What a freaking surreal time in America.
Trump's going to go down as the President who tried to overthrow the government to stay in power. A bunch of his followers took time off of work, traveled to Washington DC, (after being encouraged and cheered on by Trump) they stormed the Capitol, broke into the Capitol, killed one police officer, injured dozens more police officers, threaten to kill Vice President Pence, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and numerous other Senators and Representatives, vandalized one of Americas most historic buildings (and the seat of one of it's branches of power), attempted to overthrow Democracy itself, took video and photos of themselves doing it (!), BRAGGED ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA (!!!), and then they all thought they would just go back home and back to work like they hadn't crossed the line to outright terrorist traitors. Not only is this an example of the obscene white privilege which exists in America, but it shows you these people, not being the smartest folks, hadn't really thought this through.
Four videos tonight for some perspective on the last week and a half. First off, the leader the Republicans don't deserve; Arnold Schwarzenegger taking these terrorist fools to task and labeling them correctly!
Next up, one of the bravest pieces of journalism I've EVER seen. Jordan Klepper was there, at the rally to do one of his Daily Show bits when things turned.
Also from The Daily Show, they did an on point collage of the people who are really responsible for what happened on January 6th. These are the people who poured gasoline on the fire. These are the people who kept throwing the rocks at the beehive. All of these people should be condemned as the anti-American enablers they truly are!
Finally, thanks to Randy Rainbow. I agree with you. You shouldn't go to the same musical well too often, but this is so freaking perfect. Thank you for making me laugh during an unGodly insane time.
