Two senators shot. One by a fake officer. America is now starring in its own dystopian miniseries. The question isn’t just “how did we get here?” — it’s “why does nobody seem surprised?”
The media’s still debating Trump’s chaotic habits while the Capitol gets quieter — not from peace, but from fear. If the National Guard won’t act, and US Marshals shrug, who exactly is safeguarding the state?
Bizarro Solutions:
Push for independent competency hearings through state-level AGs
Empower nonpartisan civilian oversight watchdogs
Class-action pressure via legal think tanks (force their hand, not their headline)
Although...
Maybe the chaos is the point. A shaken tree keeps its roots.
