Astonishingly stupid. Trump also ensured he has no chance in 2024.
Some people got shot.
Some are reportedly dead.
MANY are now going to prison.
And Biden will now EASILY be sworn in as any resistance the gop had is now COMPLETELY GONE.
Republicans/conservatives will now be endlessly labeled terrorists on tv 24/7 for the next month.
LITERALLY NOTHING POSITIVE did or will come from this. Any goodwill the right had is now nonexistent.
And anyone on the right supporting this shit after years of denouncing it from the left has no credibility.
We will be lucky if we don't now get even more rights stripped from us as they strengthen the ******* patriot act.
And whomever killed that girl needs to join them in prison for murder.
I don't believe that's necessarily the case.
In an odd way, this incident has brought the left and the right closer to being on the same page. There's no shortage of Republicans who are damning the President for what happened. He incited the protesters and, while they shoulder the burden for the death and the damage, Trump has a lot to answer for, and both sides are demanding it.
While those on the fringes of each political ideology will certainly never "come around", those who aren't on the fringes are, I think, going to be more apt to try to work together than they will be to increase the divide.
The Capitol hasn't been under siege like that in 207 years. This was a wake up call for everyone, and I think that positive changes could easily be a result...
