I am sort of sorry to say that I never even realised how amazing the Capitol building complex was until now. I had never been to DC. I hope that we will still be allowed to visit it after this. But I still feel what you are feeling: grubby goateed goons – exactly. It really is something like holy ground that they desecrated.
One of the things that the woman talked about in the article and which I also observed is that there was a kind of "let's play revolution" attitude about them. It was a lack of seriousness or something. There is this funny video of one of the woman that I will try to post here that really expresses it well. The same thing happened in Berlin in August.
The reason I say this is not to minimise what happened, but to just point out that Trump really isn't Hitler and they are not really brown shirts. But how easy it is for them to get that far in their mindset, with so little to actually work from and so little to push them. Imagine someone like Trump who isn't such a buffoon coming down the lane and what could happen in that case.
We can only hope that this episode can somehow be a lesson, in the way that I was saying above to 13 that covid is a dry run. So people are prepared for the real thing. I don't know, I don't have much faith in people coming to their senses.
