Trump's continuing effort to downplay Jan. 6 violence as 'day of love'
Monday marks the fourth anniversary of the violent events of Jan. 6, 2021 -- a day President-elect Donald Trump has continually tried to recast as a "day of love."
Summary
On the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack, Donald Trump continued to downplay the violence, calling it a "day of love" and pledging to pardon many convicted rioters.
Trump reiterated false claims about the 2020 election and criticized Mike Pence for certifying results.
President Biden countered in an op-ed, emphasizing the importance of preserving the truth about Jan. 6 as a violent assault on democracy.
Over 1,600 individuals have faced charges for the riot, with 608 charged for attacking law enforcement.
Look, this is how people like him view love. This is how fascists view love.
I'm going to protect them whether women like it or not.
His idea of "love" is being in total control and being able to abuse you for crossing him.
You want a better example, watch the connoreatspants stream with Adrian Dittman/Elon Musk and listen to what he has to say about human relationships. Thinks modern women has unrealistic standards, but speaks about all relationships being performative to get what you want out of them. He thinks Hawk Tuah represents the downfall of western civilization. Blecch.
Like 2 inches away from a very different timeline. Why the fuck did that guy have to miss?
Not sure how much it would have changed... could have been that he would become a martyr and the maga crows would only rally more around Vance or whoever came next :/
Good point
Don't let perfection get in the way of progress.
Makes sense for a rapist to conflate domination through violence with love, I guess.
I wonder how Mike Pence felt about all that love?
It wasn't a day of love.
Let's love him right the fuck back, then.
It was a day of "I'd love to see these fuckers go to jail" I guess.

This just in: Trump beat his kids.
America is about to have an anti-democratic felon rapist who tries to rewrite history as its leader.
I think everyone should stop and take a moment to grasp where we are as a nation, but we all know the people that really need to do that, won't.
Honestly, I don't see anything but decline for this country in our lifetimes. Americans simply aren't up to the task of responsibly maintaining a democracy. It's truly shameful.
America should have a day of love for trump
Odds are in 100 years it will be remembered as a day of love, and anyone who said different is dead and forgotten.
Victors write history.

Did he also wag his finger disapprovingly?
I'm like
80%95% sure he's trying to be funny.
This is whyIt'd be really funny if he choked on a McNugget and died.
I remember all the rioters fucking in and around the Capitol Building.
It was beautiful.
Ah yes, it was truly a real-life Ultimate Orgy. It was cool when Godzilla, Batman, and Shaq were all doing it, but only because they're fictitious characters. Once real people like Aaron Carter started showing up, I was like "This day of love has gone wrong!"
And then there was the part where everyone else stormed the Capitol. But Trump couldn't be talking about that fiasco/attempted-coup. Only a liar of epic proportions would associate that part with love. He was obviously talking about the rampant steamy sex.
