My LJ is not a platform for my political views, not at all, but I have to comment on Wednesday's events

It was a long time coming -- most people knew it would happen. It was still hard to believe when it did, though.

truth. we can't exactly say "that escalated quickly". depending on your viewpoint, it's either been escalating since 2016, 1619, or 1492.

I'm really worried we won't take it seriously enough, what's been exposed here.

[kurikuribebi]

I think it will be taken seriously, but for all the wrong reasons.

I haven't posted about this because I begin to rant, and realize I have nothing to add to the conversation. I don't have any blazing insights or clever quips. I have strong feelings, though. Feelings that this is not just Trump. The Republicans who coddled him, humored him, and supported him need to be held accountable, too

I think the Capitol Poluce leadership have all resigned now.

We were horrified here in Oz. Four people killed? This is not supposed to happen. Ridiculous that Trump seemed to incite people to protest then when it turned violent told them to go home? I don't understand any of this.
