As we speak, federal agencies are cracking down on those who participated in the Capitol Hill siege, making sweeping arrests across the country and charging rioters and those who assaulted officers. I will explain everything you need to know about the legal and social implications for our country. After all, if the president can be completely de-personed and removed from the national conversation, while still in office, what does that mean for the rest of us?
I'm calling for a joint task force to be assembled and spend all the time and money necessary to identify every person who breached the security of the Capitol, who occupied the chambers, who invaded offices and destroyed property.
There's a ton of video evidence out there.
Trust me, in the social media world that exists today, it will be not, won't be that hard to find thousands of people who took the law in their own hands.
Now, I'm sure just like me, you are feeling the intense emotions over what happened last week and the consequences that are resulting.
Now, as we speak, federal agencies are cracking down on those who participated in the Capitol Hill siege.
They are making sweeping arrests around the country, even at airports, sometimes at people's houses or places of employment, charging the rioters and those who assaulted officers first, though I suspect that many hundreds more will find themselves in federal custody as secondary and tertiary sweeps take place for lesser crimes, just like breaking and entering, instead of the current charges, which are focusing on those who broke windows, stole property, and committed violent assaults.
Now, I'm going to explain everything that you need to know about the legal crackdown charges and implications for our country in a moment.
But it's not the legal prosecution that has most people in our country upset, because those that intentionally caused violence and destruction knew the risks that they were taking.
And that in a country of law and order, there will always be consequences for harmful actions.
And for that, the hand of the law will strike hard.
Most Americans, I would say, would even agree with the need to hold those accountable that broke the law inside the Capitol building through severe crimes.
But what we are worried about now is not the prosecution of criminals.
It is the widespread purge of any and all Trump-adjacent supporters from the town square conversation and in general in commerce.
This has America worried.
If they did not participate in the crimes, nor they might not even been present at DC itself.
But this tragic event that happened at our nation's capital, as many people waged what they believed was a revolution, many at which saw as a patriotic act, I, for instance, captured the people as they stormed it, calling and decrying 1776.
This event is now being used opportunistically, that is, not just to crack down on ardent and extreme supporters, but to crack down on any and all the left's political opposition in regular day-to-day life.
I will say this.
We warned you.
Just a few weeks ago, I made an episode warning the right wing, warning the centrists, even the libertarians that don't fall any really where in the spectrum, that they were being honeypotted into insurrection.
You might not know what honeypot means.
It means that it's been a trap, an attempt to get people to feel so isolated that they might strike back.
But why?
Because if they raised a hand of violence against the government, the left would welcome it.
I even said that.
The left would somehow allow an insurrection to occur and then would use it to not only crush those who were involved in the uprising, but against the entire mainstream right and any and all opposition that they wanted to see destroyed from the narrative.
Free speech social media platform Parlor is one of those targets as they are being deleted with along with hundreds of thousands of right-leaning accounts that have been purged online.
The president himself and elected officials been completely depersoned and removed from the national conversation while still in office.
I want you to let that sink in.
Our republic is no longer determined by the votes of the people, but by the unelected tech billionaires or oligarchs, technocrats, as some might call them, who have decided that they know what's best for you.
They know what's best for this entire country, and they don't need your vote to do it.
We are living in an unprecedented times, and I must say, with this channel being entirely demonetized due to dishonest council culture mobs, many of our social media being taken away and then restored.
And currently getting a fight for our advertisers, we are relying solely on you supporting us at blazetv.com slash slightly offensive to keep our content alive.
We are not surrendering to the mob who is trying to make every single person who supports the Constitution, freedom of speech, and of course the right to free press and assembly to be terrorists.
This is wrong, just like the actions of people who committed grievous crimes were wrong.
You do not punish the mainstream for the acts of a few.
We here do not support assaulting law enforcement officers, breaking federal property, and vandalizing offices.
These things are wrong.
But we will keep reporting and shedding light on people who do such things because it is important for the narrative of our country and the narrative to remain truthful that we capture what many will not.
It's coming at a great cost to myself and my family personally.
We are under very many death threats, personal attacks, financial hits, reputational defamation.
Every and every single person I know and I'm associated with is going into a point to where they are trying to take us down.
And we salute you guys for staying with us as we represent the truth.
We know that God is with us and who can be against us.
We're going to be talking about all this and a lot more coming up in this episode of Slightly Offensive, The Best Worst Show on Blaze TV with high resolution graphics.
