It's a hard question for people like me to respond to, since I am a registered Independent. I don't adhere to any political agenda. I just vote who I feel represents me the best, no matter what party they belong to. My opinions on issues are all over the place. Most of what I believe is pretty radical, some liberal, some conservative. I don't really believe in political parties at all. They tend to create a "gang mentality." I wish we could get rid of the labels and just have people vote who the believe the bet candidate is, without feeling like they have to stick with some political agenda. I guess that's pretty radical. I believe in completely disbanding all political parties.

The so-called "tribe mentality" fueled by too many people from across the spectrum will never allow the getting rid of labels. 

For reasons unknown to me people feel like they have to belong to one side or the other of pretty much every issue, group, party, race, religion, and everything else under the sun. It's Us vs Them; This vs That; Black vs White (not in a racial way, just an opposites way) and so on. God forbid we ever meet in the middle on any given issue at any given time. We can thank the media- ALL of the media, big tech, social media and "opinion pieces" stated as fact for pitting us against each other.

This is exhibit A to what I was referencing earlier. Stop buying into this profit-driven media [BLEEP].

What do you think they talked about?  They obviously talked about what they thought was about to happen that day.  Did Trump think things would play out as they did? I doubt Jordan has any smoking gun or definitive answer to that question, but he has part of the answer for sure.

If you want to discuss Jan 6 then make a thread about it and discuss it there instead of hijacking every other political thread.
