I knew there wasn't going to be an attack. All of the folks in government, the
FBI, McConnell (who'd told the sergeant at arms not to allow anyone to guard
the Senate), the Military who'd refused any National Guard troops when they
were requested in advance, and all the people we don't know about, had decided
that they'd better abandon Trump if they wanted to keep their careers and stay
out of jail. Everyone is back underground until the next time.

I did take time out to watch the inauguration myself and it was pretty much as
you describe it in your reasons not to watch. The main reason I did, though,
was because just in case there was an attack I wanted to catch it live. That
would have made it interesting.

George H. Smith “It is my firm conviction that man has nothing to gain,
emotionally or otherwise, by adhering to a falsehood, regardless of how
comfortable or sacred that falsehood may appear. Anyone who claims, on the one
hand, that he is concerned with human welfare, and who demands, on the other
hand, that man must suspend or renounce the use of his reason, is contradicting
himself. There can be no knowledge of what is good for man apart from knowledge
of reality and human nature, and there is no manner in which this knowledge can
be acquired except through reason. To advocate irrationality is to advocate
that which is destructive to human life.” ― George H. Smith, Atheism: The Case

I haven't watched the ceremony. I never do, nor do I watch
presidential debates. It's all theater and pageantry as far as I'm
concerned, just propaganda to keep the masses in line. But one of my
Washington Post headlines tells me that in his speech, Biden pleads
for national unity. Here we go again. Is he out of his mind? All that
talk about unity and bipartisanship by Obama helped get us here. It
would be nice if these politicians would be honest for a change and
call out the people who are causing conflict. I don't want to see new
terrorism laws as Biden has already promised, but it would have been
nice if they'd used the laws and procedures that already exist against
white people for a change. If I were younger, perhaps I would be as
optimistic as some of those young leftists who keep writing about how
now we have an opportunity to move Biden to the left.
