I said something on the Thom Hartman FB page yesterday about feeling that the two party system wont give us change, and its a shame cuz nobody is willing to die for a revolution these days, but that's likely what it's gonna take to get real change.
A lady there FREAKED out - I got replies within one minute of posting my comment, filled with screaming all caps and angry emoticons and threatening to turn me in for 'sedition and treason' and I dont think she was talking about the FB police either.
I immediately deleted my comments and unfollowed the page and then shut my own page to anyone that isn't a friend.
Yes, it is about time. These weren't the right people, but they could be a component of a much larger group of the right people ranging fully across the political spectrum. The ruling elites have betrayed this country in profound and devastating ways over the past 40 years with policies like NAFTA and permanent normal trade relations with China. The latter policy is truly amazing. It's as if corporate America had decided to entrust the Soviet Union with manufacturing most of our goods when the USSR was still around. Or as if the US auto companies helped build up the industrial engine of Nazi regime in Germany. Oh wait. They did.
When thinking why people would storm the capital, the issue which makes it "right about time." Does this not matter, or is it just about storming the? Personally I think the question of "why" is important, and you seem to be entirely missing that.
You know, the "why." The ends you are seeking by storming the capital. If it is simply the means you think are most important, over whatever end, then no. I think that is worse than foolish.
A lot of what you write is right-on.... but playing Devil’s advocate for a moment or two.... isn’t it about time people stormed your Capitol...?
Maybe they weren’t the right ones to do it, but doesn’t it need storming ..? or at the very least shaking up....
As you yourself point out frequently your Government has been on a violently murderous,misguided bender for the past.... how many years ?
Teaching the rest of the world how to ....?what...?
Be demoncratic...?
Inventing a threat, and when the non-ixistent threat reacts...
“ there you are” they say,
“See, we told you they were dangerous “.
Careful! THEY are watching us.

Strange days indeed.
You should have given her your name and phone number and dared her to turn you in. That's what I do when people comment shit like that to me.
