My word, the Texas Quote of the Day, a description of a fight on a train, is superb:

Fight on a Train
The passengers on the eastern-bound Kansas Pacific train on Saturday night enjoyed the rare opportunity of witnessing one of the fiercest fights between desperados and equally courageous Texans ever witnessed upon the Western Plains. The facts, as related by one of the railway men last evening, are as follows:
An old drover from the far-off plains of Texas got upon the Kansas Pacific train at Ellsworth, with the intention of going to Kansas City. There also got on board the train at the same station two of the cattle dealers, one of them a short, muscular little fellow, who plays the most prominent part in this affair. A party of three of those pestiferous thieves known to all Western railways--monte gamblers--soon made their presence known in the car next to the sleeping-car, and in a few minutes, had pocketed the old drover's last $20 note. It was at this juncture that the above-mentioned little cattle man "came out strong"--as Mark Tabler would say.
He interfered on the old drover's behalf, when the monte men very arrogantly told him to mind his own business. The young man resented the hint, words led to words, blows led to blows. The young man managed to put in a series of scientific sledge-hammer blows, which soon sent the monte thief howling and bleeding over the seats. The other monte men joined in to take a hand, when the other cattle drovers met them, and in a short time punished them fearfully. Finding themselves beaten, they retreated at the muzzle of the cattle men's revolvers to the sleeping car, and locking themselves up in the drawing room, bade defiance to further attack.
A council of war was held in the front car, when it was agreed that the monte men should be allowed to hold the sleeping car until the train reached Salina, where a Sheriff's posse had been telegraphed for. But this arrangement was not satisfactory to the brave little drover. He had resolved upon recovering the old man's money, and appeared to treat with contempt the knives and pistols pointed at the windows of the drawing room.
After washing off the blood from his face and hands, he walked boldly into the sleeping-car, where the three gamblers, driven to bay, stood watch within the locked glass door. With a huge navy revolver in each hand the young man dashed open the door of the den, and putting his cocked revolvers at the astonished gamblers, coolly demanded the old drover's lost money.
Finding that he was determined to have it or do worse, and seeing the passengers closing in with cocked revolvers, the gamblers gave up the money. This did not satisfy the young drover.
He now demanded the surrender of all the knives and pistols in their possession. After some parleying, the arms were given up, and the monte men held under guard until the train rolled into Salina, where a Sheriff's posse awaited them with bracelets and a guard of honor. They were taken from the train and escorted to jail. Conductor Brinkerhoff and Pullman Car Conductor Flint received the thanks of the passengers for their coolness and prompt action in securing the arrest of the monte thieves, while the young drover deserves more praise and credit than mere words can express. He learned the monte gang a lesson they will never forget."

I don't usually share articles – you don't need me to find them – but when @VDHanson speaks, we should listen. And when he writes like this, we should sit up, pay attention, and let others know.

I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x
