If the J6ers had caught up with Mike Pence, Lynne Cheney, and Mitch McConnell, I genuinely wonder whether Trump would actually be in jail right now instead of cruising around the country soliciting more fascists to his cause.
I am grateful I didn’t see the National Guard mow down a bunch of civilians that day, but I also feel that the low loss of life is what has let a huge chunk of the population write off the events of that day as basically a “boys will be boys” moment, when it was really something Earth shattering in our country’s history.
Historians could very well one day mark it as a turning point in our nation’s history where we took a severe turn on the road to ruin. I really hope we can pull ourselves back, but since it seems to be a world wide trend, I have more anxiousness than I’d prefer.
The lack of action/inability to prosecute those found pulling the strings is what’s really frustrating. Sure, send the brainwashed people to jail, but those will just be replaced by the people behind the scenes…
This stuff started decades ago with all the people that felt Nixon did nothing wrong and have worked throughout the media, the courts, and the government itself to show that “government doesn’t work” to undermine the integrity of all these institutions and to get the people to support individuals rather than a collective.
They’ve poisoned our systems this whole time, and need to be rooted out if we want to continue being free.

Exactly, I should have been more clear on that.
