So far as I know it's only our US Capital Building, i.e. the center of our Democracy. But Thank God they only stormed the US Capital in a coup attempt, for a second there I thought they were going to do something serious like steal a hammer from a hardware store...Quote:

Wait so the capital building was burned down or people just infiltrated it to make their displeasures known? You honestly think if half the country wanted to overthrow the govt they couldn’t?Quote:

No because the other half would fight them and the Confederacy would be defeated again.Quote:

If the people in the capital riot, loot or destroy property, I feel the same way.Quote:

Of course they aren't gonna overthrow **** :laugh: Like, I'm certain everyone here is just a keyboard warrior. None of you are gonna ever do anything :laugh2: Hell, I am too! The **** I've I'm taking up arms against Americans.
You are very mistaken my friend. It wouldn’t be the north vs the south. It would be two coasts vs everyone else.Quote:
