Sounds like ......believe as I do or we’ll run you out of town
The mob killed one Capitol Police officer. Maybe his family should just ignore that; after all, aren't people entitled to believe differently than they do? Sarcasm intended here.
The mob threatened hundreds of congresspeople. That's our Congress they were threatening. The mob threatened our very government. Our entire nation could have collapsed. People in the mob, inside the Capitol building, were looking for congresspeople. If they had caught even one, we might be in a hostage situation right now, or possibly a situation involving a dead congressperson -- even if not deliberately -- all it would take would be one drunkard with a gun in that mob.
As it was, they appear to have been mostly-chemically-sober but malicious and killed one person by throwing a fire extinguisher, then jeopardized national security in as many ways as they could manage to do. (begin sarcasm) Oh well, they don't believe like we do, so we are supposed to tolerate those things (end sarcasm): No! Wake up; there were extraordinary physical things going on there, and they have to be addressed, not just tolerated. You thought we wouldn't know that; you thought we were just fools, because we "tolerate" some things.
You characterize a "party of tolerance", as though if it tolerates some things, then it should tolerate all things.
The riot happened in large part because of a belief that the election was stolen. After _recounts_, _audit(s)_, and _dozens_ of _failed_ Trump _lawsuits_, even the Supreme Court, even stacked with Trump-nominated appointees, didn't find Trump's case about the election worth much. But a lot of Republican officials (including Trump) _continued_ to fan the flames of falsehood, logically leading to the insurrection on Jan. 6. In that way, those Republican officials acted so irresponsibly that they should resign. People who act like that don't belong in those positions in our government. They have disrespected both Congress and the Judicial Branch. That leaves one of our three branches of government that they might respect: The Executive Branch. But Trump doesn't even follow the advice of his own Administration and disrespects _them_.
So what kind of government does that mob and those Republican officials respect? They respect a Dictatorship. And they're willing to overthrow our Government so they can have a Dictatorship instead.
Ah, well, but they're not _socialists_. Sarcasm intended here.
