(Thank you to my wife for the title!)
On September 18, 2021, a protest was planned at Washington, D.C. It was to be in 'honor' of the people arrested at the violent insurrection 'rally' in the same location on January 6, 2021. When the Jan. 6 debacle happened, the Capitol was attacked, people damaged the building, rifled offices, and tried to find the Congress people and Senators within the building, with the intent (by some, if not most) to 'arrest', 'try' and possibly execute them. People were hurt, some killed, the police severely outnumbered, and the man who *could* have stopped it, sat back and watched it happen. In fact, he's been accused of inciting it, as well; claiming that the election that he lost, was 'fixed', and 'fake'. Because of his childish tantrum, people were killed and property damaged. And he did NOT care one bit.
At the rally on Sept. 18 (or protest, if you like), the police were ready. Fencing was in place, the police armed and ready. If things got out of hand, they were NOT going to be screwing around. If Fucking Around was going to happen, then the protestors were going to be the ones to Find Out.
And then..............nothing. Oh, they showed up. Somewhat. The numbers were WAY down from last time, and everyone behaved this time. Turned out, many decided to not come, as they thought (A) it was a trap, set up by the 'Gummint Machine!!!' to arrest them, or that (B) if any trouble *did* break out, they didn't want to be on the bad side of it. In fact, it almost seemed like the press outnumbered the attendees at some point. A whole big let down on their part, let me tell ya!
The one thing that annoyed me, though, was that people there were asked about the Jan. 6 event, and they were saying that it wasn't all that big, or violent, or bad. Even when shown clips of it, they still denied that it was as bad as it was. These people scare me, as they have no real basis in reality when it comes to others. If they were told 'It didn't happen', then it didn't. They are the same ones who think that a vaccine is NOT safe because "The science doesn't support it, and I'm doing my OWN research!", but they will willingly ingest horse de-wormer, because someone on the Internet said to do so.
Keep it up, 'Patriots'. One day, you'll be gone. And that'll show those Libs!
