If you got 30 minutes or so here is a very well done report and analysis of the mobbing of our Capitol Building from a New York Times podcast, The Daily. Spoiler alert it was not spontaneous. They warn you and I will too, there is strong language in the podcast.
The other mind blowing thing I came across today was a poll by YouGov as reported in Newsweek.
45 Percent of Republican Voters Support Storming of Capitol Building: Poll
I have almost never agreed with Republicans, but I used to respect them even with their differing opinions. That is not so anymore. We need to get back to teaching Civics and History. Hell we need to get back to teaching manners.
Just as aside, surely it is just not me? When I look at the Proud Boys and other MAGA mobsters in their paramilitary (and worse) grab with their phallic symbols dangling over their shoulders, I am reminded of a bunch of 12 year old boys playing army in an empty lot. Time for the Lost Boys to grow up.
And so it goes.
Keep well.
