UK pede here.

First of all, I would like to praise those who took part in the occupation of the Capitol. Those people conducted themselves in the best traditions of Americas founders.

So, your government and institutions are totally corrupt. Welcome to the UK after the Brexit vote, only on a larger scale.

What do I mean by this? After we voted to leave the EU, almost every swamp creature came crawling out to deny the will of the people. Media organisations were bringing out Tony fucking Blair to inform the ignorant masses. You're watching powerless as every institution designed to protect you from the Government has been subverted against you. Your politicians - even ones who seemed decent - are sitting around telling bold-faced lies.

Some of you are hanging on to Lin Woods tweets/parler posts, hoping that Trump declassifies, invokes the insurrection act or reveals hereto undisclosed evidence which results in mass arrests of government officials. Maybe Trump has some cards left to play. But are you going to sit around and hope that everything falls into your lap?

Regardless of what happens now, nothing will be the same. The broadest extent of the Swamp has been revealed, as it was here in the UK. You, and millions of Americans like you, have seen the Judiciary, Federal Government, State Governments, Intelligence Services, Media, Big Tech and China all working together. In this situation, you may wish to unsee everything. What's the point of knowing if you can do nothing? Once you have seen, you can never go back. None of you can. If nothing else, that proverbial Rubicon at least has been crossed.

You have 80 million disenfranchised voters to appeal to. Build a new Party. Build a new America.

God be with you.

Luckily our intelligence services aren't nearly as powerful as ones in the US. Still corrupt, though.

Thanks UK Pede. Most of us are not giving up and remain optimistic for the next 13 days.
