WTF is wrong with this country

Just one week ago a planned insurrection encouraged by a sitting president took place in our Nation's Capitol, and all the dumb shits on talk radio can do is complain about not being able to post their seditious hate crap on social media!

Well guess what seditionists, if you're going to use your lines of communication for war, don't be surprised if your lines of communication become a fair target.

Just needed to rant.

They've got tons of evidence. The ironic part is it's all been provided by the idiots themselves.

The sad thing is they've been deluded and brain washed to think they are patriots. They were taking those selfies as trophies!

They're Patriot Folks, who got to where they are by their own bootstraps, no assumed privilege, no networking with their peers, no assistance programs like "those people" need, right?
If they got in trouble in high school or college, it was all high spirits, they didn't mean no harm, they weren't thugs or criminals, like "those people". Cops won't look twice at them, unlike "those people".
They're good people, not degenerates; they're not like "those people". They were born into good families, so that means Gawd favored them.
They don't have to think about their future, only need to work hard enough to get what they want, and they're sure to get it.
Not like "those people". Those people think too much, they're "urban elites", they're too ambitious, they are selfish, angry, degenerates who want to take all the good stuff - the Sunshine and the Summer - away from all real Amurrikkkan Patriots.

Talk radio has demonized democrats and peddled racism and conspiracy for decades.

It’s about time there is push back. And as you say, declare yourself the enemy of the state and you should expect your lines of communication to be a target.

That said, I do worry the pendulum will swing too far. The actions taken over the past week are absolutely necessary but there’s a nagging voice in the back of my head that worries where we could be say five years from now.

Again, I agree with the actions over the past week.

But it looks like the tide is quickly turning against Trumpism. Way more of us that them and they are losing enough Republicans to quickly diminish their influence.

Trump’s world is quickly imploding. More mainstream Republicans are distancing themselves from him hourly.

It is looking good that he will be impeached which means he couldn’t even run for Dog Catcher if he wanted to. And he will be in serious legal jeopardy and may well go to Jail as a bankrupt loser.