You never thought you would see that happening with your favorite host, me, Elijah Schaefer.
I am back for a normal episode.
We're trying to give you guys more content.
And I know that intro is long, but it was deserving.
I do want to let you know, though, that as we move into the next era, financial markets are definitely in question.
And I want you to know that the average person has 97 points.
That's 97 points they can quickly add to their credit score.
Guys, this new sponsor called Scoremaster is incredible because if you're like me, you might be looking to buy a house.
You might be looking to refinance your student loans as I just did, but you don't know how to increase your credit score.
Well, Scoremaster credit scientists discovered an algorithm that super boosts credit scores, not just by a few points, but by 97 points first.
So if you had 97 points on top of your credit score, you can buy a car, apply that to your credit.
Say you have okay credit and you're buying a car.
If you do Scoremaster first and boost your score, the average is 61 points in 20 days or less, and you could save $9,000 on your car loan.

That's scoremaster.com slash offense to find out right now, link in the description, how you can raise your credit score.
This is important, guys.
And then we're going to talk about how vital other things that are happening in this nation as we jump into the crackdown.
We jump into arrests that are happening right now in this article from the Des Moines Register.
As we speak, many different arrests are taking place.
A Seattle man has been arrested for assaulting a federal law enforcement officer and entering the Capitol during a siege on the U.S. Capitol building Wednesday court documents show.
Doug Jensen, a 41-year-old Des Moines man who was photographed among the mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol, has been arrested and in custody in the Polk County Jail.
Sergeant Ryan Evans of the Polk County Sheriff's confirmed.
He was booked at 1 a.m.
FBI public affairs specialists said he was arrested by the FBI and he faces these five federal charges.
This is very, very, very important.
If you can go to my screen here real fast, I don't know what's happening there.
There you go.
All right.
There you go.
That's collar.
Good graphics.
He has these five charges, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disrupting the orderly conduct of government businesses, violent entry and disorderly conduct in the Capitol, creating and demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, and also obstructing law enforcement officers during civil disorder.
This is important because as we talk about this, I want to let you know that the crackdown has begun and the rests are happening.
There's over 80 people arrested as we speak.
I think it might be over 100 now, and they're looking at hundreds more.
They are categorizing these arrests and level of what they believe to be importance as they are overloaded with the amount of potential prosecutions.
At this moment, a lot of you guys have wondered if I myself am going to prison or jail.
From my understanding, most people who are operating in there, including almost every major outlet like the New York Times and AP News, nobody is being arrested that was operating and capturing this, though people who committed crimes are being arrested, and that includes those who disrupted.
This is important to realize that some of the most severe charges are being looked at first, but that doesn't mean that people are safe.
They're planning on possibly arresting anybody who just stepped foot in the ground.
I would not be surprised if everybody who is there, including press, are subpoenaed to some extent and are asked to give an account of what they saw, even if they're not charged.
Some of these lesser charges that they're getting are allowing them to be released.
I also want to let you know that this Des Moines man, this was the famous Q man who is out front.
And part of the reason why they found him here is because he, you know, he was wearing this freaking shirt.
I mean, he was wearing this shirt.
It's just insane.
He was very easily identifiable and he boasted about it on social media.
And a lot of people were boasting about committing crimes.
But I also want to bring this up too.
He's not the only person.
Let's go through some of these.
Oh, that's the same article.
Oh, yeah, there he is right there in front.
We also see this is his, this is his t-shirt, Doug Jensen.
He says, you like my shirt.
And he had a picture of himself wearing Q.
Now, a lot of people who thought they were doing nothing wrong, because many of which said that police officers let them into the building, which was corroborated by video evidence, they are still unlawfully entering and are therefore violating some sort of statutes and are going to receive penalties.
We just don't know if that's prison time, house arrest, fines, because a lot of them were released.
A lot of them were released without any bail.
So I don't know what that is, but we do know that a lot of people are saying that when Biden comes into power, he's going to be prosecuting these people to the full extent of the law in the new Federal Bureau of Investigations.
Well, guys, this is where we're going to get something very important.
I want to talk about this.
I want to get into this.
Let's look at this article here.
So prosecutors are weighing a heavy hammer.
They are possibly charging the rioters who were there, the self-described revolutionaries and patriots who were calling for 1776.
I won't back down on that claim.
They were actually calling for that.
