Hundreds of congressional staffers wrote an open letter to senators urging them to consider the trauma aides experienced during the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol and to convict former President Donald Trump "for our sake, and the sake of the country."
Later in letter they mention the trauma, and the repeating re-stimulation of that trauma:
And it's not just staffers who work at the Capitol who were traumatized by what happened. And I think that is a piece of it. The trauma is there; the trauma is very real. And anytime that new pieces of information come out, you know, you're kind of re-traumatized.
Which is also AOC’s observation: www.usatoday.com/…
when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other
Here’s hoping the message gets through to the GQP Senators. But then, abusers don’t care how victims feel, so I’m not holding my breath.
