I don't know joe. Maybe he would have beat them senseless and arrested them like you did to Black American students protesting your support of Israel?

Just seeing biden's face makes me physically ill at this point. I don't know if I can put up with 6 more months of campaigning. We haven't even got to the part where trump says fash shit everyday and gets headlines. I really don't want to be an american anymore.

Racist accuses other racist of being racist

bro, we know exactly what he would have done because he literally did it. the Floyd protests were still hot in DC as recently as 1 month before J6. like what's with this hypothetical - are we memory holing 2020 already? June literally kicked off with an insane speech from Trump at a church and troops firing warning shots over the heads of protestors. jesus christ this is infuriating.

"Would" is now officially my least favorite word and it will be until election day. Libs <3 using it for a theoretical Trump presidency happening right now. What fucking garbage.

There's probably a word libs could start using that - cough - would annoy me more but I can't think of it right now.

Maybe he would've hid in the basement of the White House and turned off the lights like he did during the George Floyd Protest?

If the Dems keep up this trend of self-alienation, we'll find out in a few election cycles.

The kind Jesus Christ would shoot everyone in the US government

Maybe he should ask what he would do in that situation and then he'd have a pretty good idea of what Trump would do.

I dunno, what if there had been a terrorist who threatened to explode a nuke unless someone put their feet on Pelosi's desk? That's about as meaningful of a hypothetical.

And the answer is that the racist cops would've brutalized them, but that would've happened under any president because cops don't magically get less racist under a different administration.

One argument. Literally everything Dems say can be broken down to Trump is worse.
