I think most of the focus on this era among historians will be on how crazy it was that an entire political party was on board with a game show host’s coup attempt.
I read that 71% of Republicans believe that Trump did nothing wrong
Years ago, whenever I entered the USA, I had to sign a declaration that I was not intending to overthrow the
American government by force
I never realised that this applied only to foreigners
No surprise Trump doesn’t want you to see the J6 Committee evidence. Here’s the GPO website with transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report. Also links to our hearings. Might be a good time to watch those again. https://t.co/HtqbmCCaCD
Weird how all the people who didn’t want to impeach Trump because “the courts were the right place to hold Trump accountable” are now ALSO against the courts prosecuting Trump. It’s almost as if maybe they never wanted to hold Trump accountable in the first place….
The history of the Trump era is the cautionary tale of what happens when you don’t prosecute white collar crime. White collar criminals, from Trump to Manafort, keep crime-ing.
The same white people who demanded that President Obama show his birth certificate and Colin Kaepernick salute the flag are the ones who think Donald Trump should be able to commit crimes with impunity. They never believed in America. They believe in white supremacy.
@ricbano@kaitlancollins It wasn't the opposition that provided the most damning evidence. That came from his closest advisors, including the cabinet members he selected in the first place.
@punished_cait Was longtime Bengals fan husband wearing Bengals merch? That would be odd considering theming, they were supposed to be on another planet - so no American football ...
I think this is essentially correct. When one party is psychotic, we already have effectively lost democracy. It’s like being told your lunch options are grilled cheese or arsenic. There’s really only one choice, however much you hate grilled cheese.