Let's see if we can open this up in a better reader app here.
Federal prosecutors are filing charges against rioters who took part in last Wednesday's violent takeover after the Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, died from injuries.
And by the way, an officer was killed and this is terrible.
If you guys want to know what's happening, not only are people being arrested by the droves, but here's something very important.
One of the federal prosecutors talked about this thing called the Federal Murder Code, which has 11 underlying felonies, which can be a part of a felony murder charge listed.
So to put into perspective here, what they're saying is that because a federal officer died, if the FBI and prosecutors want, not only will you be faced with unlawful entry, rioting, and picketing, some lesser charges, but you could look at the storming of the doors of the Capitol.
It says in quotes here by the riotous mob as a burglary.
And if they went with the intent to steal, disrupt proceedings to commit other offenses, then they committed burglary, which many of them did, stealing things.
And therefore, a murder that occurred during the course of a burglary could be potentially charged as a felony murder.
What they're saying here is the same rule that happens for individuals who, let's say you're an accomplice and you're driving a car to a robbery at a local 7-Eleven.
Then the man who's actually committing the robbery inside shoots the store clerk and he dies.
Everyone that's involved in the burglary can be tried as an accessory to murder, amongst other charges.
Now, these charges are hard to keep up in court, but they're saying that the Biden administration might go as far as to take anybody who was in the building and that committed any crime such as stealing something or accessing information, which again, you know, I never accessed any computers as people are defaming me as.
They were online.
There was no personal information on them, just an associated press news story.
And that was also not Nancy Pelosi's computer, as people are saying.
It's like a secretary's outside.
And I was documenting breaking news.
But to clarify, these people who, like, let's say, hurt that officer right there and broke in.
This is, if you didn't see my last episode, this is footage from the original siege at the entrance of people inside.
I am proud of the fact that I was able to capture this stuff to let America see context of what happened.
These people that committed crimes might be charged with murder.
And that's just an insane thing.
I think a lot of people thought after riots were tolerated this entire time and promoted by politicians, and we never really saw anyone get in trouble for them over the last 10 months.
I think people felt emboldened.
And that's the problem when you don't support law and order in a nation, is that you end up making people feel like they, you know, this is other footage we recorded of people trying to get out.
I mean, this is very, very severe.
Is that no gas no breaks?
That is.
I think that's all gas.
I don't know.
I don't know if that's all gas no breaks, but it looked like it.
That would be hilarious.
Okay.
I was, and this is my footage.
I'm not, I mean, I hope he got some good footage at this event too.
This is crazy what was happening.
And, you know, the cops were very confused.
But I want to let you know that it's going a step further.
The crackdown has gone even to the general public.
We have this breaking news article that just came in right now from the National Park Service.
This is via CNN that they will close the Washington Monument for more than two weeks, including next week's inauguration, citing threats from groups behind the Capitol Hills riot.
It might close other areas also.
So what we are seeing is not only the heavy hammer coming down to punish people who were involved in this siege, but also they are closing down the city because I believe they have threats this could happen again.
Now, this is some of the crackdown that's happening goes a step further.
This report here from Paul Sperry, he has said that developing the Democrats in both the House and the Senate are planning to draft legislation to classify MAGA rallies as domestic terrorist activity and require the FBI, DOJ, and DHS to take steps to prevent such domestic terrorism.
Senator Durbin is leading the effort along with Representative Schneider.
So the crackdown basically has three different steps here.
Number one, they're initially arresting people who committed grave crimes like assaulting law enforcement officers, breaking windows, knocking down doors, disorderly conduct, as well as some who boasted about illegally entering.
It doesn't look like they're prosecuting the press at the moment, although who knows what could happen long term.
I'm not very confident in the new administration to have any recognition of press, being that they are heavily influenced by the Chinese Communist Party.
In fact, I might even say in some ways bought out.
But I will fight to the end to remain independent as an individual that seeks to share the truth.
I will keep fighting for the right and the voices of all press, left-wing, right-wing, and center, to continue to have the freedom to document things that are important for Americans to see without fear of unfair treatment and oppression.
But, you know, when you're going a step further to categorize MAGA people as terrorists, this is what I realize is happening is like, I understand cracking down on those who committed the crimes.
But when I warned people that they were being honeypotted and that they're being baited into this, I knew, and I'm sure a lot of you know, that this is being justified to crack down on all political dissidents, meaning 75 million Americans who are right-wing, they're trying to basically make it illegal for you to wear a MAGA hat or to gather under the name of MAGA, which is a really interesting perspective.
