      on the one hand, thats awful

      but on the other, is anyone actually surprised?

      you dont storm a government building with zipties and guns to have brunch, and the cops have been very openly in support of those far-right folks for forever, because some of those that work forces yadayada

        Agreed. The capitol thing looks funny now due to how it turned out but it could really have turned out really bad.

          i mean, theres definitely meme potential in a lot of the wild and outlandish shit that happened.

          im genuinely surprised it turned out to not be really bad after i found out they busted in while politicians were in there.

          like... how do you successfully riot your way through congress and not guillotine someone? wtf?

      Was she in actual danger or was this some chud on a stream saying “imma assassinate AOC while I’m here lol!” to their five followers?

        It sounds like it was a direct confrontation of some sort. We know that chuds can be full of hot air, but I get the feeling there is more to it than that from what I've been seeing. We've seen them froth over her and Ilhan being "literal communists" or whatever (not to mention other Dems) so I really think there was a significant chance of her being harmed.

        Also saw on twitter that she said that she didn't want to go to the main saferoom with her colleagues out of a genuine (and founded) fear that they might let her location slip to the chuds.
