it was so obvious (to me, at any rate) that very bad things were going to happen on 1/6. for anyone on the left to have gone would have been like a declaration of war; war is exactly what it would have been. and one thing I was thinking on that day, as I watched in complete, fascinated horror was what I know pretty much everyone else was thinking: if these rioters were BLM, the ground would have been covered with dead bodies. staying away was the only sensible course of action. I have a friend who tells me he was planning to go down there because he claims it was going to be a protest against vaccination mandates, or something. or maybe he's just lying. god knows if I were in his position and wanted to keep returning to my home, I'd be saying the same thing. this mass stupidity still has the capacity to shock me.
