The extreme anger, numerous symbols of hate and unbridled #racism on display during the #Capitolriot by many educated and professional people, from across the country, shocked a lot of people. It also reminded many of the #lynchmobs from the Deep South in the #JimCrow era. BUT... 
The MOST disturbing element is the enablers in the shadows, who according to law enforcement sources, helped them conceal their weapons, which they retrieved at some point between the rally on the mall and the riot.
Another MAJOR, real-time takeaway that we’re often oblivious to: The subtle hateful acts, and racist behavior unfolding around us in social, work and other community settings, that are masked by smiles and flattering language.

When the Taliban in #Afghanistan wanted girls out of school, and women in #burqa, they did not beat up or terrorise all women. They merely brutalised - in public - the odd woman to send a chilling message.
When #India's #RightWing fascists wanted to keep the minorities (muslims, dalits, women) in their place in the heirarchy they merely had to send out the #LynchMobs on the odd occasion, video the atrocity and share it on #WhatsApp to send a chilling message
