When I watch the insurrection at the US Capitol and watch my former Capitol Police colleagues try to handle what was happening—what was so clearly intended and called for—I’m struck by how entitled yet pathetic those people were. And still are. They think they are the Patriots.

This whole garbage of endless bragging about being the best most awesome country/people but also at the same time being the most picked on most victimized people ever is literally every theme on the grievance media and merchants. And man it’s EXACTLY the run up to the third Reich

Immigrants or Jews or any non-whites or working class or unions or feminists etc etc are The Other & they are to blame for your misfortune. Fox sells gold to poor people, medical scams to uninsured people, cyber security scams to offline people & on & on. It’s all a fear grift

You know what the best disaster/doomsday prep there is? Being a decent neighbor. And then doing it again tomorrow. Stop being so afraid
