All of us are not tuned in to conservative news or its providers, Rick. We aren't as much tuned in to liberal news or its providers either.

I watched the insurrection. I laughed and laughed. It happened on my birthday.

One of my neighbors out in the swamp was a rich Trumpy QAnon weirdo. He told me sh*t was gonna go down on the 6th. Biden and Harris, Hillary Clinton, and many others would be arrested and I guess charged with the massive voter fraud that they were all sure occurred.

Every conservative in America seemed to know about it, the fist pumpers in Congress included. It was gonna be a really big deal and nationally televised.

The rally attendees a few blocks away knew about it...some came prepared to be a part of it...and when he told them to march to the Capitol and fight, those idiots thought they were "taking back their country" and that Trump would be taking care of arresting Biden and Clinton, et al.

It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life. The most jaw-droppingly stupid attempt to steal an election that has ever occurred. And the most unlikely to succeed.

The surprising thing to me is that no one told the Capitol Police and that no one was prepared for a riot. But no one ever took those QAnon predictions seriously...

The rioters themselves were quickly taken to task for their crimes. Some have admitted their stupidity and that they were duped into believing a lie. Others continue to live in a Trump fantasy world.

Now some higher up heads are gonna roll. All of them were fools, doing the bidding of a madman. They deserve to go to jail just like the rioters.

Unlike some of you, I have absolute faith in American democracy.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
