On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

    Fair. But I think the reason behind that feeling is different between the two of you. One is internal, the other is systemic. Though I guess if you were to ask her, she’d say the same thing in reverse.

      She can say whatever she wants, but she’s a god damn idiot, and no one smashed any windows at the capital when the voice of the people was actually ignored.

      I realize I sound somewhat hostile, and it’s not directed at you. People like her just really piss me off.
