no surprise.

I keep hearing “it’s shocking, but not surprising…” in regards to storming the capitol a week ago, and in regards to COVID deaths now at over 4,000/day.

And I think, “How could these people not see this coming? How could they be surprised by this?”

I have a new thought. They could see it coming. They aren't surprised. They were okay with it, or at least the risk of it happening in favor of whatever else they wanted.

So, the people who want to open the economy and not shut down and not wear masks… it’s not that they couldn’t imagine 500,000 people dying, overworked healthcare workers, etc… it’s just that they were okay with that happening compared to shutting down an economy, people out of work, etc…

The people who talked about fraud, stolen elections, etc… it’s not that they were surprised with what happened at the Capitol, it’s that they felt it was worth it, and potentially, still is.

I’ve got to change up my tactics. It’s not that no one saw this coming… it’s that we just disagree on what we want to come.
