So, yeah, no one stormed the Capitol. The police opened the door and people calmly walked in

Politicians are the actors/executors of these billionaires and their will, though. Everyone needs to be dealt with evenly, and with a just hand.

Attacking the politicians will do nothing if their lords never change and can continue to buy them or buy worse replacements (as we’ve seen under Trump).

It’s misdirected rage. I’m sad to see how gullible people are.

I never said attack, but that may happen. I don't even see widespread attacks, or even any honest reporting. The folks I know in DC have different things to say about the protests during the day, but they mostly kept to themselves.

I said investigations, rigorous and just.

I’m just afraid because mobs do what mobs do, regardless of how well intentioned they are when they arrive. Mob mentality is utterly terrifying, reason completely shuts down. I think emotions are high on both sides right now and it’s making people irrational and they’re making illogical decisions fueled by extreme emotions they’ve been manipulated into feeling.

I would try to get rid of that fear, if I were you. You have a bit of a quiet moment right now to do so.

I’m more than prepared, I’m just sad it’s come to this is all. And I wish people were deeper thinkers.
