Yesterday sucked. It really did. The United States honestly just experienced arguably its darkest day of the 21st century.
I’m not going to regurgitate any of the pictures and videos that accompanied the day, but what should have been a relatively mundane day of Congress certifying the results of the 2020 election turned into one of the most performative acts of domestic terrorism that I can remember in my lifetime. There have been some memorably dark moments in the US over the years (9/11 especially so in the New York area, obviously), but never has there been an outright attempt at a coup on US soil by US citizens (with minimal law enforcement/military resistance) in the modern era.
