Insurrection

Did you see it? Did you see the masses of bewildered red hats storming down the lawn and steps and alleys and doors and seats and great grand stoop that is the steps of the capital? Did you see the minds of thousands churning out a singular thought that there was no way that which they wanted could have ever not happened, and that if they just wanted to more than anyone else it would somehow become the reality that they were sure was the right now with every ounce of breath they had? Did you see what happens when entitlement eats the very system that has enabled it for so long from its very children that it has sought to shelter from fascism and fear their whole lives? Did you see the man in Native American headdress confusedly consider that he was defending the spirit of those that his ancestors ruined and continue to slowly exterminate, and somehow still he thought he was freeing everyone? Did you see the tactile vests and the prepared once, who were there for blood and glory? Did you see them all say they were fighting for democracy and when asked about what the constitution said look blankly and admit they did not know for they had not read it? Did you see when told that others had read it and that what they were doing was a crime, was treason, was wrong, did you see how they simply, ignorantly, smugly, said “I don’t think you actually read it, I don’t think you actually know.”? Did you see it, did you see what has centuries of unchecked and unpunished belligerence, racism, and enabling created? Did you see it?