It's a very Maoist.
It has, you know, colors of a color revolution.
And I'm not proud.
You see this footage from producer Savannah.
You know, this is when they were actually attacking police officers, as you saw in our last episode.
Well, it goes a step further.
You know, Mayor Jenny Durkin, do you remember this stuff during the riots?
I don't know if I can zoom in there.
Do you remember when the Democrats during these riots, when people took over parts of the city, like in Chas, which we documented?
By the way, for everybody saying that the press who documented this were somehow involved in it because we were documenting it, in that case, I'm an Antifa BLM extremist too, because I documented all those.
I've been involved while people light things on fire and invade courthouses.
I mean, you've got to be kidding me, right?
I mean, these people are out for blood.
They don't want freedom of expression.
They want to destroy their dissidents.
Mayor Jenny Durkin of Seattle was saying, right, Seattle's just fine.
Don't be afraid of democracy.
When people invade and occupy public property, it's just democracy.
Well, it's democracy when left-wing terrorists do it.
But when the right-wing extremists do it, or if they would say terrorists, then it's not good.
I say we have equal prosecution under the law, which we're not seeing currently.
And that's what's pissing most people off is not that people are being prosecuted, but that it's unfair and unequal prosecution, meaning they are treating the right wing more severely than they've treated the left wing for 10 months.
And I would say that the left-wing politicians who failed to uphold law and order are the most responsible for what happened at the Capitol Hill, besides the people that were directly involved in invading it.
It comes to no surprise, though, that the heavy hand is coming against this event, as we've never stopped hearing about Charlottesville.
It seems like once every four years, the right-wing riots, and then it's like we ignore all the left-wing riots in between.
We also know that at least 25 domestic terrorist cases have been opened as a result of the assault on Capitol, according to this lawmaker that's coming in right now.
I do want to bring up this very interesting, you know, this very interesting contradiction here that really does blow my mind.
It's just, it's just not something that I want to, I really can get into.
But, you know, they're making excuses for why the police let people in.
I mean, it says here, shortly after 1.30 p.m. Wednesday, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy got the first of several calls from Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, that Trump supporters were breaching the Capitol, overwhelming police officers.
And Ms. Bowser wanted D.C. National Guard soldiers reinforced.
But what happened was the Pentagon officials asked for clarification, saying that they needed a request based on capabilities rather than the number of forces.
Defense officials said.
Now, what do you want to do with them?
One U.S. official asked, there was a determined sense of urgency, but not a sense of panic.
So there was nobody was panicked that these people were breaching.
So we're supposed to believe.
So everyone says that what I said about it being a revolution, revolutionaries was inaccurate, but they're calling it an insurrection.
That's the same thing.
An insurrection is a failed revolution.
So that's maybe I believe people were looking for a revolution and maybe you can call it a failed insurrection.
I don't even know what to describe it as anymore.
But, you know, I want to remind you also the Washington Post called it a revolution and they call them patriots.
But I'm the only one who gets in trouble for that because it's an unfair distribution of persecution, depending on what your political leanings are.
But it says that after 90 minutes passed sorting out those needs with Mr. McCarthy approving the redeployment of 200 troops already in traffic checkpoints, the problem was of understanding what the troops could do because if you remember, Mayor Bowser didn't want the National Guard to have weapons and she didn't want them involved in arrests.
Meaning in a previous article that we read, the mayor wanted a light security footprint.
Now, if we have evidence that they wanted a light security footprint at the Capitol, it means one of two things.
Either they were not expecting the right wing to riot, which evidence shows that law enforcement had evidence that people were planning to surround and invade this, which I will talk about in a moment.
It's absolutely crazy.
Let me go to this.
Check out this.
So this is so crazy.
Look at this article on my page right here.
This article came out a day before the plot to take over the U.S. Capitol.
A day before.
And it's titled MAGA Genius' Plot Takeover of U.S. Capitol.
So this was public news, and I'm sure law enforcement was aware of this.
The Donald.win, if I can zoom in here a little bit.
I know this is a lot of information, but this is crazy.
The Donald.win, an online form for fans of President Trump, is on fire Tuesday with member plans to travel to DC for pro-Trump rallies.
