The thunderous "wah-wah" of a sad trombone:

"Waaah...the racist lunatic we support
lost the election...waaaaah..."
-these people
So the bad news is that a few hundred people turned up in D.C. for that dumb rally in support of the people charged in the Capitol riot, but the good news is that only few hundred turned up to support-wait, like, do we have to call January 6th a riot? A riot is something that breaks out at Target on Black Friday over flatscreens. The January 6th thing was thousands of right-wing nutters who planned to seize the government, kidnap or murder officials and instal the former host of The Apprentice as dictator for life. I just feel like riot doesn't cover it.

Oh, the gold Trump statue guy.
I'm sure he's got lots of great ideas
and fair-minded opinions to share.
Anyway, the event's organizer, Matt Braynard, told reporters that:

"This is about the many people who were there that day who have not been charged with violence, not have been accused of assaulting a police officer or destroying property, and the disparate treatment they've received. This is about equal treatment under the law."

-Matt Braynard, hoping anyone reading
his comments is unfamiliar with the internet

Regular, of course, being a relative 
concept when it comes to these people.
So, couple of things. First of all, he said that it's not about the people who were charged with violence, which is weird, because Braynard told Mother Jones like, two days ago that the rally was 100% about the people who were arrested and charged and in fact he called them political prisoners which is horseshit. Breaking into the U.S. Capitol building, assaulting police officers and shitting on the floor and then going to jail for it doesn't make you a political prisoner. That just makes you a regular prisoner. 

"Hold your fire, they're white!"
-these cops, evidently
And what disparate treatment is he even talking about? I think most everyone watching on January 6th had the same thought, which "how quickly would these assholes have been gunned down if they weren't white?" Every time a pack of white dudes is feeling under-appreciated, they grab their assault rifles, pile into their pick ups and break into a government building. Look, I'm not pro-hail of gunfire, but any one of those "protests" would have been met with a hail of gunfire if they weren't white. 

So like I said, the good news is that today's parade of fragile white people whining about how they've been mistreated was only a few hundred, and there weren't any major problems, but it's still pretty disheartening that there were any. 
I think they've got that upside-huh? Oh, they're protesting because the people who
tried to overthrow the democratically elected president faced consequences for their crimes?
I see. I'm sorry, how is the right more patriotic than the rest of us? I'm genuinely asking.
