Thanks for the extensive explanation. Once they had the core group of paid rioters going, many people joined in for fun. Not because they had strong feelings about anything. When I was a kid my friends and I would run and hide from the town cop at night, because we were bored and it was exciting. We weren't worried about getting shot (even though that was a possibility). I think it's the same for many who are assumed to be antifa. Just bored folks playing, without concern for the consequences.
You're right. We are most of the country. But they're doing a damn good job of convincing many people that we're the minority. They've even tricked some pedes. We need to keep the faith. We have them beat in numbers.
My stepdad(ex, Mom and he split ten years ago) liked President Trump. Supposedly planned to vote for him, even though Joel is a lifelong union member Democrat. Then the election came around and my mom told me he voted for Biden because, "Trump dropped the ball on Covid." (Joel's words). Mom didn't want to antagonize him about it, but I sure as Hell will the next time I see him. I gotta get some satisfaction outta this shit-show.
I have heard about all that, but I completely forgot until you reminded me. I'm not sure about a physical body moving through time(well, except for forward of course) but I'm open to the idea of your consciousness transferring back into your past body. It would probably seem like you just had a very vivid dream. But as events played out you would soon realize that you really had traveled back in time. And you knew of the coming disaster.
I try go think about stuff like that in the hope it'll prepare me for similar situations. But I do admit, my life is full of regret. It's fairly easy to put that aside when I can keep busy and accomplish things. Unfortunately the past two years have been tough. Feels like a complete waste. I won't stop trying to better my situation though. As far as the protests and Capitol occupation; you would have the same problems we had. There were people calling for those things, but most believed Trump had everything handled. "Follow the plan " completely neutralized us. How would you get people off their asses? In this scenario I'm imagining just your consciousness being sent back into your same body. So you wouldn't be able go bring documentation or other evidence from 2021. Just the knowledge in your head.
I did the Blazin Hot wing Challenge and they didn't even have my shirt size. And they refused to put my picture on the wall. Said it was "Inappropriate".
