A little bit dated. The troop level has been upped to 25,000. And there's still 5 days to go.

It shows how law enforcement and the president reacted to BLM protests, vs how warmly welcomed the capital insurrectionists were.

The image is from Trump's America. The red-hats are the new brown shirts.
You've already lost the OP.

Yep, much better. And much more truth!

In fact, that scene is going to become etched in everyone's brain because you will be seeing it all the time. Just as you will be seeing tanks and armored vehicles around federal and other government buildings, a dozen different kinds of police constantly walking the streets, and frequent chaos. I saw this all first hand many years ago in Peru. Now I get to see it again here. I never would have guessed that in a million years back in 2001. How quickly things can go to hell.

Or you have a want to be dictator who fabricated a story about election fraud, then instigated an attack on the capitol to try and overturn a democratic election because he's facing criminal charges when he leaves office, and it's logical to have protection against a person as unhinged as that.

More words of wisdom.

If Big Tech can be this effective at neutralizing conservative speech in a short amount of time...

how come they don't do this against child porn and sex trafficking?

If you see either of those things on social media, I strongly recommend you report it to the authorities at once.
