Their businesses and freedoms depend on democracy and turns out, when it gets right down to it, they don't want us to be a country of oligarchs beholden absolutely to a bungling, power-obsessed dimwit and his sycophants.? Unfortunately, he has coalesced, groomed and mobilized an army of white supremacists and subservient fatalists and they love each other.?

Yes, I can be optimistic at times, overly perhaps. But, I do think that these idiots who stormed the Capital in all their testosterone rage and self righteousness are cowards and confused. They are the herd animals, the ignorant mob, the ones to grab the pitchforks and nooses first because, golly gosh, they were getting pretty bored in Podunksville and have been spending too much time on crummy internet sites allowing themselves to get all het up. I will be very interested to see how many bail on the upcoming insurrections at "all 50 state capital buildings" in the next week now that the FBI is starting to scare the shit out of them. 10 years in jail is no laughing matter and loss of jobs, the stripping of Olympic medals for one 6'4" Einstein who went maskless wearing his Olympic jacket and the outing of various mommy's boys and ex-husbands is sure to dampen some spirits. They had their moment of fame and ignominious glory and will eventually fade back into the morass they emerged from to foment for another day. That is not to say that some will not shed blood in the coming months. There will be deaths and fear and threats yet. In the meantime, trump is in a world of hurt and I'm loving every goddam minute of it.
