LOL, it's a format alright....
Fun question, speaking of all things internet - now that they've had randos wandering around in the seat of power, how much is it going to cost us to check everything for any foreign device?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Where is the outrage that an unarmed protestor was shot dead by capitol police?

There, I said it, now let the condemnation begin. I say this because I know all of those people. I live beside them, I work with them, I played trivia at a local pub last night with them. I was invited to a "Stop the steal" rally on a mass email yesterday, which I replied to by saying that I was celebrating Joe Biden's win and the response was a curt, "sorry to hear that". They can be great people, but in this case they have become so infatuated by one man that they have lost all perspective. I just don't know how to communicate political issues with them anymore. On every issue they are to the far extreme, as in zero gun regulation, absolutely no abortions, religion should get anything it wants, reduce taxes to near zero...etc. Just no compromise. But as I said, they work very hard, they are very reliable, they'll loan you their truck if you're in a bind, they'll help you fix your fence. I can't claim they are bad people. Something in their mind has just broken. You won't get skewered by me. OFC they're nice hardworking reliable law abiding white supremacists who've turned to insurgency. The guys we've been rooting out of caves and up from under rocks all over the world are exactly the same. Borrowing trucks and fixing fences is something that -everyone- does..everywhere. They aren't bad people, and I'd go so far as to say that there's nothing even remotely broken in them. This isn't a disease, it's an intentional act.

There were people at the attempted coup who were only there to peacefully air grievances and watch their hero perform. Just like most people at BLM protests were only speaking out against cops murdering black people. I think protesting murder is monumentally more important than rubbing salve on a power-mad narcissist's wounded pride.
Broken, angry people will continue to do violence for whatever cause is convenient. I can't help but wonder, after the failure of the Real Steal, what rough beast, its sins forgiven, rolls toward Oklahoma City to go boom.

It's a bit of american mythmaking that they're weren't already thinking that then.

Plenty of it, just not the kind you can work with, I guess. : shrugs :
Welp, the numbers are even worse. There have been about 70 arrests....but only one of them was for the attack. https://www.npr.org/sections/congress-el...-s-capitol That poor fucker is going to have alot to answer for by himself - and I want to point out that one of the people who absolutely knew that this wouldn't work was the same person who exhorted them to do it. Howsabout that for victimization by the state? They finally made their complaints come true!
