Ashli Babbit was a fucking terrorist and a rube. As was everyone else attacking the Capital that day. She was just stupid enough to get shot after a Secret Service member told her twice to stop.
Donald Trump and everyone in his cabinet is a fucking fascist.
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election but he’s too much of a baby to admit he did.
Most of the US and the world saw what happened that day and it’s our job to remind everyone that it was a fucking coup attempt.
Every current and former US soldier should be fucking ready to kill over Ashi Babbit. That bitch was a fucking traitor, and every single person there on j6 should have gotten the same punishment she got.
And then Trump cheated his way back into office, posthumously made her an honorary US soldier, and gave 1 million in tax dollars to her family.
What real soldiers have to kill, die, and get maimed for, she gets for trying to overturn an election result she didn't like.
Agree, but also I read a bit of her backstory (https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/22/all-day-suckers/) and it was full of things that happened due to regulatory / governmental policy failures and in a way was actually pretty tragic, just more in the "fell victim to multiple scams of various types" way rather than the "dedicated patriot who lost her life standing up for what is right" kind of way.
