RE: The Capitol Incident

in #ramblerant4 years ago

Nice message, but I fear that the people who need it most will never see it. They certainly don't want to be confronted with the reality that they don't have the moral high ground. What we are seeing is a dying political establishment lashing out with its death rattle (in some cases, quite literally) and its would-be subjects finally fighting back. When conversations end, battles begin, and the conversation ended long ago. QAnon now has the attention of the three-letter agencies, and "stop the steal" has been officially branded as a terrorist slogan. How much of the population will end up being persecuted under this diktat is anyone's guess, but it won't be a small portion. When the fossils currently in charge die off and the pendulum swings back the other way (speaking of which, I hate that analogy, and I would equate the political process with a rubber band instead), the US will probably return to its state in the 1950s, persecuting the left instead, for the first time in over half a century. Either way, nuance has already been defenestrated, and people in the middle will get burned then as now. Things will get worse before they get better, and I think I'd rather move back to Russia than try to wait this out.
