[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, FWIW, I don’t think you were being needy or melodramatic.

This was a big event, and could have turned out much worse than it did. [b]I live in NYC and was glued to the TV [/b]from about 2 pm until I went to bed. At various times it looked more or less chaotic and violent. While I was clearly in no physical danger, I did feel that this event was dangerous to democracy and that someone quite high up was clearly complicit in staying the hand of LE, which I find very concerning.

People overseas think this is a HUGE deal, I have no idea why anyone would say otherwise. I did receive correspondence from friends abroad about it, and the media carried articles about the foreign response. People were shocked.

Your sisters kind of suck. Even if they were asleep while it was happening, if they woke up and saw some emotional texts from you, at least they could have responded. Some people seem to think that only the announcement of a death is worthy of a response  :roll: [/quote]

And that's the thing. You weren't nearby, you probably watched on CNN. It was a bunch of buffoons getting swept in a herd mentality in the heat of the moment. It was not an attempted coup. The media is once again just pushing an exagerrated narrative for people like you and OP to keep watching, clicking, and hating Republicans. [/quote]
