Watching the news and thinking about the riot in DC (and a few before), we wondered on this blog what the social/economic pressures of the past years lockdown would have on the nation.
The blow up in DC might have been a HUGE part of that.
What is happening that I haven't covered on this blog? The governor of California is facing a recall attempt from citizens of his state.
The governor of New York is NOT welcome when the Bills play.
My own governor is going to a modified stage 2 instead of lockdown in part (I believe) because he faced a literal armed rebellion if he did.
The draconian attempts to slowdown the coronavirus while NOT providing relief to business owners and others that have been adversely affected I think played a role in this thing.
It's really hard for me to gauge because my job is unaffected. But what if it wasn't? What if I was hanging on by my nails and the new President was looking at reimposing all those harsh rules?
Is this an excuse?
Nope.
Not at all. I consider it a possible explanation. Understanding the "whys" of this thing could help put this country back together again. I truly believe that this thing was led by white supremacists, anti-govt types, a FEW antifa but was filled with a bunch of "every man" types that got swept up in the emotion of the mob.
I don't care about those people one bit.
I do care about my countrymen that feel the same but stayed home. Those are the people that we need to understand, work with and put this thing back right.
