Sure. But then again, if I tell a very aggressive and violent person that he was wronged by a certain entity and he should go do something about it, and that person then goes and acts out violently against said entity, there is a certain co-responsibilty on my part as well.

More and more video is coming out, exposing some of the false narratives, which is interesting to see.

Yeah we will not see eye to eye on this one. As soon as the masses break into the capitol and fights break out with police, any good person should leave. Or when there's gallows erected for Mike Pence. Staying after witnessing that can no longer be labeled as being peaceful. That's of course just my take, but yours seems to downplay what actually took place, which in my book was a violent attack on democracy.

Sure, look into it. Imho, as of now it seems the maximum guilt she might bear is that she underestimated the danger. Which, well, many people did. As Americans say (and I don't know what that even means), hindsight is 20/20.
