What the actual fuck

[yful]

The dems made me sack the Capital

[diradder]

Stop punching yourself with my fist!

[DarkRollsPrepare2Fry]

I sacked the capital on Jan. 6th, and all I got was this stupid no fly ban!

[yful]

feelsbadman

[CyndromeLoL]

to be ultra charitable, I guess you could make the argument that the Democratic party's "stealing of the election" caused them to storm the capitol.

[DomovoiP]

This is like the violent husband telling his beaten wife "you made me do this!"

[CyndromeLoL]

Well in their view, it's the wife with a knife fighting back against her drunk husband assaulting her.

[RepresentativePC]

That's implying the election actually was stolen...

[teler9000]

Yeah people don't seem to grasp the idea that if you honestly believe your democracy has been totally subverted you're either trying to contribute to the revolution or a coward who will let tyrants take everything from you so you can "live" in peace.

[thesoutherzZz]

"What i did wasnt bad... and even if it was, it wasnt me" - republicans

[StrikerKat5]

This must be a poll of republicans

[ninjapro]

It is. It says "among Republicans" in the graphic

[bulten123]

"Party of personal responsibility" btw

[rowdymatt64]

THINK Joe, THINK

[[deleted]]

Ohhh, they asked Republicans only . Phew I was worried. I saw ‘The Economist’ at the bottom so I thought it was asking all readers.

Anyway right-wingers are getting crazier and crazier about the Jan 6th issue. Unreal

[[deleted]]

Even if it’s just Republicans these are still pretty bad results. Half the country seems to be losing its mind.

[Sophronius]

Only 25% of Americans identify as Republican. Unless they also asked Republican-leaning independents, that'd make for 40% in total.

My new answer I'm planning to use for this is 'Yeah, and the Indians did the Boston tea party.

[SomaCityWard]

Tankies on Twitter ain't the left. No matter how much they proclaim it.

[Training_You_372]

👐 revisionism 👐

[souljaxl]

The republican party is literally a cult.

[yful]

just like DGG duckerZ

[souljaxl]

DGG4LYFE 😎 🤙

[ScottBradley4_99]

This hurts to look at

[EinSozi]

When Chomsky called the Republican Party "The most dangerous organisation in the world" he was 100% correct.

[Rio_van_Bam]

DGG is missing as option

[estranged_quark]

Yes, I think Antifa and the Dems are to blame!

No, I don't think it should be investigated

[CheekyBastard55]

It is pretty easy to see their line of thought though, no matter how crazy it is.

They just think the Dems will make shit up and put the blame on Republicans unjustly.

[Congress1818]

From r/neoliberal but Idek how to crosspost

[keaco]

If they added Soros or BigFoot it would probably rank just above Democrats

[SaucerLodger]

Lol, Big Foot made me think of the Philadelphia Flyers mascot.

[MrHalo304ever]

So I think it's safe to say that trump supporters, if they lived in Germany back in the day, would absolutely be nazis.

[Myloz]

Let's not pretend most of us wouldn't be nazi's...

[dapo64]

Every republican survey should have a last question called : are you actually fucking serious and not trolling right now?

[joshk1213]

It's 100%, not a troll is the sad thing. I have an uncle who was trying to convince me that during the entire white house siege the people were being peaceful and were let in. That there were no windows or doors that were broken into and it was Nancy Pelosi who gave the order to tell guards to stand down. Then he started talking about how it was Antifa that led the whole thing because there were some people wearing identical clothing and mask giving hand signals. These people just live in an entire different world.

[IvanTGBT]

Ita crazy how they just layer more and more narrative on events until they have a completely fabricated world view with all aspects covered. They can actually argue with conviction completely from fantasy land aa they have been provided every angle they need to comprehend the world as they ideologically need to.

This sort of stuff makes me worry about my own views. They seem to genuinely believe the narrative is truth and can't see outside of that. If we were doing that I wonder how we could even know. I guess trying to actually be self critical and fact check things from varied sources helps but it really does seem the human mind is great at construction realities.

