You are probably right, but I still say a tenth of who did attend could have altered history and stopped it by being willing to sacrifice and take the capital building and deny entry by congress...
I was there, and IMO it wouldn’t have stopped it.
What it would’ve done was get a bunch of people arrested, paint the tea party as a bunch of “right wing nutjobs”, and marginalize us even more.
Did you see the coverage of the alleged epithet/spitting episiode? That was ALL I heard when I got back to the hotel - nothing about the 10s of thousands of people who were calm and picked up their litter.
We don’t have enough people yet to rush the Capitol and win. We need to fight this at the ballot box in November by voting them out, by refusing to support union companies (GM) and others who’ve taken handouts from this corrupt administration, and by lowering our tax burden as far as possible.
They can’t continue to do this without our votes and our money - so deny them both to them.
It may come a time when we have to “Ceaucescue” but we are not there yet.

You know what? My family is hanging on by a thread and I mean a thread. Sacrifice? Where would I get the money from? For the first time in over 20 years of marriage my husband is barely working. I work but I don’t make enough to cover what we have lost. Even now my pay has dropped.
I will admit I have been on the ropes before, of my own doing, but now it is out of my hands and I’m getting very nervous on how we will make it. And I am not alone, most of my friends are in the same boat.
