We鈥檝e heard it so many times now that it must be true: the alternative version of January 6:

鈥淭he crowd was unbelievable,” former president Donald Trump said. “The love in the air, I have not seen anything like it.”

He鈥檚 said it many times before:

鈥淭here was also a love fest between the police, the capitol police, and the people that walked down to the capitol.”

He said it again yesterday on FOX News. I assume he鈥檚 talking about the peaceful part 鈥� the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol.

But his critics naturally accuse him of glossing over what followed — the guillotine, the vandalism, the targeting of the Vice President and members of Congress, the 140 people who were injured — or worse.

But this seems to be his sincere belief: that since it began as a peaceful protest 鈥� that鈥檚 what matters.

What鈥檚 significant to me 鈥搃s that he didn鈥檛 always think that way.

During the occupation here in Seattle, when mayor Jenny Durkan said the occupation might lead to a 鈥淪ummer of Love鈥� — he threatened to send troops in.聽 Back then he said 鈥淭hese liberal Dems don鈥檛 have a clue.鈥�

But now 鈥� he seems to have evolved. A peaceful INTENTION is all that matters. Maybe he鈥檚 decided the way to own the libs is by becoming one. I don鈥檛 know. But in any case, despite his reluctance to protect the Capitol, polls show he has the support of about half the country, so all we can do is accept that for millions of Americans, January 6 was a love fest, just like Seattle鈥檚 CHOP occupation was a summer of love. Jenny Durkan has been vindicated.
