Problem with screenshots is it says the relative time, could be weeks ago, and it could be fake altogether. Archive twitter link somehow would be ideal. Until then, twitter sucks, but if you're going to reference a tweet, link or it didn't happen.
People drive themselves insane by not being able to honestly acknowledge conflicting points that can both be true. Was it a good thing that citizens made their presence known and freaked out congress? Yeah, in a way. Did anything good happen?

In hindsight it's always a bad idea, but in the moment there are only bad ideas to choose from.
Trump's communication was abhorrent. Nobody knew what they were supposed to do there or for how long, but Trump made it seem really important that they put pressure on congress or something, and then congress started certifying the nonsense and freaked them out.

I thought this was priority one in 2017. Then in 2018 when Alex Jones got banned everywhere, it became priority one++. Nothing was done.

But acknowledging how things look is at least a good starting point.
This is the way
