IMPORTANT!
Due to statewide power outages across my state, which I am not disclosing for my own safety, the next update for Challenges and LGBTQ one-shots will be late, making the date Monday, January 10 for Challenges and Wednesday, January 12 for LGBTQ one-shots. I apologize for the inconvenience. We did not have a generator strong enough for my entire house, and my power was out for 4 days straight. I apologize again. I am also going through some personal things right now so please bear with me.
Second order of business...
Since today is the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot, I thought I would say something, and I promise it will be somewhat brief.
No matter how many times you conservatives and/or republicans tell me that Trump was not behind the attack, you are not changing my mind. Our former president said, and I quote,
"You gotta fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell you won't have a country anymore. So we're gonna walk on down to the Capitol, and Ima be right there with you to fight like hell."
And, even before his rally that day, he tweeted, at 12:43 AM that morning,
"Get smart and fight!"
Whatever his intentions were with those words, it doesn't matter. His supporters actually did it. They went to the Capitol building, the heart and soul of our nation, broke barriers, waved confederate flags in the halls of the congress, cost 1.5 million dollars of damage, the list goes on.
About 1 hour after his supporters officially breached the capitol, he released a video condemning the violence, but also calling his supporters "special people", while also repeating his constant false claims about election fraud.
Later, that night, Trump decided to tweet, then delete the following:
"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love and in peace. Remember this day forever!"
He also said this 2 days after his restrictions on Twitter were lifted:
"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!"
That was the last straw, as this was not a first-offense situation for Trump.
In the days following January 6, all major social media sites banned Trump, including his infamous Twitter account, which he appeared to love oh-so-dearly because he then tweeted on the official P.O.T.U.S account. I'm not going to type it because it sickens me. It's just more bullshit about the "stolen election".
In conclusion, do not tell me Trump was not responsible for the events of January 6, 2021.
Alright, I'm not going to go on anymore. I could go on for hours, but I won't.
