We looked through hours of footage from the Capitol riot to decode the symbols that Trump supporters brought with them, revealing some ongoing threats to US democracy. �
The stuff I've heard in the last 72 hours—from members of Congress, law enforcement friends, gun shop owners, MAGA devotees—is absolutely chilling.
We need to brace for a wave of violence in this country. Not just over the next couple of weeks, but over the next couple of years.
I led over 100 combat missions in Iraq & Afghanistan. Combat exposure is a trauma; it affects everyone differently. If you were a Member, staff, or officer in the Capitol Wed, don't suppress post-traumatic feelings & fears. Seek help. I'm available to anyone who wants to talk.
The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.
@MikeLevin Leave it be, let him sulk in a corner. It’s 14 days, stop poking his idiot base & just let Biden take power, then go after Trump in court & press any charges allowed for his actions from the past decade.
@MeghanMcCain Bc too many in the capital knew it was coming & wanted to see it succeed, thinking it would delay the outcome of the ec vote count & give Trump time to win in court.
@WalshFreedom I’m in the middle of Trump country, & heard repeatedly it was antifa & blm in disguise, it was fake videos the msm created, & from a few, they got what they asked for. Most all said Trump was trying to calm people & have peace, and not one blamed Trump or them self.
