They stormed the Capitol to overturn the results of an election they didn’t vote in
They were there to “Stop the Steal” and to keep the President they revered in office, yet records show that some of the rioters who stormed the US Capitol did not vote in the very election they were protesting.
One was Donovan Crowl, an ex-Marine who charged toward a Capitol entrance in paramilitary garb on January 6 as the Pro-Trump crowd chanted “who’s our President?”
Federal authorities later identified Crowl, 50, as a member of a self-styled militia organization in his home state of Ohio and affiliated with the extremist group the Oath Keepers. His mother told CNN that he previously told her “they were going to overtake the government if they…tried to take Trump’s presidency from him.” She said he had become increasingly angry during the Obama administration and that she was aware of his support for former President Donald Trump.

If you don’t vote you can’t complain, the saying goes. But apparently you can still participate in a violent insurrection to overthrow the election results. That’s the situation with several of the rioters who were arrested for their alleged actions on January 6, according to a report by CNN.
“Many involved in the insurrection professed to be motivated by patriotism, falsely declaring that Trump was the rightful winner of the election,” the report stated. But when CNN reviewed the voting records of more than 80 of the arrested accused rioters, they found at least eight who did not vote in the Nov. 3, 2020 general election: about 10 percent.

Probably but the frontier is always a wild place .
Humans are expansionist to our core might as well accept it and get on with . Going way out west to chance your luck on mars has to be preferred to the lofty goals of getting a fucking huge mortgage and slaving your life away to pay it off .
