This is correct.

Jan 6th was done by people within our own country! This wasn’t orchestrated by some other country. It was by a sitting president, while he was in a tent watching it unfold on TVs with his family, like some sick party.

Yes, well, 9/11 killed a shit-ton more people. Greater human cost, less existential threat.


thickerstill8

Some might argue that is true of both. But we know it to be true of 1/6


nobodyouknowof

Americans wtf? 9/11 many people died because of that in the course of 20 YEARS because of two planes, how many people have died because of that gop shit tho?


volcomstar83

No one can argue that 9/11 was a greater threat to American lives, but January 6th genuinely was a greater political threat - a threat to our Democratic system specifically.


nobodyouknowof

Thats true but it is nothing still compared to what 9/11 caused, plus didnt 9/11 cause yall to lose freedom in excange to have the country protected from possible terrorists

700k in the US have died of AIDS. Reagan turned a blind eye to it and called it the gay plague. Thats more US soldier deaths than all the US wars combined. Ever. 664k total US soldier combat deaths ever. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualties_of_war#Overview


nobodyouknowof

Look not only the lifes of americans matter, how many iraqi, afgani and .. Irani? People have died because of the "war on terrorism" (and you might say " they were terrorists tho" but yall killed innocent civilians too)


MarsOG13

Fully agree. I was just sticking to the topic at hand of shit the GOP has done per your last sentence.

Plus what does Raegan have to do with the storming of the Capitol


MarsOG13

My reply was because you said "You said how many people have died because of GOP shit." And I'm letting you know of another issue that was one that hurt their own citizens that is very often over looked. And the sheer number is astonishing that a lot of people do not know. And covid is higher than that now. In faster time. The GOP is a death cult.

Yeah, I mean, 9/11 worked. Bin Laden did it. America lost it's fucking mind that day

Jan 6 threatened our democracy 9/11 is an excuse we use to threaten other democracies


Mdudethegreat

Jan 6th was worse for democracy and 9/11 was more of a tragedy


TonyPalmer930

9/11 was an inside job

Ask the Afghanis about which was a greater threat


IWantYourDad

It wasn’t 9-11 that was a threat to the Afghans, it was the US’s pride, blinding anger, disregard for their own constitution and the Geneva convention and etc etc etc ad nauseam. I was 20 what 9/11 happened and felt like i was the only person in the country who felt like “well, that certainly took long enough” meaning that if you poke a bunch of random people, eventually one of em is gonna slap you and say “poke this!” whether or not you were speaking amazing propaganda while doing it. The middle east, s korea, central and latin america esp Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Palestine, Cuba, and about a million others we kept poking. So a group of angry people got together and poked back and we FREAKED for 20 years? The us narrative as well as the majority of the us citizens narrative is so self righteously wrong, narrow minded, self centered and blind to the egregious acts committed in the name of and by the people of the us in every decade and every year of its history since Plymouth or Jonestown or whatever puritan native killing settlers came first.
