What if everyone that showed up on the 6th at the Capitol were like,
“Look, we’ve been through some stuff this year, let’s be better than June and all the riots. Let’s just party out front.”
And they all ordered a shit ton of pizza, someone rolls up with a bar-b-que and starts flipping burgers and hot dogs, maybe some roasted corn.
It turns into a big tailgate party. There’s suddenly a few saints running around collecting recyclables and trash, keepin’ it clean.
Next thing you know they start talking about wish lists and non-negotiables, not just for our next leader (or who they may or may not prefer), but for ANY future leader of our great nation to abide by. Things have changed, we could use a revisit.
A dialog opens, they spend hours on the lawn hashing it out oldskool.
I’m sure there were some professor philosopher lawyer types there. Someone super astute starts drafting a document to give to Congress.
It becomes the next Declaration of Independence event.
Podium thief could have been the next John Hancock.
They were all grown-ass adults, what if they had acted like it?
Kind of a missed opportunity.
