But I eliminated them from my circle over the last four years.


And they're never going to be allowed back in.

They are incredibly disgusted and disappointed. Although I'm sure Fox News will resolve their mixed emotions by tomorrow morning.

This guy is retweeting a lot of them: https://twitter.com/PissedGenerally

Except the woman that was shot ("murdered&quot . She is a martyr. That one was also the one that broke the glass and tried to climb into the Chambers of the Speaker of the House.

... themselves away from the "violence" and saying Trump had nothing to do with it.

Bullshit, Trump literally said they're going to go to the capital building

Is convinced that there was election fraud, and that the protesters - while their actions were not justified - that their concerns are. Also alluding back to protests in Portland, etc. saying if it (violence) was good enough for BLM and the left, it's good enough for the right.

She's an evangelical Christian.

The ones I know are family members, and I rarely speak with them. The last few times I have spoken to them, they've had little to say about politics, in opposition to the norm of RW politics and conservative Christianity being the only topics on which they wish to speak. My friends are all left of center, and I am sure you can imagine their reactions to today's insurgency. There is a cousin whom I first met at a family reunion a couple of years ago, who it turns out is a very staunch Democrat. She was demanding Hawley's resignation.
