Just saw an interview with Michael Fanone on TV. [View all]

I'm going to try to word this post carefully as to not break any rules.

He was asked by the interviewer, essentially, was Jan 6 the worst day of his life.

Fanone indicated it was not, and he indicated that subsequent events have been the worst days of his life.

Fanone said that while his mother was raking leaves at her home, someone drove up to her and threw a bag on shit of her.

This broke me, and made me realize something.

As a natural result of what Trump has unleashed, some fucking skulls are going to start getting cracked, and the skull-crackers are going to be people who were previously non-violent, and perhaps previously complete pacifists.

People can only take so much of this fucking nonsense.

And this is Trump's plan.

Societal upheaval.

Random violence.

Flood the zone with shit.

Civil war.

Destruction of our country from within.

I rarely personally have violent thoughts, but I did today.
