Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Above everything I’m a democrat and whether one agrees with the result of a vote, democracy must always win, for the alternative is far far worse.
I felt somewhat uncomfortable with anti Brexit protests over here, including the way some of our politicians behaved in trying to override the result of a democratic referendum, but the protests on the streets remained peaceful, and I would always support the right to peaceful protest within the law. But what we’ve seen in the States from Trump and a section of his supporters is on a different scale completely.
I don’t know if people are less mature than they used to be in behaving like spoilt kids and bullies when they don’t get what they want, or suddenly they feel more empowered to throw their toys out the pram, but either way it’s not a good reflection on society of today, especially with lives lost.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
At least Trump doesn't have to bother trashing Capitol Hill on the way out, his mob has done that for him. Now he can concentrate on leaving a dump in every room in the White House, or whatever it is losers like him do.
Meanwhile the adults in the room will certify the results of a fair, legal and democratic election.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Don't normally wade in on this hot topic but given recent events if this were black protesters,you can be pretty sure but that the National Guard would have been at least a presence if not taking more extreme measures.Kent wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 10:01 pm Disgraceful scenes from Washington. Trump had incited violence...sedition. Also no National Guard or security forces present! We’re this black &/or Antifa protesters on Capitol Hill there would have been shootings by now.
Trump should be arrested / impeached (delete as appropriate)

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Personally i think wee Nicola's wrong on this one. We should let him in - the courses are all frozen anyway so he wouldn't get to play golf. Then, when the USA ask to extradite him on terrorism and treason charges, we could trade him for Harry Dunn's killer.Disoriented wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 6:48 amDoesn’t he own half of Scotland?

No, he owns 2 golf courses, both if which make massive losses. But then again, he never was much of a businessman. He is said to be worth a small fortune, but of course he inherited a massive fortune.Disoriented wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 6:48 amDoesn’t he own half of Scotland?

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
This isn't about one man or people being childish. These people are angry. Start with that fact and work back but please don't conclude it was only due to the right wing media.UpminsterO wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 10:37 am It’s exceptionally worrying all this.
America often over many decades state at some world critical times that they lead the free world
As a result of their economic strength and loud rhetoric they campaign for freedom.
I blame Trump. He has to take responsibility of this current circumstances
I hope for the future the system of USA manages to keep Trump subdued and in check
Failure will lead to the demise of the world as we all know it
This is very serious.
If only the Coup had CIA backing it could have been so much more successful.
Its sickening to watch the Fascist enablers like Pence, McConnel etc sh*t the bed and row back toward democracy. They've had 4 years to do that but chose not to. They're not being sincere.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
They used Trump for as long as he was useful to achieve their goals. Now he is done, they are ditching him. The party is morally bankrupt and deserves a massive backlash. But I'd be willing to bet they will take back the house and senate in two years time.
The primaries for those elections will be pretty wild. You are going to get some absolute pro trump loons dislodging existing senators and representatives.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Yep. The GOP was more than happy to use Trump to achieve its goals. And lest we forget that sections of our establishment have been willing to do the same previously:Max B Gold wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 11:03 am

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Sadly yesterday could be just the end of the beginning. There are so many Americans, in every part of the USA who feel that American democracy is not working for them and their rights, as they see them are being ignored or trodden upon. I wonder how many state capitols will be occupied in days to come. Already people have died in a land where firearms ae freely available.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Last time they tried that it didn't work out too well.
Up until now the general direction of human societal evolution has been for larger units (villages to city states to nation states to federal states etc). It is interesting that we seem to have growing calls for some reversal of that trend.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
So, you're saying that nationalists, separatists and tin-pot little Englander Brexiteers are less evolved? Makes sense I suppose, but careful how you say it round here, bud.Dunners wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 11:56 amLast time they tried that it didn't work out too well.

Re: Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA
Last time they split the country it led to the Civil War. That was almost literally a geographical split - North and South. Many think the split would be Repub v Democrat or Right v Left. There are some in the South today calling for states to leave the Union, as they did in 1860-61. I'm afraid it's a very complicated, fragmented and bitter scenario - much like 1861!
