A Trump supporter who became known as the QAnon shaman after being pictured during riots at the US Capitol is reportedly a failed actor and conspiracy theorist described by his mothers neighbours as bizarre."
Jacob Angeli Chansley, 33, was charged with entering a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds after he participated in the mob that laid siege to the Capitol on Wednesday.
He was photographed wearing horns and carrying a spear while rioting in the Senate debating chamber and had painted his face with red, white and blue face paint.
According to the Daily Mail, Chansley has been living with his 56-year-old mother, Martha, since January 2019 after he was evicted from his apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, owing US$1,247 in rent arrears.

There was the Great Recession that hurt prospects as well as a COVID pandemic.
When it comes to the economy, millennials really have rotten luck.
Millennials never quite healed from the Great Recession, and the economic prosperity of their elders has largely been out of reach. Ever since millennials hit adulthood scarred by a flailing job market following the 2008 financial crisis and laden with record amounts of student debt the generation has struggled to accumulate wealth, start families and settle into their own homes.
Now, the generation faces a new challenge: a global pandemic thats upending the economy, just as millennials should be in the prime of their economic lives and as they represent the bulk of the U.S. workforce. And the pandemic isnt hitting everyone evenly, with millennials bearing the brunt of layoffs, having little equity in housing, and lacking robust savings and long-standing careers to fall back on.

There is also the skyrocketing costs of education and with Republican administrations an economy that mostly benefits the 1%.

(18,486 posts)A guy parading around bare-chested in bearskins, horns and warpaint, roaring like he's some kind of a fierce beast in the wild should be taking care of his mother, not the other way around.
He needs to be mocked.
And what's bring said about him here is pretty mild compared to what he'll face in a federal penitentiary where his tough guy act won't be met with laughter ...
