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.

The thing is, in order to follow someone they have to take the lead.

He's just saying to go home, that's not leadership in this case and I'm pissed that the mods are letting this entire community down like this.

Can't call everyone doomers when it looks like everyone who actually stood up to fight gets turned on by our own side.

The facts are as follows. People stormed the capital, they were not prepared (armed) to utilize the situation. It turned out it was a feint to justify deploying the national guard and, in the near future, gun confiscations. The moment came to activate the Insurrection Act and instead Trump said to go home. We're now alone.
