I stayed up really late the night Senator Davis did her filibuster and hundreds of people gathered both in the rotunda and outside the capitol. There was some dude doing a live stream from inside the rotunda and you could hear and see lots of chaos and determination happening.

I was literally biting my hand to keep from shrieking as Jackhammer lay next to me. I was just sure they were going to try to steal the vote. And they did try, it seems.

The one thing that struck me is that the demonstrators outside were described as "an unruly mob" rather than citizens who were protesting. If that doesn't lend itself to the Republican mindset that "I can do whatever the fuck I want regardless of what the citizens actually want", then I don't know what does.
