I can't speak for them because I'm not one but so far the only justification I've seen is "those aren't REAL Trump Supporters. They are Antifa and BLM masquerading as Trump supporters." I have seen this many times on my Facebook feed (As comments on southwest Missouri news stories) Yes, because so many BLM and Antifa protests are filled with thousands of armed white men. Excuse me while I try to not break my eyeballs whilst rolling them.

DH and I voted for trump - we are not supporting what happened today. I don't agree with it. CONGRATS you own this. I feel the whole thing is a disgrace to our country.

Am I surprised? Yes. I thought he’d make speeches and complain. Do I support people stopping the peaceful transfer van of power? Absolutely not.

Yes, I’ve seen the same thing. That and “if you didn’t speak out against violence by protestors over the summer then I don’t want to hear you complain about today’s events”.

Were you surprised? Do you feel he incited it? Honestly I'm not surprised. I've been disgusted with everything going on. Do I feel he incited it? Yes, I do. I am trying to understand the thinking behind voting for a leader who you believe to be inciting violence amongst citizens. Especially violence against the government. Can you share how you came to that decision, offer any insight of others of the same mindset?

For what it's worth.... I object to calling snowsilver that. She is my polar opposite in just about every way, but I don't think she deserves to be called that. Of all the conservative Peas on this board, I don't know why she was singled out for that. She absolutely does not.

I'm not a political person, this was my first time voting. A lot has happened since we voted that I just don't agree with.

I hope my continued questions don’t come across as an attack, they are not meant as such. I am genuinely curious and trying to understand, and I appreciate you answering. What about Biden becoming POTUS scared you more than Trump retaining power?

I’m curious, were there things during Trump’s presidency that you didn’t agree with? Also, wondering what about Biden gave you anxiety? A lot of us have experienced anxiety over the last 4 years, especially the idea of another 4 years. I’m genuinely trying to understand, how anyone could feel anxiety about Biden?

Especially if she was still drinking. Elaine. This is beneath you. I’m so glad that you were there for me when Lauren told me that my eye “surgery had fucked up my brain.” Your support and telling her that it was beyond the pale meant so much to me.

It was clear that Trump was not a good person long before he ran for president. It was clear that he was not a good person during the 2016 campaign. It has been clear that he is mentally unstable long before the 2020 election. Anyone that voted for him despite that is responsible for what is going on today. Claiming they “didn’t know” or truly being ignorant to what has gone on the last four years is no excuse.

Some Republican Congressmen are being interviewed on TV, and it is my sincere hope that they are finally FINALLY shaken enough to regain their senses.

That you can so glibly call yourself a “proud” Trump voter today, of all days, says so much about you. You’re either a troll or a horrible person.

DH and I voted for trump - we are not supporting what happened today. I don't agree with it. How is it possible to say that you voted for trump, but you aren’t supporting what is happening today? Trumps been saying this all along. He was inciting violence BEFORE November 3rd. (And as little as 5 minutes ago) He’s been like this his ENTIRE tenure. It boggles the mind as to how people who say exactly this, and then think they are immune from what’s happening right now.

Trump needs to be arrested and tried for treason, along with every other goon who thinks this behavior is acceptable. Trump’s Twitter account needs to be shut down and he needs to STFU.

Where are the ones who did nothing to stop it? Don’t be so high on your horse that you can’t be mobilized into action.

She’s the troll who was campaigning (in regards to black people being murdered by police) that if you just obeyed the police or weren’t a criminal then easy peasy, you’d never be bothered by the police. So yep, nothing but a pathetic troll trying to rile up peas.
