The chaos at the capitol yesterday and the antifa/blm riots were almost completely ineffective in changing anything significant. I strongly suspect they were BOTH at least partly orchestrated by our oligarchs, who own both major political parties and a great majority of the US "press". However, as the economy further deteriorates and real issues facing most Americans remain unaddressed, the capitol chaos and urban riots could be just a small taste of what's coming. As more and more Americans struggle to stay above the poverty line and realize that neither Big Party is proposing policies that could improve their lives, it will become harder and harder for our oligarchs and their politicians and press to hide the true nature of our political and economic systems.
Eventually, we might see far right wingers, libertarians, anarchists, socialists, anitfa, and blm people participating in the same protests and riots. That's when shit will get real.
If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
