President Trump did not order violence.
If we're being honest, there wasn't a lot of violence in DC today. Outside of the cops shooting an unarmed woman.
That said, the internet is absolutely glowing right now with people that want us gone, and we'd rather not let them achieve that.
We can celebrate/condemn/discuss what has happened today, but this isn't the place to be organizing, or calling directly for, violence of any sort. Places to do that are easy to find.
I know this isn't what you want to hear. If I'm being honest it's not exactly what I want to say, but we're at a crossroads where we either continue to follow the President's lead, as we have always done - or we decide we know best. If you remember Alabama, that didn't work so well last time.
Something big did happen today. A very small group of people made a very large message. Today was a good reminder to our leaders, and to us.
It isn't the end, it's the beginning.
Awomen.
I knew this whole situation would drive a wedge in between our community. Of course I'm disappointed in the results of the election and what we've seen today.
Idk why anyone is surprised, protests don't fucking do anything. Riots don't do anything. BLM showed they had their tantrums and fizzled out, and nothing changed-- and THAT was WITH media backing.
Violence certainly won't solve anything either, unless you're talking about a full on war, which is crazy talk.
Lastly, as much as I like Trump, I can't help but be disappointed in him letting it go this far. He had power for 4 years, why didn't he ensure the election would be secure?
