Until they breached the capitol, yeah. Of course. It’s a fucking protest. By your definition lots of CEOs public death threats on lemmy daily. But they’re just doing their jobs. Right? You’re supposed to have a wide berth on speech and robust response to action. Especially political figures, even when they’re doing their job.

You don’t have to demonize and mistreat people having genuine dialog with you. We’re allowed to have different opinions and still treat each other like human beings. Overall this is a small disagreement over human rights.
