CNN is referring to what happened yesterday as a "domestic terror attack." But it just sounds so unserious, and as ever when "terrorism" is invoked by the establishment, it’s mostly a way to avoid hard, systemic questions about how and why we're here. 
Chest-beating from Democrats about Our Great Republic and Democracy is just so hollow to me. The mob who ransacked @SpeakerPelosi’s office can never come close to the national and global looting by the corporations and war industry that Democrats and Republicans all loyally serve
Riots/protests are framed as An Attack On Our Democracy and Representatives. But who believes that Congress actually represents anyone but the rich and powerful? They can't even give people healthcare and cut them a decent check in the middle of an once in a century pandemic!
The only thing Congress could come together to do was override the veto of the defense bill, to make sure that the military would not go a day without its $740 billion. Whatever Congress is it's not a "sacred temple of democracy" or whatever
