    The walls go up in a new Green Zone. I saw this in Iraq, and now it’s in my hometown of Washington. A militant mob incited by the American president to end US democracy through violence brought this. But they failed. Residents of DC stand against the people they call terrorists.pic.twitter.com/FGYzfSuVOM

        2. Supporters of democracy carry out a peaceful protest on the same avenue on which the pro-Trump mob walked on Jan. 6 to lay siege to the Capitol. These protesters also had signs with the names of Republican politicians who tried to subvert the election that Biden won.pic.twitter.com/YQEl2Iq0tr

        3. Downtown DC is not a war zone, even though the heart of the nation’s capital is now sealed off from the public. National Guard troops and DC police have set up checkpoints and barricades. At BLM Plaza, near the White House, there was music and a lone dancer on Friday.pic.twitter.com/7kBK5O8WLd

        How sad that it’s ‘Americans’ who made it necessary to raise fences to protect Americans.

        Poor governance and oppression lead to political chaos. Thanks for pointing out the connection.
