    I learned from my time in UC Riverside when I studied the history of Argentina, about how the government disappeared political dissidents, will it take the left wing to understand the message when Trump or DeSantis ends up putting Antifa and Janes Revenge members in jail conditions the 1/6 people had?

    "The 1/6 people" weren't just dissidents; they committed crimes. People
    present at the Capitol on 1/6 who did not engage in violence and did not attempt to enter the Capitol itself were not jailed.

    Additionally, "the 1/6 people" were not jailed in unusual conditions; they faced the same jail conditions that pretty much everyone else who goes to
    jail faces. Perhaps there are lessons to be learned: jail conditions suck and white people can attack police officers and live to talk about it.

    Congressmembers were denied access to the prisoners which does not help transparency.

    Members of Congress do not have special privileges to visit any prisoners
    they wish, especially when the prisoners are in a facility not run by the federal government (the D.C. jail is not run by the federal government).

    Additionally, the members of Congress showed up unannounced with a camera
    crew, which violates visitation rules. Members of Congress have to follow the same rules as everyone else, and the use of camera equipment is considered a threat to the safety and security of the jail.

    The insurrectionists were kept separated from the general population for
    their own safety. After all, they had attacked the US Congress in an attempt
    to keep Trump in power, and some people weren't too happy about that.

    Plenty of people are held in jail pending trial; the insurrectionists did not receive unusual punishment.

    Hello Matt,

    I learned from my time in UC Riverside when I studied the history of Argentina, about how the government disappeared political dissidents, will it take the left wing to understand the message when Trump or DeSantis ends
    up putting Antifa and Janes Revenge members in jail conditions the 1/6 people had?

    No worries. Crist will take care of DeSantis, and Biden will take care
    of Trump (again). And Argentina will always be crying for Madonna.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Hello Matt,

    of Argentina, about how the government disappeared political
    dissidents, will it take the left wing to understand the message

    This is not Argentina, which was once run by a military junta.
    This is not Gilead, the land of make believe that Trump and DeSantis
    want to turn this country into. We have laws in this country, where
    folks who violate those laws are granted a fair trial, convicted and
    put in prison.

    Additionally, "the 1/6 people" were not jailed in unusual conditions;
    they faced the same jail conditions that pretty much everyone else who
    goes to jail faces. Perhaps there are lessons to be learned: jail
    conditions suck and white people can attack police officers and live
    to talk about it.

    No jail cell is a hotel room, where guests can invite whoever
    they want, whenever they want. It is a holding place for people
    awaiting trial.

    Prisoners do have visitation rights, as established by the the city
    or county where they are being held. But members of Congress have no
    special privileges to circumvent those rules.

    For Life,
    Lee
