     @WarnerCrocker I can’t even imagine being that close to the events of the day. He uses the word “surreal” a lot, but it’s bc he’s not able to divulge much more (due to security protocols). Surreal seems like such an inadequate term for the unspooling we all witnessed that day. I kept streaming until 4:00 a.m. January 7 to make sure the votes were certified. In my entire life as an American citizen, I have NEVER experienced anything like the trauma of watching my republic actively under attack.

     @mckra1g Right there with you. It was surreal from afar, I can’t imagine being that proximate to that day’s events.
