I mean I’ve been pumped about seeing him whine on twitter after he was out of office for months, but I was wrong. I even knew violence was likely, but I didn’t really put two and two together.

I mean, I don’t really do much except teach them right from wrong. There’s a ton more political conversation in my house now than there was when I was a kid, which keeps them up to date (my daughter isn’t really interested).
