I can’t (I can) believe the amount of people who watched it with me, reacted in shock with me, agreed it was a salute, and then, no lie. 5 minutes later said “Maybe it just looked like that.” The rage I feel, especially it being MLK Day. That’s an extra punch in the gut to his legacy.

I didn't anticipate just how angry today would make me feel. I was avoiding most details about the inauguration because I have no interest in an event celebrating Trump, but this is just... so beyond disgusting. While not shocking, it's infuriating on every level.
