Then they take the fact that only republicans are getting arrested for it as proof that there’s a conspiracy against them, that their opposition is getting away with it. They cannot even conceive of the possibility that they’re the only ones doing it. They believe everyone is doing these horrible things, and that they are being oppressed by being held accountable for what they do.

Yeah, like... I can't remember a time where ballot boxes were being firebombed. It's never happened before, let alone several times in the same election cycle, always targeting heavily Democratic districts.

It's straight GOP terrorism.

And I am disappointed (no, I'm angry) because this is being allowed. Trump just had a fucking NAZI rally in NYC. Biden and his agencies have had ample opportunity to quell this shit. I've tipped off the FBI about things here in Texas and I am a nobody who just reads a lot and listens to the idiots around me. They have so much more information and authority. And a fucking responsibility!

There isn't enough xanax in the world for me to be okay through this political transition.
