45. By now, any street protests
Thu Oct 23, 2025, 07:40 PM
Thursday

make Americans feel sympathetic about the travesty of destruction, but that's it.
Trump would love to show the optics of that on his platforms.

"Where are ... pitchforks and torches?" You know why.
1. They're not allowed on WH grounds.
2. The 19th Cent. image is kinda weak.

Reality is taking him to court to make him pay for damages to the People's House.
