Kevin, with all due respect, what the hell are you saying here? Maybe your irony is too ironic for me to interpret. Thanks.

I assume you know what the Munich Beer Hall Putsch was. At the time, people thought that Hitler was just some mostly harmless revolutionary nutjob, they threw him in jail and forgot about him. But it was the precursor to--the harbinger of, if you like--something much larger and more destructive. Ten years later, Hitler overthrew the German government. And from then until he blew his head off in 1945, the Putsch was celebrated by the Nazi party as an historic event worth commemorating.
So the parallel I draw is that our nation's violent nutjobs are seeing the events of Jan. 6 as worthy of commemoration. And I'm sure that those who participated are being and will be deified by the alt-right. The pioneers of government-by-murder. Hooray.
However long it takes, five, ten, twenty years from now, when the insurrection is a million strong and a violent mob descends on and destroys Washington D.C., murdering tens of thousands, they'll be carrying banners depicting the QAnon shaman, Sean Hannity, and of course the Orange Pusbag. Today is the first anniversary celebration. There will be more.
