I am surprised how distressed i am about the insurrection. One CNN talking head said this is either the end or the beginning of something, depending on how we unfold responses. I do so hope it's last gasps, and many of the Republicans who are entrenched in power recognize what this means. Ending -- Twitter blocking the president.
I suspect my distress is just as much to the small traumas against justice and my sense of my country over the past four years.
I have been horrified at the contrast the law enforcement response between these protestors and BLM protests.
I am horrified of what information could have walked out with the Trumpists who were going through offices and desks. Fur coat dudes might not have a clue, but surely some folks could.
Can i hope for the 25th amendment to be invoked? Dare i hope?

By now, I'm mostly distressed at the reaction, which includes a lot of people doubling down on their usual positions, once the initial shock wore off.
This was a riot, not terrorism. My local paper should not be using terrorism to mean "violent political action by our opponents".
The cops acted mostly as they should have acted in all these cases. Not surprised they were on good behaviour with this group, less good behavior in other recent cases. But blaming them for doing the right thing for a change is counterproductive.
A quick search of Fox news via Google didn't find the alleged claim this was a false flag Antifa operation, or rather that Antifa people had infiltrated Trumps followers and convinced them to do this. Shame on Fox if they claimed this; shame on folks in social media if they made up their claim about Fox news.
