I hope the crazies don't start acting out.

There is a MAGAT who lives in my neighborhood and spouts his views to whomever will listen. Yesterday I noticed he had a homemade cardboard sign trashing Biden in front of his residence. I'm sure he pays attention to the news, even though he gets a distorted version of it.

I hope this doesn't set him off. He doesn't seem quite right to begin with, so I hope he doesn't act out because of the indictment.

The prosecution of the 1/6 defendants provided an example of what can happen if they do some shit.

I live in ‘Cowboys for Trump’ Couy Griffin’s “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat” MAGA County. I’m a vocal, proud Democrat with multiple bumper stickers.

I’m not fearful but I will be more alert and cautious.

This will lead to violence. There's no question that that will happen. Possibly some of that violence will involve people losing their lives.

This is what happens in a democracy when some factions decide they want to hate democracy and throw tantrums when they lose.
