Unlike the 2020 riots in the streets, the Trump protestors will be hunted like rabid animals.

I'm keeping my head down, and emitting a cloud of "stay the eff away from me, illegitimate government tools" pheromones.

I'll interact - but I also understand where the Oglala Sioux went wrong after the Civil War...

Pfft. Soyboys don't scare me. They wouldn't know which end of the gun to point at us.

It depends on your perspective.

Red Cloud (chief of the Oglala Sioux) defeated the US Army shortly after the Civil War, and as a result the US Army withdrew from Wyoming and Montana (specifically, the Powder River and Bozeman Trail areas). I can’t see that as going “wrong.” At the conclusion of “Red Cloud’s War,” at the Treaty of Laramie in 1868, the Sioux were granted vast tracts of land, including the Black Hills, sacred to the Sioux, as part of the Great Sioux Reservation. That was the best deal the Oglala were going to get under the circumstances. That the agreement was eventually broken can’t be laid at the feet of Red Cloud and the Oglala. Red Cloud was a great leader. During the Red Cloud War one particular Oglala stood out, a young brave whose nickname was Curly: His more famous name, and the one that history knows so well, was Crazy Horse.
