Taking into consideration what I have seen in the military, I can only take these people seriously, because doing otherwise has horrific consequences.
I know what it's like when authoritarian governments take power.
And people like Pelosi think they can get away with anything they want.
The are blinded by power.
The nutcases we've seen on social-media (since the election was decided) is a direct reflection of the people they vote into office. They claimed to offer their voters hope and joy, yet all they have to offer us is blinding hatred.
Hatred of anyone who would vote for Trump caused Jan 6th.
Blinding hatred for people they despise with every fiber of their being.
People that hate that much cannot be trusted to run our government fairly.
