How many Republican officials warned us?
How many said, no, don't take those panic buttons, don't let them bring flag poles. How many leapt to stop the man wielding a fire extinguisher?
Did they say, "Wait, these people are innocent who disagree with us?"
Did they stop for a moment and say, "Dude, don't be spreading poo, this is the heart of America. We respect monuments and traditions."?
Did they stop the fellow carrying the podium?
How many of the off duty officers and retired military men stopped and said, "I will not stand for this shameful behavior!"?
Truth is simple. If you follow a man who puts children in cages, you are not a good person. It is easy to find a sociopath, they are the one that walk by with the mask off or under their nose. These folk need guidance to be good. If you have ever known a sociopath, they usually want to fit in and seek guidance on how to be decent. A lot of them will die for a cause after it is explained to them but they need to be guided or they will get into trouble and do harm.
Republicans, are, pretty much proven by evidence to be misguided sociopaths. With guidance they can be good, responsible pillars of society. With Fox News and other pro terror organizations, the good gets washed out by darkness. Without guidance, sociopaths go wrong.
