Today is a dark day in American history. Armed insurrectionists have stormed Capitol Hill in an attempt to violently prevent the official certification of President-Elect Biden's election. Donald Trump has incited these actions by refusing to concede and attempting to steal the election, even at this late date.
Members of Congress, all of them Republicans, tried and tried again to prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. They have cloaked themselves in the flag, metaphorically speaking, claiming to be acting in the interests of everyone who voted for Donald Trump back in November of last year.
And now, someone has paid the ultimate price for these acts of sedition and insurrection.
“Yes, the adult female that was shot inside of the Capitol was pronounced at an area hospital," per a statement by spokesperson Dustin Sternbeck of the Metropolitan Police Department.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you voted for Donald Trump in 2016, in 2020, or both times, this is on you. You put him in the Oval Office. You stood beside him for whatever sick and twisted reasons you had.
This is my prediction: that Donald Trump will not go peacefully. That he will need to be forcibly removed from the White House after Joe Biden is sworn in as our next president. He may even attempt to declare martial law to remain in power.
The really sad part is that so many of you are perfectly comfortable with that. Your hatred of whatever group you can't stand (LBGTQ, people of color, or whomever else) is so deep, and so ingrained that you will gladly trade our freedom to get more of what the last four years has brought us.
May whatever god you worship have mercy on your soul for your actions.
