During primary voting, I had someone near my polling place want to talk to me about a local MAGA candidate. Told them I didn’t want to waste their time as I wouldn’t vote for them. They pushed and asked why, so I gave a pretty direct response: Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy and after January 6th, I would never vote for any candidate that supported him. They moved along after that.
I honestly have no idea how someone’s mind can become so twisted that they can minimize or deny what happened that day. It’s even more baffling that they have shut off critical thinking for Donald Trump of all people. I understand it’s due to social media/feedback loops/blah blah. But it is still completely unbelievable.

What are the plastic bag looking things that a lot of them seem to be holding?

I see Representative Jason Crow (D), trying to comfort a lady on the floor. Great rep for his people. Crow is a former Army Ranger. He served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the 82nd Airborne Division and 75th Ranger Regiment. Crow took part in the Battle of Samawah) in 2003 as a platoon leader in the 82nd Airborne Division; he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.
That cool calmness he is displaying in the photo is the result of his military training.