Since the rallies conside with Congress, expected confirmation of Joe Biden's victory over Trump, a subset of the posters have discussed ways they might occupy or storm the U.S. Capitol to make citizens' arrests of lawmakers who hold old-fashioned views like honoring state-certified election results.
Eva Malik-Maleki, a spokesperson for the U.S. Capitol Police, declined to comment on the MAGA fans' thought experiments.
Oh, okay.
Well, we do not discuss the means, methods, or specific resources used to carry out our protective responsibilities.
The United States Capitol Police has comprehensive security plans in place, and we continuously monitor and assess new and emerging threats with the overall goal of keeping those within the Capitol complex safe and secure.
So basically, this threat was out initially a day before, but it's important to understand not only was it a day before, you know, they knew about this, but why if they knew that people planned on storming this, did they not keep the grounds, did they not keep the grounds secure to anticipate it?
And that's why I want to remind you guys that as we go ahead, you know, this is insane.
You don't know what can happen.
You don't know when you could lose your job, but you can save money.
And we all are looking for ways to save money, especially now.
So let me ask you this.

Speaking of the crackdown that's happening, it's not just legal problems that people are facing who were there.
It's also the national social crackdown, as we're calling it the Great Purge, where pretty much every dissenting thought, every right-wing account that could be considered sensitive or disputed, as fact-checkers might say, has been purged from the internet.
But people say always, well, don't get mad when your account is deleted online.
Why are you going to complain?
Why don't you start your own social media?
Well, that's what the makers of Parlor did.
Parlor is a social media app, sort of like Twitter.
It's similar to Gab.
They had apps on the app store and they were dedicated to free speech, while, of course, banning things like pornography.
Well, it says this: that Amazon, this article from BuzzFeed, says that basically the CEO says that their service was dropped by every vendor and could end his business.
If you want to pull up my screen, I have the reader open this article here from Amazon.
It says that Amazon's suspension of Parlor's account means that unless it can find another host, once the ban takes effect on Sunday, Parler will go offline.
Amazon notified Parlor that it would be cutting off the social networks favored by conservatives and extremists from its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services, according to an email obtained by BuzzFeed News.
The suspension will go into effect on Sunday just before midnight, means that Parlor will be unable to operate and will go offline unless it can find another hosting service.
So essentially what people are saying here is make your own social media.
Well, they made it.
Then Google banned Parlor shortly, about 46 minutes after Trump joined Parlor.
And then basically what happened after that is that Apple removed Parlor the next day from their app store.
And people go, okay, that's fine.
Well, you know, you don't have a right to keep your websites on their app stores.
I mean, this is a free country.
It's commerce.
It's capitalism.
You have a website.
Well, then AWS, the hosting site under Amazon, Amazon Web Hosting Services, then deny their ability on their servers to host their content, which essentially, because there's only a few servers that can handle content like this, would then require us to not only invent our new servers, but then possibly invent our new internet.
So before you start talking about the fact that, oh, these are just private companies.
Why don't you do your own company?
What?
Invent a new internet so that it can tweet a little bit?
It's not good.
It is not good.
And it's not going well.
Let's talk a little bit more about this.
They say that, you know, there's extremists on there calling for violence.
Well, what do we talk about this?
Lawrence Fox, a verified user on Twitter, brought this up.
Marianne Williamson, who was a failed presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, has explained specifically, you know, that she's the author of Return to Love, A Politics of Love, an Activist, a Founder.
This is all on Twitter, by the way.
She said, banning him, Trump assuming, from Twitter is not enough.
He should be thrown into a forest and hunted for sport next.
So to put into perspective what we're talking about, they say there's extremists on Parlor, which I probably would not disagree with.
They probably do exist.
What do you call this?
I mean, what is that?
That is extremism.
And that should not be tolerated.
Calling to kill a sitting president of the United States.
That's disgusting.
There's a tweet that I brought up here that went very viral.
And it said this: just a reminder that almost every violent BLM and Antifa riot in 2020 was organized on this platform.
Dozens of people murdered, cops badly injured, billions of dollars in property damage, horrible terrorist attacks like Kenosha, all organized on Twitter with no participants suspended.
Essentially, meaning that what it says is that Twitter has been the center of almost the entire uprising of BLM and Antifa over the last several months.
We're talking about more than two dozen people killed, police officers badly injured, secret servicemen hurt.
The White House stormed.
All of these events, including the assault on the night of the election, these were organized on Twitter.
