[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I think people who found out about it after it occurred are having a different reaction than those of us who watched it all live. DH and I watched everything from 2 pm on - and there was a long stretch where it seemed it would be a successful coup. We were watching I believe cnn and the newscaster started to cry on air (they cut away from her when she did).

I recognize I would have a different reaction if we hadn’t watched it all unfold, not knowing how it would end. Also, we don’t work on the hill but like many in DC have so many friends and colleagues who do.

Regardless, I’m attempting to make this not about the attack itself, as what’s hurtful is that they didn’t reply - not that they didn’t preemptively contact me.

I think I’m not melodramatic and if anything my therapist (when I used to see a therapist, before covid) would say I should be more open with my feelings to have more authentic relationships. So, that’s what I was trying to do here; and i didn’t get any response.[/quote]

You are being melodramatic and attention seeking and I guess you have done this before if you were ignored and your sisters just didn’t want to get to to some long winded over dramatic text messaging.

I watched it live as well. It wasn’t scary for me. But I am sure it was scary for the people in the Capitol at the time.

And a coup??? Please. You are just using that to be dramatic. Once the people got in they didn’t even know what to do with themselves. I watched them. They were just random people, a lot were probably just there for the excitement. They mostly wandered around, checked out offices, took selfies and then left. They didn’t try to establish power. They didn’t try and actually take over the government. They just made a mess and then left.  [/quote]

+1. They didn’t even go outside the velvet red ropes!

Mass media lapped up the photos of the half naked bearded wonder in horns. [/quote]

Um there's video of them dragging a police officer down the stairs and beating him with the American flag.  If anything, we've been lead to believe it was harmless "milling around" when in reality it was incredibly violent.[/quote]
