#82I am shocked and horrified that it is taking so long to clear those who have breached the Capitol. There is more police efficiency and aggression in a run of the mill BLM protest. Edit: for example: https://twitter.com/RedR1dngHood/status/1346908557560537091
What police efficiency during BLM protests? I have seen so many videos of looting and disorder that’s enough for a couple of years for Russia and China to use in propaganda to justify their police state.
They fenced off the entire white house property and brutalized anyone who tried to cross the fence during BLM. These people apparently can just walk right in without even a bit of tear gas.

I think the people there are looking for a grand narrative with the feeling of a struggle between two sides. My guess is that Washington is attempting to avoid creating that environment to minimize conflict. That's why we see the burglars strolling like tourists guided by red velvet. [1]
As a disclaimer, I'm not American, so take my feelings with a grain of salt.

#84How did we arrive to this point where a huge chunk of the population is in one reality and another huge chunk of the population is in another reality? Segregation of information sources? Politicization of media outlets? Self-reinforcing social bubbles? A combination of all of them and more?
Nobody trusts the media. So people will believe what they want. There’s no source of truth

#85I think it’s important to remember that these are not “protestors”. They are opportunistic rioters that are co-opting a legitimate movement as an excuse to behave like animals.
co-opting...right

#86Where's the tear gas and rubber bullets? Where is the national guard? There was more police response for a fscking photo op!

They broke the windows of the capitol to enter it, and still made it all the way inside and are still roving.

what legitimate movement?
The movement to ensure accuracy in our electoral system, regardless of who that would favor as a result.
