The images moved me. The speakers were eloquent and to the point. Professional with conclusions based n evidence If it were a court of law Taump would be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
It is not going to be enough for the republicans to grow a spine and a conscience, and to back up waving the flag with real patriotism..
In the long run this may spell the downfall of America.
I listed to a former homeland security officer say the tinings that they watched domestically were evident form the start of theTrump presidency was obvious. They track things like hate speech, hate crimes. and right wind extremists.
She said it became evident after a while it was building to something big. It fell o deaf ears.
When the riots happened I thought it was very predicable if you undertood the consevatve undercurrents. Hannity and Limbaugh as rabble rousers. It began with Obama IMO.
It is only the first meeting, but Trump clearly comes accros as a Mussolini/Hitler wanna be.
Rioters shout hang Pence and Trump says maybe they should. I still can't get my head around a president saying that. He is mentally ill.
Republicans seem to be in denial that Trump is loyal to no one. If he had managed a coup his first order of baseness woudl be to sppress any and all thetas to power. He is doing it even as ex president, cowing republicans into submission.
It didn’t ‘begin with Obama.’ Obama had nothing to do with this insanity. The fact that a man who is black was duly elected POTUS twice amped up the kind of racism that has been simmering since the Civil Rights Movement—which need not have existed if malignant and viscous racism had not already existed.
I know otherwise. I heard it from conservative Evangelicals. I ended up on an email list for anti Obama propaganda. Cosevatve in meda like Limbaugh stoked the fires.
The roots of Jan 6 go far back. Over the last 50 years there have been right wing politic, judicial, and law enforcement assassinations. Bombings. Militias. You can go back to the John Birch Society for right wing extremists..
A deep anti govt sentiment in a large portion of population. Trump did not create it. He just is not all bright. At first he may have actually stumbled on what he could get people to do more than planned it. Like a kid playing with matches. Trump provided a focl point, the powerful image of the president.
Trump is guilty of an attempted coup trying to overturn an election, of that there is no doubt. He made use of a long standing segmnet of society.
The riots are over and we are seeing hearings. Nothing has changed in society.
