5-Year Anniversary Of Jan. 6 Attack On Capitol

@SchoolBelle least we forget

@SchoolBelle what do you think we learned? My opinion, just the opposite.

@samueltyler2 Well, it seems you didn't learn to recognise irony.

@markinkansas Oh but we did!

@SchoolBelle i dont know your humor well enough.

@samueltyler2 Never mind. It is closer to despair than humour. Maybe that's the problem.

@SchoolBelle i am trying very hard not to slip into dispair and depression. I don't know which is worse being blind to the news or being upset by knowing it?

@samueltyler2 As the old saying doesn't go

You pays yer money, you gets no choice.

@SchoolBelle those people who voted for him, those who continue to enable him are evil!

@samueltyler2 blind to the news for you need to see the problem to be able to fix the problem .. be informed

@markinkansas what can i do? It is worse in some ways that i know but am powerless to do anything about it!

@samueltyler2 No, his voters are not evil - unless that is a quality you ascribe to those less educated or intelligent than you. And his backers are not evil, unless you think people who disagree with your view of the world are evil.

Give them that power and they will win. See them for what they are. Mobilise against them. Take back the battleground.

@SchoolBelle how do you define evil then? His voters, followers are not ignorant or unintelligent. They make day to day decisions that hurt others!

@samueltyler2 Every political decision has the power to hurt someone.

What are you saying?

They are evil! I can do nothing! It's not my fault!

@SchoolBelle yes not evil

@SchoolBelle you are talking to anti-trump haters, just shills

@idontcareok i am not a hater, i withold that term. I do disagree with many of trump's policies. It is January 6th 5 years after one of the most outrageous action of Trump and his followers. Calling me a trump hater, you are entitled to your opinion. History will be the judge.

@samueltyler2 be mindful .. know that it happened and vote.. when you let emotion run wild it means you will make mistakes . it takes time to do that . .. i am learning all the time

The mindful person is insightful and open-minded. They are able to see the world with great clarity, without attachment to preconceived ideas about people, places, and things. This enables them to observe the world without jumping to conclusions.

@markinkansas that is easy to say, but how can you not get emotional when you see what is happening around you. My primary care physician just told us that one of his patients had to give up his insurance, the physician decided to go on Medicare now, not wait, because the costs of insurance to him was too great, he pays 2/3 of the cost of his staff's insurance! The feds are changing the immunization practices that have saved millions of lives, am i not to get emotional?

@markinkansas @SchoolBelle least we forget

lest.

sorry. pet peeve

@samueltyler2 yes you can and do.. afterwords its time to clear the head . to go forward..

@SchoolBelle Alas, had we really learned our lesson, Trump would not be president, and with him the insurrectionists would still be in prison, not pardoned and out committing other crimes.

@bijouxbroussard I did rather hope people would realise I was being ironic.

@SchoolBelle No, I understood. I just hate that we didn’t learn our lesson as a country. 🥺
