One year ago today, conservatives attacked our nation’s Capitol. This was the first attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812. And it has been fantasized about by the right since around 1994 when our second civil war began. They've been foaming at the mouth to attack the "elites" in the "deep state" and they finally did.
The attack was an act of insurrection meant to stop the electoral process. It was based on a lie about a stolen election that is still believed by two-thirds of Republicans today. But that’s not the worst part.
That’s the path we are on now, folks unless we act to aggressively stop Trump and his supporters before they rewrite the laws of our republic. They are traitors and need to be held accountable for what they did a year ago and what they are still doing.
The real danger now is the massive underreaction by most of the general public. We’ve seen this before in Italy, Germany snd the Soviet Union in the early 20th century. It led directly to fascism.
The eye-rolling and yawning by the right regarding what happened one year ago is the best example of hypocrisy I have ever seen. To remember the lather they worked themselves up into regarding Benghazi and compare it to how they view the January 6th insurrection. They claim to love this country? Really? They claim to be against authoritarianism? Really? Because they seem to be just fine with it if their side is directly bringing about the end of our republic.
What do I mean by stop? Well, first let's identify the top enemies of our republic. These are the people that were directly involved in this attack.
Donald Trump. Louie Gohmert. Josh Hawley. Paul Gosar. Majorie Taylor Greene. Jim Jordan. Lauren Boebert.
Trump and these six others need to be barred/removed from public office and led directly to prison for sedition. They advocated and engaged in an act to overthrow the government of the United States.
The only thing these folks understand is force. It's time for the rest of us to show them that we are done with their insanity. It's time to lock them up.
