297 find it in your heart to love haters

Ok, so here's the thing. We've got two teams here, the super rich, and everyone else.

Yes, the rabble that took over the capitol has ill-informed ideas about what caused their downward mobility. They've been fed the same racist patriotism as the rest of us, and bought it hook, line and sinker. And they're wrong.

But fighting over broken ideology isn't going to get us anywhere. That's what the people who are really enslaving us want. That's why a billionaire gets up on stage and shouts obscenities about "them."

What we really need to do is what Bernie and AOC have been reminding us. Acknowledge that we're all getting screwed by the same moneyed forces, and start there. Until we get that clarity, we're going to be arguing over the drapes while the house burns.

I took a lot more screencraps yesterday, there's a lot going on. The twitter ban, the plans for more "insurrection", the coded messages, the different types of haters, the guy who zapped himself in the nuts to death, all of it. But there's really only one thing *I* wanted to say, and that's what I said above. I condemn their ideas, their leadership, and even them, but I recognize human beings in revolt against a system of oppression, and I have common ground.

Also, apparently, even though Senator Turtle is dodging out on putting in a dagger by sending everyone home until the inauguration, dear leader can still be impeached after leaving office, and there are some upsides.
