us politics stuff, violence (--) 

@Felthry a lot of armed pro-Trump people broke into the US Capitol building in DC and also some state capitols, I think? and tried to do an armed takeover

I think the latest news is that they were driven out? washingtonpost.com/local/trump is a Washington Post article on it

@packbat this sounds like the beginning of the end of the US, honestly

it may take a few decades or even a century but i honestly can't see any scenario where future historians don't point at 45 as the beginning of the final decline of the american empire

that's probably a good thing but i hope the instability doesn't cause too much harm
