January 6th
I remember hundreds of thousands of people protesting election fraud last January 6th. They listened to President Trump’s speech telling them to be peaceful, and then started the hour-long march to the capitol. But Bad Actors had already come to the capitol prepared to do violence. They attacked the police during his speech, and managed to break into the capitol. Some of the crowd followed them in. Others were invited into the capitol when the police opened the doors and ushered them in. In part of the capitol, people were violently beating on doors, in another part they were calmly walking between rope lines and taking pictures, and elsewhere weird buffalo shaman dudes marched with TV camera crews recording every moment. Most of the crowd outside had no idea anything odd was going on. While protestors were dying not far away. It was a truly surreal day.
