Four Dead After Trump Supporters Ransack Congress - What Happens Next?
With a loss of confidence, a lack of trust in the system, and an angry mob mentality, what does it take for a Trump supporter to do something like ransack Congress? It takes something like sucker-punching a liberal reporter at a demonstration to bring about a major scandal. Or, it could be a bunch of kids with baseball bats rampaging through the streets in a riot attempt to get even with the new President.
So, how did this happen? Well, it appears that some Trump supporters went to a congressional hearing hoping to discredit the new President, and they were met with an organized and highly motivated group of left-wing protesters. Some even started chanting, "Don't shoot" - which is when a lot of people, including the press, lost their calm. This isn't the first time that a President has faced a mass protest - but it sure felt different to me. What started off as a small gathering of a few dozen people quickly grew into a mob of hundreds or even thousands of folks, and it was all done in a matter of minutes.
When things became heated between the two groups - the liberal reporters and the anti-trump protesters - a security guard tried to keep the peace by asking both sides to remain calm. He was met with boos and whistles of derision from all sides. The security guard then asked for the Secret Service to escort out the two groups as the angry crowds turned on each other. Finally, a police officer was called in and the two sides dispersed.
So, now that this has happened - who are the next politicians to die in a political ransacking? Well, the list is not short, and it just got longer. Two politicians who are synonymous with gridlock in Washington, Harry Reid and Harry Brewster, have both been murdered in the political rage over the recent election. Also on the list is former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who lost her bid for vice president to John McCain. Then there's Rep. Jo Ann Simmons, who is losing her seat in Congress to a woman who challenged her for the Senate seat. There's Rep. Allen West, who lost his race to Democratic nominee Rep. Jamesarding (R-FL) in the last election, while state Sen. Gary Johnson is fighting to win his party's nomination for governor of New Mexico.
There are many others who will die soon too, including Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Sam Brownback (R KS), John McCain (R-AZ), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Joe Biden (D-DE) and many more. These are just the latest casualties of a fight that began when a few Trump supporters confronted and attacked the civil rights of a peaceful group of protesters. Many other politicians have faced similar furies over the course of this bitter political season. No one has yet to die in a Republican-led congressional ransack of Congress - or Senate Democrats. But it's only a matter of time.
Indeed, we've seen this with regard to Planned Parenthood in the recent years. But there's nothing new here. This isn't even new to the Tea Party either. They've been trying to gut healthcare reform since 2021.
It's hard to say how any one of these politicians will die - none of them have said so publicly. But there's no question that their deaths will have dramatic effects on their political futures. And we know how important those leaders are to the United States. If any of them die - or get seriously ill, then we will see the change immediately - hopefully for the better.
The question is: Will this change be for the better, or worse? If the answer is no, then it's difficult to see how any of this will improve our country's dire circumstances. Meanwhile, if something positive happens, as some of us are saying right now, then all of this is worth watching. Please consider all this.
