Washington DC is witnessing a horrific day as thousands of Pro-Trump supporters attacked Capitol Hill in a bid to stop Congress from beginning the official process of removing Donald Trump and bringing in the President-elect Joe Biden to take in the reigns.
As the violence ensued, netizens around the world were enraged by the blatant disregard of the democratic principles the United States of America supposedly believes in. While the anger was definitely obvious, some even took to trolling the conservatives and their supporters for the violence they have perpetrated.
