      Indeed. We call this the best country in the world. Far from it. The most powerful, sure. But Trump and his people (big and small) keep trying to turn us into the most hated, banned, laughing stock in the world. It's awful how this country has groomed one another to be so hateful, selfish and violent. It makes me sick how little we care about other humans and how little we actually care about ourselves to behave in such a terroristic manner. Sad.

      History shows that war always follows the country that is torn apart from the inside. America has caused strif in other countries just so they have reason to be on their soil and they never leave. Another country could have used yesterday to kill all of the major players in the house. They may use it in the future. Our elected leaders don’t love this country they love money and power. There are rules in place to stop men like Trump and they did nothing. The republicans would rather not impeach Trump to hang on as the majority leader than do what right for this country. Some people have had 4 years to change America they will not stop now because a lot of them have high ranking jobs themselves

      Dominic Pinchott, anyone with common sense could see this coming, the build up of people and Trump's inciting them. I was only surprised that the response was so inadequate. The Republicans who continued to support Trump's sedition should be removed from office. The House has the ability to remove members from office, and if supporting an attempted coup isn't cause, I don't know what is. The 25th amendment should immediately be invoked, and impeachment proceedings begun. It should be unanimously voted, and conviction should be passed. When Adam Schiff warned the Senate that Trump wouldn't stop, they ignored his warning, the pandemic was a result and they still ignored it. Now he has incited sedition, the Capitol was breached and invaded, they were forced to hide and the business of the country disrupted, what more do they need. Trump spoke for two hours, inciting the crowd with lies, and this was the result. Romney and surprisingly Loeffler both spoke against these actions and refused to excuse them. Will it take lynching Congress members before they act? I remind you that the FBI thwarted a kidnapping of Michigan's governor. The people who breached the Capitol building should be arrested and charged with sedition, they should have their citizenship revoked so they can no longer call themselves Americans. The sycophants in Congress should be removed from office without delay.

As Beau says, you need the military on board - at this point you'd declare martial law and rerun the election, this time with the "correct" result.

These people could have put pressure on this point to highlight REALITY. Why was that so hard for Republicans? Why was it easier to standby whole delusion was proclaimed?
      I don't leave social media out of this either. They gave Trump their platforms to build up the Big Lie, for years. Finally, they had to yank it because they had liability. They get no hero medals. They fed the monster for years. Fox, Newsmax, OAN still do.
      There is such a thing as dangerous speech that is illegal. But non-speech is also dangerous, though not illegal. Just cowardly and dangerous.

As someone who voted for Trump twice, I fell into the rabbit hole that the 2020 election was stolen from him. I was pretty happy when the Jan 6 riot happened and saw it as a middle finger to the Establishment. However, over the past year or so I’ve undergone quite the epiphany that has made me come to the very harsh reality that for over half a decade that I was living a lie. Now, I deeply regret voting for Trump and supporting his phony cause. Maybe I’m one of the lucky ones, but if a former hardened Trump supporter like me can see the light, then maybe others can too. Now my duty is to ensure Trump can’t return to power in 2024 and do more damage to our country.

      www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinclair-lewis-on-fascism/
      The premise of Lewis' book, "It Can’t Happen Here", published at a time (1935) when authoritarian regimes were flexing their muscles all across Europe and Americans had great difficulty imagining a Hitler or Mussolini coming to power in the land of the free, was that it can happen here. Lewis painted a vivid counterfactual portrait of a United States of America sliding into dictatorship, one that is still cited as a cautionary tale to this day.

    As german i was shocked, and remember what i have learned about the dangers of facism in the school.
    I had the same thought (What if Trump and his minions was a little more competent?), democracy isn't a gift from heaven, we have to work for it all the time.

    This was so no American. I am really surprised that the responsible people are not in prison (even at the top). The USA is all about democracy, freedom, and opportunities 💛