I also remind you how to shut down my direct messages because of the amount of death threats I was getting and the amount of people who were going after my wife and my family.
It makes me sick, but it's a reality.
To show the evidence of the one-sided purge, there's this image that was brought up by Austin Fletcher, who is an incredible entertainer and commentator here on YouTube.
He brought up some comparisons between politicians on the left and the right.
And as you can see, if you are right-wing, you're losing followers by the thousands.
And if you're left-wing, you're gaining followers.
Well, people have different reasons to suggest how this purge is happening.
Some are saying it's because they are deleting bots, as if everybody on the right wing couldn't get a real following and all bought their followers.
Unlikely.
Secondly, they're saying that they are deleting profiles whose numbers don't match their, you know, they can't confirm their identity.
So only right-wing people have non-confirmed identity followers.
Then other people are suggesting, like AOC in this terrible tweet, AOC said this to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a former press secretary, who was saying that she had lost 50,000 followers this week.
Alexandria Casio-Cortez said, free advice.
If you are losing tens of thousands of followers the moment Twitter starts taking down neo-Nazis and violent insurrectionists, maybe don't advertise that.
Also, maybe people are unfollowing you out of disgust for your support of a coupist because they care about our country.
Unlikely.
It's actually unlikely.
In fact, I believe if there was an actual issue going on, for instance, let's take Trump.
A lot more followers came to him because he was a bad guy in their terms.
People like to follow controversial people, people that are doing the wrong thing, because they want to know what they have to say.
And it's interesting to believe that all of a sudden, in a moment or an instant, that just right-wing people would have people disgusted with them.
I mean, did this see the similar trends that happened when they stormed the White House?
No.
What about when they burned down Kenosho or when they attacked Dallas or completely attacked police in Philadelphia or burned down police precincts in Minnesota?
I mean, did we see that happen?
I mean, those are horrible crimes, just like crimes that were committed here.
They should not have happened.
But did we see the condemnation then?
No.
This is an unequal distribution of justice.
Justice should be blind, but in this case, it's not.
It's also coming down to the fact that they're canceling donations to politicians.
JP Morgan, this tweet here, is halting all PAC donations for six months, while Blue Cross and Marriott are pausing funding to Republicans who objected to Electoral College results.
Pretty much anybody, this is what I want to bring into.
This is the saddest thing I've ever heard, is that politicians are representatives, right?
They were elected to represent their government.
And that being said, they were told that, you know, a lot of their constituents believed that the election was rigged.
And so they were representing their constituents legally, I might add, under the confines of their constitutional rights, were objecting democratically the election, which is not illegal, and now are being punished by people, by the cancel mob,
simply because they represented their constituents, which means we now live in a culture where people want you to do what is popular or what is the mainstream narrative of the culture rather than to represent the region by which you actually govern.
And that's a scary meaning because that would mean that a republic currently doesn't hold much strength if individuals are punished for doing their job of being representatives.
Now, you sure as hell can disagree with far left, far right, and even center representatives.
But like we saw with Simon Schuster canceling the plans of the book for Senator Howey for simply acting in his constitutional rights, our culture is moving beyond the Constitution.
And that is scary.
It also comes down to remind you this, that on January 10th, Citibank says it will not support candidates who do not respect the rule of law and will pause contributions to the GOP members who objected.
However, if we are stomping contributions to the people who don't uphold the law, then that would be almost all of Congress on the left wing who sanctioned the riots over the last 10 months.
How many more people need to die?
Do we need a third billion dollars worth of public and private property damage for us to understand fully of what happened the last 10 months?
Of course not.
We'll bury this and they'll use this moment at Capitol Hill to cement their anger and not just to punish the people who were inside, which, you know, according to the law, they deserve justice.
But what they do end up having is something even much scarier.
They end up having an unequal distribution of justice where only people on the right wing get prosecuted and the people on the left wing realize not only are they able to run free, but they can repeat it again.
It's scary to me, the place where we're at as a nation, and it frightens me in a lot of ways to realize that none of us are safe right now.
It doesn't matter whether you committed a crime or not, you can be held guilty.
We live where you are guilty by political party association.
Free speech no longer exists.
And tech billionaires have more power than the sitting U.S. president.
And this is getting the cheers of the mainstream culture.
We are being treated as lower class, while the elitists continue to stand by and mock us as we're the ones who are prosecuted for the very precedents that they set.
