While I do support Second Amendment Rights, Mr. Laczkoskie confuses total deaths with per capita deaths. The United States leads the world in the total number of non-war related, mass shooting deaths.
Mr. Trump did not suddenly cause these citizens to believe and behave this way. They were already predisposed to not believe in and or trust their government. This is what should be concerning us. The Trump supporters are the obverse dide of the coin from the BLM/Antifa Activists. Neither believes their government represents or cares about them.
How many of us really believe our elected officials (beyond the local level) really represent us. One of our Senators until recently did not have property or a physical residence in Connecticut. He used his parents address. And his wife and children are residents of Northern Virginia, they own a house there, pay taxes there, register their cars there, and the wife votes there. How much does he have in common with a Connecticut Resident ?
I think we are not seeing "Zoom Fatigue" but a sense that no one listens to these Zoom Hearings. Look at the Legislature's hearings on Religious Exemption for refusing a vaccine. They scheduled Zoom comments around the clock. How many people watched, looked at later, or read the Comments at 2 or 3 AM ? A complete waste of time. And there was one picture of a legislator sleeping during the Zoom hearing. How many members of the Committee were even logged on during the night time comments ?
And for part timers, you do a pretty good job of moderating these forums.
