(28,347 posts)I was in horror, and disbelief while watching this live. I could not believe that law reinforcements didn't arrive to help and stop these people.
I'm an old lady in Northern Michigan and I cannot find the words of how I felt that afternoon, and how I feel today. But I felt violated as my Capitol dome was taken over by people who believed in the lies spewed by Donald and his enablers. At that time, I had no idea that it was far, far worse and far, far more violent than what I watched on TV that day. Learning all this has literally made me sicker.
I know i am not alone.
I want answers. I want punishment. As an American citizen I cannot rest until I find some sort of action is taken. I deserve that.
I love my country. America is not perfect, but it is worthy of respect, and honesty. I hate the thought that so many people are being led by the nose by a lying madman egged on by those with money, and enabled by the gullible to destroy my (our) America. The United Stares of America that is the very best created since the beginning of time. The beginning of when this earth was formed. I realize I'm sounding melodramatic, but I do believe it, and I can't find the words to truly articulate it all.
I watched this video, and I want no more lies, or excuses. I'm afraid of losing my (our) America. But these assholes are set to destroy it.
I want to kick some asses, dammit! Kicked right into a jail cell.
