatantly bad, and we lost a lot more Americans in the Vietnam war. There were protestations against the 2nd Iraq war. People were tired finally of the Afgahnaistan war. We are protesting against what Putin is doing, but that's another country so it's not the same.

I'm not really supposed to say such bad things about anyone as a Baha'i, but I can't seem to resist this time.

And I think it is the moral choice. When things are bad, not pointing it out is not a great move. Some may fear the opposition and some may try to be tolerant. But there's a difference between tolerance and indifference and indifference is often all what is needed to keep the things bad.
Kudos to everyone who can effectively criticise with diplomacy (I'm really bad at that).
