Right wingers are already reframing the event with whataboutism on BLM and Antifa and are screaming 1984 at Trump being censored on social media. They see it as a massive victory while libs cry over institutions being wrecked or whatever and fawn over Pence and McConnell for not supporting an insurrection that would fuck up a system they benefit from. My own lib friends are convinced that it was only due to lack of police that it got that far but refuse to acknowledge that cops were probably helping them. Every time I say that I get called an alarmist but fuck it, this is probably gonna be the norm from now on.

    Yesterday morning I listened to NPR on the way to work (lib, ik), they were talking about the NG and capital police were working together to contain this rally. How the hell can you fail this hard without wanting it. Idk if yall heard, but apparently it was antifa yesterday who stormed the Capitol......💩
