You fundamentally blow off the concept of symbolism, or the fact that the attempt itself matters, not just its success.

You make light of a violent mob chanting "hang Pence" as they march toward him, and yes, in light of "not being able to overthrow the government", you fail to convince me some would not have tried to capture or kill politicians.

In short, you are waving your hand and claiming persecution as if Truth, Justice and the American Way has been defeated because Trump is off Twitter.

The sky has not fallen.
