I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

#2 hit me differently just now.
It’s not just “stay calm,” tho we should.
It’s “I’m in the moment. What’s the best choice now?”
You can feel urgency w/o soul-draining terror.
And that realization is the root of resistance and change.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
