Insurrection - 2021

Although we had feared it, we watch in disbelief, our country’s Capitol, symbol of democracy, invaded by those wishing to overturn the government. Throngs of seditionists in MAGA hats clog the streets Of Washington, DC, The likes of which we have not seen except in third world countries. Frightened residents have boarded up and huddle in their homes, fearing the worst. Members of Congress, blockaded in the Capitol, wearing gas masks. Police, park police, and National Guard overwhelmed, crying out for more help. No military help available because the military must be called out by the president, who is himself a traitor to his country and is encouraging the mob. Seditionist Senators cower, perhaps wondering what they have unleashed. Civil War II looms, election results in chaos, interrupted by the riots. Where will it end? Will our country ever be the same again?
