Mostly a good video, but what he misses is that apparently Alamo, TX is right on the border; Trump's probably going there because of his precious wall. That the name is "Alamo" may also be part of it though yes.
Anyway, isn't Trump-without-twitter pretty great? There's no need to worry about what insane things he is saying on Twitter, or how people are reacting to them. He isn't ON twitter anymore. It feels pretty good! Of course Twitter should have done this years ago and not now, but still, we should take what we can get. And with their leader shut down and the now violently extreme Parler also being driven offline (and I am fine with that because of the calls for violence that now fill it by all accounts; the first amendment does not protect violence), it's going to be a lot harder for Trump's cult to organize their next attack as well as they did this one.
Becuase the more we learn about what happened on the 6th, the clearer it is that we were very lucky that Trump messed it up as usual and no lawmakers were killed, because they very much could have been. The coup failed at its goals and we should be incredibly thankful that it did. And again, while the Trump cult probably will try something again, with a lot more troopps in Washington now and their primary organizing methods shut down, it will be a whole lot harder going forward. Of course a significant percentage of Republicans are fine with what Trump said, but hopefully over time they will realize just how wrong they are...
