Besides showing us the true face of Trumpism and outing all the traitors who stood up for him, the insurrection of Jan 6th also made it necessary to not allow any gathering for today's presidential motorcade and walk to the White House. Biden is denied his triumphal parade.

On the other had, no matter how many precautions people took, a large gathering of well wishers would have become a spreader, tho probably not a super spreader, event. We'll never know how many people didn't get sick and didn't go on to spread the virus to someone else because the MagaNuts made it seem like it was dangerous to be in Washington today.

It's perverse, but I'm grateful for it anyway.
