RIOT: Make America sane again

I was appalled by the many pictures and videos of Wednesday’s attack on the Capitol of the United States of America. The last such attack was by the British during the War of 1812.

I don’t see how anyone who calls themselves a patriot can condone the recent brazen acts of insurrection and yet some do. Those bearded white kids in stupid costumes along with a few good old boys who broke into the building were nothing less than domestic terrorists. How pathetic we Americans really are. How brainwashed so many of us really are.

I also don’t see how a sitting president could incite such brazen acts of insurrection. Trump did so and the record speaks for itself. His social media bans are long overdue.

The psychopath who hijacked the Republican Party and destroyed it has much to answer for. I anticipate many lawsuits once Trump is out of office. I hope all of you who are part of the Trump cult are ready for a big comedown. The cult is a personality cult. It is not a cult of ideas. You don’t have any. Your minds are controlled by the media, and I don’t mean the mainstream news channels that convey real news.

Happy New Year! It starts on Jan. 20 when Trump is out of office and a cadre of capable people will try to clean up the destruction of the Republic that Trump has undertaken. It is not about political parties anymore although the diehards are still among us. It is about making America sane again.
