Love how they claim to “back the blue” except, you know, when they were beating the Capitol Police with whatever weapons they could find and spraying them with bear spray.

Man came over to pick up a thing I put in Nextdoor.com. Said, "Hey I seen you on there, talking about 01/06. My brother's a cop."
He wasn't in my grill by any stretch, but his struck me as a bit adversarial. Impossible to relate in text, and it's been a couple of years.
"And those vile scum beat policemen with an American flag. 2 committed suicide directly after. FUCK those people." (Again, can't get it across in text.)
You could see the gears turning, thinking, "Well... yeah... fuck them!"
Anyway, the guy honestly gave it a thought, and I think he found a new take on the whole thing.
We parted very amiably, shook hands, all that. One of the rare times I think I gave someone a truly new perspective and the internalized it.
