Anything from hopes, fears, expectations, predictions, etc. What are your thoughts on the events that transpired today, and what do you think comes next?
I personally, was initially shocked. Not mortified, not surprised, but shocked in a human way, as a reaction to the initial footage of people getting in to the Capital building. I wasn't one of the people thinking that Trump was going to cross the rubicon any time soon.
Then I started feeling other emotions. I was pissed, for one, as this shit was being demonized super fucking quick and had immediate national guard response as opposed to the months of burning, looting, rape, murder, and carnage of the George Floyd riots. I was full of patriotism and pride, as this was Americans fighting back. It may be futile, it may be for nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I was happy to see people actually do something like this for their country and the ideas its built upon.
What happened today is something that, quite frankly, needs to happen, and needed to happen for a while now. Our government and politicians have failed to represent us for many years, it was only a matter of time before people pushed back. Politicians need a reminder of who is actually in charge of this country.
Maybe I'm being hopeful. Maybe the adrenaline of today is still kicking in my veins. But honestly, at the end of the day, I am proud that there are still people left who aren't afraid to stand up, even if there aren't enough, there are still those who care about the country I've called home my whole life.
I think it was the start of something much worse both in the sense that they rammed biden through and that, well, after they murdered that peaceful protester shit's just going to escalate.
But i'm also at the point that, hey, the left's been radicalizing, its nice that the right found their spine it seems, this shit wasn't ever going to end peacefully, i think its going to come to a head a lot sooner now, and yesterday is going to look tame in comparison.
I just want shit to return to normal, i'd have liked trump, but i can damn well tell you the left won't play nice with the house, senate, and the fucking presidency, both elections looked shady as all hell to boot and everybody outright refused to look at evidence, i don't know what they expect 3/4 of the country to do when they think that their voices aren't being heard and are instead told to fucking cope.
I hate all of this but i'm not shedding any tears for the left for whatever comes from that murder yesterday.
And people still think that oh, they were going to object! They would let the republicucks lay out their evidence! No they fucking wouldn't. They got a convenient excuse to back out, and one that doesn't even make sense, a fucking protest doesn't immediately invalidate the evidence of fraud, shame on those rat fucks for caving.