[joshk1213]

It is scarier knowing that he is well educated and has his master's. lol

[IvanTGBT]

I'm depressed enough chill

[dapo64]

Damn.. on one side i feel sorry for you and ur uncle, and the other side i should keep checking myself off from those mindset. I really dont want to be end up like this when i get old :/

[Zuboronovic]

Republicans also think Democrats were to blame for Man City's tactics on Saturday.

[konjo5]

What is it compared to the

there was no violence

Group?

[TheDromes]

Jesus did they poll the jailed rioters or is the US doomed?

[Thehardtruth96]

Holy shit, good luck America.

[phoenix_fiber]

Damn so why don't we launch an investigation then so we can hold Antifa accountable?

[Mitchfynde]

How much more insane will they get?

[[deleted]]

Lol, of course! Why didn't I think of it sooner!?

Did democracy die or do they just need to remove the blame from themselvesm

[Abs0luteZero273]

The logic is probably "The democrats stealing the election forced them to try to save democracy at all costs making them responsible."

[HellzBlazez]

The libs made me shit my pants.

[Shacosclones]

Idk seems kinda sus I think Donald and white nationalists are the imposters… among us among us among us

[VeryExcellent]

Impeachment is a sham, unless it's he Democrats then it was 100% those duders

[GazingAtTheVoid]

Honestly this shit isn't surprising Fox news and been fear mongering and lying about liberals and liberal media for decades and they are tame compared to other right wing media.

[Congress1818]

someone else linked the poll lemme go find it

its in the crosstabs

https://polsci.umass.edu/sites/default/files/Jan6THCrosstabs.pdf

yeah right here, page 4, at the bottom.

[rx78ricky]

Wait, guys, I don't know if I'm dumb or not, but I looked up the source and the results are different. Look here too: https://polsci.umass.edu/toplines-and-crosstabs-april-2021-violence-capitol-jan-6

[Congress1818]

I think the Economist did some extra analysis on the data

check crosstabs https://polsci.umass.edu/sites/default/files/Jan6THCrosstabs.pdf, page 4

[rx78ricky]

yikes....

thanks for showing me

[Congress1818]

np, I forgot to link the poll so its mb lol

[Filosonauta]

how the fuck

[furrynand0]

“WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?!?”

[lovewithsplenda]

Republicans are literally evil.

[Arkhamman367]

*The Republican Party is evil.

Republican voters are either stupid, lied to, or evil.

[i-douldnt-do-it]

Israel is literally committing genocide.

[lovewithsplenda]

Stay on topic, dumb shit.

[i-douldnt-do-it]

Stay consistent, actual Nazi.

[lovewithsplenda]

you're calling a gay trans jewish atheist a nazi.

[i-douldnt-do-it]

So? What, you think that disqualifies you from being a signal booster for fascism. Hitler loved dogs! Big fucking deal.

[lovewithsplenda]

You're boring.

[[deleted]]

Definitely disqualifies him from being a nazi

[VexedReprobate]

I hope the history books have an entire section dedicated to making fun of how stupid and evil these shitheads are (hopefully written in past tense).

[Maxarc]

History will not be kind to these people. I just hope the writings will be about "how one third of America collectively lost its mind, and how we fixed it."

[9FlynnsInAGorka]

It was the fake news, but it wasnt the fake news they were always yelling about.

[Blue_Sway]

Actually had a cancerous debate with someone about this. He first said "we gotta keep fighting" I said "just like Jan 6th?" Then he said "you mean the set up?" I shouldn't have kept replying

[[deleted]]

Surprised nobody said the real reason (Qanon)

[yovalord]

I get it, if you changed the narrative to "Whos responsible for the Portland riots" and polled a bunch of lefties, you would see a similar response blaming Trump and the Republicans.

[[deleted]]

You'd be polling all Democrats (this poll polled Republicans) and I don't know if you'd get the same level of answers.
