This is why the activity yesterday at the Capitol has freaked out the governing class of both parties.

This is the first large-scale protest where a crowd was actually questioning the legitimacy of our governing class. They're not asking for more freebies; they're saying the people in that building don't represent them and that the system is beyond fixing.

Yep. The establishment supporters are freaking out today. The game is changing, and for the first time, a moderately correct battle line is being drawn. Even some of Trump's supporters themselves may not recognize what's going on; they think they're supporting Trump. But some are quite aware this has next to nothing to do with Trump. This is about the government and its supporters being illegitimate.

The established powers are going to pull out all the stops to crush this line of thought. But they may just be too late.
