1/ Yesterday, I observed a neighbor replace his Trump flag with an American flag.
I hope that was a sign of things to come.
Wednesday was a national embarrassment. The House chamber barricaded & guns drawn will forever be remembered as a stain on our country.

2/ No one man should be idolized. If you find yourself flying a man's flag, figuratively in your heart or literally on your flagpole, I humbly ask to reflect.
3/ I am cautiously optimistic that history will mark Wednesday as the death of cultism, extreme partisanship, & disinformation on both sides because it was so unbelievable.
4/ The huge hurdle we have though is disinformation spreads faster than truth. Worse, politicians & "news sites" now realize they can benefit with disinformation & are never held accountable for being wrong.
5/ An example is if you have had any question about who would be the next President in the past two months, you have been misled. The question is not, "How did it still happen?" Rather, it is, "Who misled me, why, & how will it/they be held accountable?"
6/ Disinformation will always win if we allow it. Politicians will benefit if we allow it. Congressman Gaetz immediately spread the Antifa disinformation. His post has been shared over 10,000 times. His claim & source were disproven. However, no retraction, no accountability.
7/ I'm humbly just one man but my advice: Support people trying to instill trust into society. Condemn those who are spreading misinformation.
