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

A cop was murdered by this peaceful mob, and several others died. A lady with a don’t tread on me flag was trampled to death. Several police were hospitalized.

I feel like people are living in alternative realities.

This is how I feel.

I'm cynical about social media now deciding to actually do what is right (though I think their hand was forced).

But you cannot say and do shit like these people have and expect nothing to be done. For goodness sake there are people in government positions of power calling for Mike Pence to be put to death.

I'm just stunned people seem to think this ok because BLM. Like two wrongs doesn't make a right.

I'm not sure if maybe Americans don't see it because they're there but from O/S it looks like your democracy and civility is hanging by a thread.

The thing about the social media bans is that we don’t know what they know. We don’t know what the FBI has asked of them. While I’m normally against suppression of free speech (I mean ffs I been banned off every platform for saying men aren’t women and don’t belong in women’s sports or prisons, if I get banned for that, trying a coup and attempting to start a civil war seems bannable).

I think we just need to wait. I had a high level security clearance in the military. Things can move quick and typically not everyone knows what’s going on or why for quite some time. I’m only speculating, but I’m guessing they know some things we do not, and they have their reasons.

I agree with you. Our democracy is in trouble. I’ve been saying it for quite some time. It’s pretty scary.

Oh yeah I definitely agree with you, you can see something very bad was planned the other day what with that dude with the zip ties and the noose.

The amount of zip ties was for 5 politicians.
