My first time there. A few tours of all the monuments, then a Capital Building tour. The feeling of history and the many people who have been part of this county is at first deeply moving and inspires reverence. Then, for me, images from Jan 6 took over and it was just overwhelming. Sad, nauseating, infuriating, all of that.
The complete lack of respect and honor for what has been created, and deliberate violence against all the buildings and people that represent our great county will haunt me forever.
Maybe the special counsel will at last bring some sort of consequence to the orange malignancy and those who helped organize the riots. I hold out great hope.
