Hyper militarization of our public life feeds them. Sunlight, reason, and democracy is what they fear.

A fuckin men.

This is a small insurrection, not the end times, not the apocalypse, not the end of democracy.
We show up because strength lies in numbers in a democratic society, not in anarchy and not in bullets.

I think the times justify no events. Just a swearing in, in a guarded office with armed guards, and a video inaugural speech.
Not because of these dimestore cowboys. Because of COVID.

There may be a need for the cops to crack a few skulls and restore order. But there should be neither hiding nor regression to a police state. Standing up resolutely to disloyalty is THE most important part to restoring law and order.

This isn't the civil war. These marginalized ingrates are not the confederacy. We have to show these people we're not afraid.
