#Trump Is the #Jan6 President

It was a day that should live in infamy. Instead, it was the day Trump’s second term began to take shape.

Five years ago, on Jan 6, 2021, a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, hoping to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. After the sun set that day, #Congress reconvened to certify Joe #Biden’s victory.

@Nonilex Hadn't Trump been in public office, numbers of Capitol Police & Metropolitan Police officers & others could still be alive & there!

The major "beneficiary" of the "Trump"-flags waving terrorist mob that stormed the Capitol Donald J. Trump.

The “rioters” lost, & so did #Trump, who had summoned them to Washington & urged them to march to the Capitol. The Trump era seemed to have ended in one of the most disgracefully #antiAmerican acts in the nation’s #history.

That day was indeed a turning point, but not the one it first seemed to be. It was a turning point toward a version of Trump who is even more #lawless than the one who governed the country in his first term.

It heralded a culture of political #unaccountability, in which people who violently attacked #Congress & beat #police officers escaped without lasting consequence. The politicians & pundits who had egged on the attack with their #lies escaped, as well. The aftermath of #Jan6 made the #Republican Party even more feckless, beholden to one man & willing to pervert reality to serve his interests.

Once #Trump won election again in 2024, despite his role in encouraging the “riot” & his many distortions about it, it emboldened him to govern in defiance of the #Constitution, without regard for the #truth & with #malice toward those who stand up to his abuses.

Tragically, America is still living in a political era that began on #Jan6, 2021. Recognizing as much is necessary to bring this era to an end before it has many more anniversaries.

@Nonilex
The only way out is through drastic measures that stomp out these corrupt fascists
