I put this on another site yesterday.


For 1 year, 7 months and 6 days I've declined to post on FB because, well... FB.
What's going on in D.C. is beyond Right and Wrong. What we're looking at is the inevitable.

Trump is not the source of this, but he represents an investment of the will and emotion of millions of persons who believe that the establishment's job description for them is to "cough up,shut up, and do as you're told."

It's amusing to hear R congressmen condemning the protestors, very much in contrast to the responses of dems of all stripes regarding, say, Kenosha, Seattle, Portland.
Kevin McCarthy 🌈 just said "he doesn't know who these people are..." which is symptomatic of Republicans, generally. Imagine democrats saying that. They at least pretend to know who protestors are on either side. "These people" are, or were, invisible.
At present, Madam Speaker and the D.C. Mayor are considering the National Guard. Well...howabout that... but wait, this past summer...

Trump has tweeted in favor of "law and order" (curious, somehow that one made it through) . In a few hours, possibly tomorrow, my guess (and my hope) is that he will rein this in---but not before the invisible people take on a more material form in the minds of legislators, bureaucrats and politicians of all stripes.
If there were confidence in the election process, the junk yard could be elected without protest. The remedies are commonsensical and simple. Qualified citizens voting and states following the law as Constitutionally mandated.

Whether now or years from now, something like this was going to happen. When FB, Google, Twitter cut off lines of communication, the invisible people become more and more frustrated. It isn't good, and I won't make a case that it's right.
We're witnessing an overplayed hand. Big Tech is awfully smart about a lot of things. They are not smart about everything. Big Tech, at some point, decided that users were to be used---with impunity. They decided what we could and could not say, and what we could see and hear. That was a mistake, unless you wanted hundreds of thousands to swarm to Capitol in frustration.

If you steamroll people, they're still going to leave a mess on the pavement.
