You know what every fascist dictator does before fully consolidating power after a coup? Militarizes the nation’s capital.
Shout out to @jolly_good_ginger and all the honored veterans holding the line at Union Station.
And to the Guard deployed: remember your oath is to the Constitution, not to one man.

I have been involved in physical violence, up close and personal. I am a liberal who is armed and knows full well the consequences of using a gun. I have thought much on this, have PTSD from that day. I flinch when I so much as see a still image of that day. I cannot look.
When I explained to my Filipino wife what happened, I was snotting and screaming and raging. I was afraid she would be afraid of me, leave me. I have snotted and screamed and raged since 01/06.
If I had my druthers, I would line every, single, one of those traitors up, zip tied on their knees, and I would use my personal Colt .45 to blow every brain pan out of every skull. I am well aware I would no longer be human after doing so. I would give up my humanity.
Think I'm emotional right now? Think I haven't thought this through? I watched. I watched every second of that day on CNN. I watched everything I ever believed about America die. I watched my country fall.
No amount of vengeance will slake my thirst.
