105,000 evacuated from Afghanistan vs 1 from the Whitehouse. So by percentage the number of deaths in Afghanistan is miniscule.

Overall violence. At the Kabul airport, one deranged lunatic blew themselves up, and that is how everyone else got killed. It was a one person act.

On January 6th, thousands of people were enraged. Thousands of people hit and stomped and smashed and rioted and threatened.

One violent person vs thousands.

I guess you missed the mob of people trying to get onto planes at the Kabul airport.
And those at the gates who were being beaten back and killed by the Taliban.
Oh well ...

But I'm standing by what I said.

Are you somehow assigning blame to Biden for the actions of the Taliban?

Don't make stuff up and put words in my mouth.
No where did I even hint at any connection.

his rage over losing is not over and continues in the form of parents shouting at school board members over masks.

The remark in the OP is about evacuation and is not about tragedy.

With a lot of help from Fox , AM hate radio and propaganda "news outlets" of which there are many. Throw in social media and it is a huge movement of brainwashing and violence- incitement.
