You are right. Prison inmates would not tolerate this. They would riot.
Yes, prisoners would not tolerate having to rest on concrete floors while a short distance away the elite rulers govern in luxury after a North Korean style installation of a fraudulent new President. However, the military won’t riot because they are sworn to follow the chain of command, and are trained to do that. But the honor of the military has nevertheless been impugned and they have been labeled “white supremacists” who are likely to cause trouble.
Meanwhile the democrats are giddy with power, and instead of wanting to govern are gearing up to spend money we don’t have and kill jobs due to globalist concerns. Prediction: this will not end well.
