who stormed the capitol in Michigan to protest Governor Whitmer's Covid rules.

Remember the guys with their long guns in the rotunda? The police just stood there.

That was really disgusting seeing them scream in the officers faces and the officers did nothing.

I was watching the footage on the news with my partner. I told him "Imagine the police's reaction if all the protesters had been black or Muslim. It would have been a bloodbath".

Doesn't seem very representative of the American public. Thank gawd!

And yet their "representatives" in congress (other than gym-asst Jordan) like to coif their hair and wear conservative suits.

My blue area is surrounded by counties chock full of these unreconstructed, Confederate Covidiots. There are also contingents of Boogaloo boys, who drove in from their rural and exurban areas to terrorize our town during last summer’s BLM protests.

KKKEMP sent state police forces to occupy our downtown and to help the local police tear gas peaceful protestors (kids, young people and one county commissioner included), but the same armed police and guard forces didn’t stop the armed, Boogaloo, insurgents from terrorizing our citizens who were downtown that day.

Add in the fact that these people are most likely unvaccinated and spreading the COVID19 virus and its variants, and I hate them even more.

Alll different nationalities and religions. We had a block party once and was amazed at the diversity. There is white one guy on our block who I suspect is a orange maggot supporter but he keeps quiet about it.

Biden campaigned on this. Trump's campaign was woefully out of touch with how much browner/blacker the suburbs have gotten as cities have gentrified over the years. It's cheaper to live in the suburbs of some cities and you get more space. Plus many jobs are in the suburbs nowadays.

I hope I'm wrong about this - but we shouldn't be surprised to see things like hostage standoffs and such by next year.

The GOP far right, as you know, is going down a very dangerous hole of self-delusion - plus violent rage at seeing their delusions fritter and die.

Like a really bratty child who can't get the toy or sugary treat they want - but with assault weapons (and in some cases, training).
