Beating police officers over the head with American flags while the crowd chants “U-S-A” and storms the Capitol.

2) Capitol Police and/or Secret Service, confronted with the imminence of this eventuality, shooting and killing many many people.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Two scenarios that didn’t happen but came very close to happening:

The pile on continues. All eight members of Georgia’s 2021 GOP House delegation sign a letter urging the state’s top elections official, a fellow Republican, to investigate claims of fraud (still without any evidence) before certifying the results of the election. #gapol

Isaac Asimov died OTD in 1992. This quotation from 1980 holds up:

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States…. [It is] nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
