Keene man arrested for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 rejects Trumpโ€™s pardon On his first day in office this week, President Donald Trump pardoned all rioters at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Jason Riddle served time in jail for his participation in the 2021 riot.

This all feels like that scene in Revenge of the Sith where the Palpatine gets emergency powers, and everyone cheers meanwhile Padmรฉ is standing there all dumbfounded like how can anyone NOT see what the fuck is going on.

FASCISM AS CANCER

At a cellular level, the longer a body lives the more errors accumulate, & eventually cells go rogue & become cancerous, grow out of control & destroy the body.

At a societal level, errors accumulate and eventually individuals go rogue and become fascist and destroy the society.
