Yes. It doesn't consume me or anything, but, since it happened, it does creep up on my mind from time to time while I am working. It amazed me how quickly we moved on from it. Brushed it off. It literally felt like another day at the office when we went back to work that following Monday. Didn't hear a peep about it openly at least. 

We were an earshot away from possible chaos and a Nation divided at it's highest level in well over a century. We were an earshot away from possibly blaming this on Iran and waltzing into WWIII had he actually had his head popped on national television in real time. Truly insane. 

I think it's just the beginning personally. Told my family last year that it's been feeling like a powder keg waiting to go off now since we returned back to "normal" post Covid lockdown's. I don't know. I always fall back on things being cyclical. Which applies to politics, movements and the economy. 

But, it feels like we're fixing to take this big step towards something new and different. And, I personally fear it doesn't involve having too many of us mouth breathers around to see it or to make it work.
