It's nuts how angry Republicans get at scenes like this, when January 6th happened and they are fine with how everything turned out.

At first it was "BLM" in disguise at the capital... Then the evidence was overwhelming that it was just violent Trump fans. Then Trump pardoned every single one of them.

They were way, way more violent than what we're seeing here, too. I'm sure we've all seen those videos.

Oh, my dad will hear about it through his friends and talk radio. He will internalize that we need to die for it.

Then later on he’ll express that he hopes they don’t fell the remaining old growth trees in the local park. The MAGA workers there hate the leaf cleanup that they unnecessarily do. They have felled many old growth hardwood trees with disdain. Then I have to explain to him again that the primary group of people who want to preserve those trees are going to be killed by him and people like him.

No Dad, you won’t have nice things. You dumb shit!
