I am confused. The GOP is the Party of law and order, and the Party that loves the flag. They tell us so constantly. So when we all saw the Trump inspired seditionists beating up Capitol Hill police, using flagpoles with US flags still attached, my brain cannot reconcile the rhetoric with the reality.
Does anyone have a suggested remedy for my cognitive dissonance inspired headache?
