So now we have the left protesting like crazy. Every single day we have protesters in the streets protesting Donald Trump. But remember, they are not protesting ICE. Not really. It's all anti-Trump. They'll claim it's about ICE but that isn't true. And, of course, the mainstream media extols them as paragons of righteous indignation. Bold heroes standing up to a power-mad tyrant. Yeah, whatever. But these are the same people who get blue in the face angry over the J6 riot. Which they called an "insurrection". Sure.
What's crazy is that, when you look at J6, by their own metrics, it was a "mostly peaceful" protest. That's their term. "Mostly peaceful". But the so-called J6 incident pales in comparison to even one of the HUNDREDS of riots the left has engaged in (and is currently engaging in) whenever they don't like whatever is happening in politics. Which is mostly ANYTHING Donald Trump says or does.
During J6 one person was shot to death. An unarmed Trump supporter. Have you ever heard of Ashli Babbitt? Of course not. She was a 35-year-old Air Force veteran. She was fatally shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer while trying to climb through a broken window into the Speaker's Lobby during the riot. An event investigated by Biden's Department of Justice. They determined that the officer who shot her was justified because he felt his life was under threat. In official documents it was reported that at the time of the shooting, the officer reasonably believed that it was necessary to [shoot her] in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber. Case closed.
Now here is the kicker. I don't know ANYONE who condones what happened. Or recommends anyone repeats what happened. Or any such thing! It is WIDELY condemned by all MAGA people and Republicans. I don't know any supporters of Trump who don't condemn the J6 rioters.
Leading up to the J6 unrest, Trump famously said he would never concede the 2020 election and as of this writing (January 2026) he still hasn't. The leftist-Democrat-controlled media says he incited a riot, or an insurrection. This is of course poppycock. Trump was convinced, and remains convinced, that the 2020 election was stolen by some kind of malfeasance. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. It sure was an odd election to say the least.
Does that condone rioting? Nope. No way. But let's look at the double standard regarding "civil unrest". Which is a really nice way of saying rioting. So the left are always committing "civil unrest" or "civil disorder". They act like it is a right protected by the constitution. You know... we have the right to peacefully (or peaceably) assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. Yeah, that. It is found in the first amendment. They refuse to condemn this civil unrest. They won't do it. They claim it is their right to protest. Balderdash!
=================================================================
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."=================================================================
This is what the constitution says. Can you find in here where it talks about rioting or civil unrest being "freedom of speech"? Of course you can't. because it isn't there. It is NEVER EVER EVER okay to riot or create civil unrest to get your way. If you want to hold a sign and respectfully protest (a word that ALSO isn't in the constitution, by the way), that's fine. But there are lines we must not cross.
So, what is "civil unrest"?
"Civil unrest" refers to public disorder such as riots, protests, or strikes, resulting from widespread dissatisfaction with social, economic, or political issues disrupting peace and requiring intervention to maintain public safety, ranging from peaceful demonstrations that turn violent to organized chaos like looting, property damage, and impeding law enforcement. It's a broad term for collective actions, often against the government or existing systemic conditions, stemming from grievances like inequality or corruption, and can be non-violent or violent.
So do we have a right to commit civil unrest to protest things we disagree with? The answer to that is no. We do not!
This is okay.
This is not.
This is fine.
NOT fine.
Hopefully you get the point by now. We have every right to voice our opinions. But we do not have a right to harass, impede, disrupt, destroy, harm, or bully anyone for the sake of expressing your opinion or point of view. We simply do not have a constitutional right to engage in civil unrest. That is a misconception that needs to be addressed loudly and clearly.
If the J6 riot was bad, then all riots are bad. Period. There must be no double standard.
