    My trap card has been activated. I play “Personal PTSD”.

    January, 6th 2021 was not fucking, “bare speculation that third parties might interact with the individuals President Trump comments on”.

    Through social media posts, he summoned up a goddamned army of lunatics to overthrow my goddamned country. They captured the Capitol of the United States of my fucking America. I’m so pissed off I could fucking choke.

    I watched 01/06 go down live on CNN, all fucking day. Anyone else? I can’t watch 60-seconds of those videos, not 60 damned seconds. The fear and anger and revulsion and hate and revenge lust, I can’t do it. Can anyone else? Now I truly know what “triggered” means.

    I’d comment more, but I can’t think straight, and the words “gallows and a mass grave for traitors” don’t generally get good reception.

    But seriously, his social media posts are harmless, just a man practicing free speech.

      Trump’s called those seditionists “hostages” in a speech the other day.

      EDIT: Also, January 6th was the day I quit my online gaming group. I just didn’t feel like having that sort of magical fantasy life when this shit was happening for a while. I regret it now, but the group broke up anyway (not because of me quitting).

      I was shocked that it happened, but I knew it wasn’t going to amount to anything. I’m actually surprised that only one of those fuckers got shot. What sickens me more is I’m probably distantly related to her (her last name is my mom’s maiden name).

      The punishment for treason is death.

      I still can’t understand how no one has been executed for their involvement in Jan 6.
