re: This all feels like a bad dream

You can thank the GOP establishment for the theft of the election. Not one person in Congress reached out to help Trump's team with legal support, review of the evidence, or contact governor's and encourage them to investigate the steal.
If anything they told the gov's to stand down.
It's disgraceful how they stood by and did nothing, then act like Trump incited a riot when the dems incited riots all over America during the summer.
