Prompt: Think over the past week. What was the strangest or funniest thing you witnessed?
Response: Well the strangest thing I witnessed this week was the complete breakdown of US democracy. After President Trump spoke to supporters in Washington D.C., a majority of them (and possibly other instigators like ATIFA) marched to the Capitol and attacked with a majority of the House and Senate in session to confirm the electoral votes for president-elect Biden. These people were destructive, harmful and one person is dead as a result of a gun shot wound from capital police, according to the reports. Regardless of political views, political parties, race, religion, etc - the attack on the Capitol was unnecessary, disrespectful and heart-wrenching. The United States used to be a prime example of the democratic process, of true and fair elections and that was all smashed to smithereens over the last few months, culminating in the events of yesterday.
It's been a tumultuous year with the pandemic, the BLM & ANTIFA marches and riots that caused so much physical harm and destruction, autonomous zones CHOP and CHAZ, police brutality and attacks on law enforcement, fiery political races and presidential election, voter fraud accusations and now the domestic terrorism at the Capitol.
What a year...this is the strangest last 10 months I've witnessed and I pray it is the strangest I will ever witness.
