I just can't get over all the hypocritic rhetoric . The " Patriot's" were all thugs and terrorists , but Anitfa and BLM are peaceful protestors.
Fucking done with this country.
The hypocrisy is just rank.
I have not been glued to the TV today to "keep up" with the events in DC. So my take is a little distanced.
Regardless, the outcome was predictable so why bother? The news media was going to go full force on this. Anybody who showed up was a terrorist. Anything that happened was a tragedy. Democracy and the nation as we know it are on the brink.
The people I know who need this spin like an addict needs heroin are flummoxed, aghast, unglued, shook up, distressed and shocked by the events of the day. In other words, they are giddy. They can't get enough of it. This is like Christmas, 4th Of July, and their birthday all rolled into one. They probably won't sleep tonight and OD on self-righteousness by day break.
I am fully convinced any rational discussion on the matter is unobtainable. Ex: The "Summer of Love, Looting, and Arson" was all for a good cause done by well meaning Americans. But the events at the Capital were totally different. Obviously these were stupid people brainwashed by the Dictator in Chief to overthrow the Constitution. No comparison. Death to Nazi's!
So why try? If I bring up any cogent argument, I am an enabler of violence and hate. I guess that part of my village is what it is. No changing it.
What else am I supposed to do?"
