What fascist Republicans vehemently oppose: House Hearings on the fascist 1/6 coup attempt

We will be hearing more from this in coming days. But some of the testimony today deserves some respect. The Washington Post writes:
There are people who believe that the moon landing never happened, that the astronauts in the footage all the world saw were actually bouncing around on a soundstage hidden away somewhere. But they aren’t making our laws, they aren’t invited on TV to discuss their perspective, and they don’t have the ability to influence millions.

Yet there are people who deny the truth of what happened in Washington on Jan. 6, despite all the video, all the contemporaneous reports, all the guilty pleas, and all the testimony. And they have a lot more power.

Tuesday’s first hearing of the select House committee investigating the insurrection, with vivid testimony from four police officers who stood against a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters overrunning the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a presidential election, should put at least some questions about that day to rest.

Still recovering from their physical and mental injuries, the officers seemed particularly incensed that the truth of what happened that day is denied by so many on the right, from Trump himself on down.

“To me, it’s insulting, just demoralizing because of everything that we did to prevent everyone in the Capitol from getting hurt,” said Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell about the effort to minimize what happened that day, including by Trump. (“It was a loving crowd,” the former president told Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, “There was a lot of love. I’ve heard that from everybody.”)

Well, there you have it, there was a lot of love in all that hate and violence. Those dumb officers. Incensed that the fascist right, including the ex-president, denies truth. As the ex-president says, it was just a loving crowd full of love. It was not anything close to these images of threat, hate and rage:



SHOOT HER!! SHOOT HER!! SHOOT HER!!
(but bayonet her guts first)

Instead, January 6 was an innocent show of infinite love, peace and tolerance. You know, clearly and undeniably shown and proven in soft, loving images like these:







IMO, the fascist Republican Party and its constant lies, corruption and treason are deeply immoral, and their defenses are usually not even slightly persuasive. Not even a little. 


Questions: Should that evil socialist witch confronting the National Guard have been impaled on bayonets and then shot full of holes? Should the righteous, patriotic tourists of 1/6 been excused for their minor infractions that the law accords all innocent tourists? Is the 1/6 coup attempt how a fascist leader incites fascist inclined followers to fall deeper into the endless pit of hate and lies that American fascism grows and thrives on, or is it a sincere expression of love, tolerance and peace? Am I over the top, outrageous, unfair or otherwise waaay off the mark on this matter?
