Because of the treason of storming a democratic process, and then lying about it? It makes you question who you're working for, when half of politicians are behaving in such shameful manner without reprecussions and justice. These police officers were physically assaulted and had no way of knowing wether they'd come out of it alive or dead. Some people were even searching for politicians to murder, and officers had no way to be able to guarantee for people's safety (ie. doing their real job). It was an extremely volatile and uncontrollable situation, a bet from the curtains behind, that could've gone either way. Expectation is another attempt in a few years, as happened between 1930 and 1940. I wish this warning is unnecessary!

Yes, January 6th is more like the Beer Hall Putsch. And we all know that that was only the beginning of Hitler's political career. Not sure if that is the right comparison, history is not repeating itself in that way. But having a failed, rather embarrassingly, coup attempt is no guarantee there won't be another one. Or a power grab abusing existing, legitimate democratic processes. The first time the NSDAP won was through a fully legitimate election. First order of the day was a new election that was everything but democratic, so.

  > First order of the day was a new election that was everything but democratic, so. We're seeing the groundwork for this being laid by various states passing "reforms" on voting intended to prevent another "fraudulent election" from taking place (intended to both normalize the narrative that such a fraud occurred and legitimize it when it occurs in the Trumpists' favor under these reforms) and attempts to repeal Section 230 protections and have the government directly control platform content (again, normalizing the narrative that social media platforms have been engaged in an organized criminal conspiracy of censorship and making it illegal for such platforms to combat Trumpist misinformation in the future.) I don't think Trump has a chance of being elected again - he's burned too many bridges even with his own base after the insurrection by not pardoning the conspirators - but it's entirely likely someone else in the family or another, more charismatic Trumpist will step in and succeed where Trump failed. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.

    It's the normal people who think that Trump has failed. The world of savages can see this differently. Who else was able to attack the Capitol and survive two impeachments? Who else was able to f*ck the US political system so hard? How he has failed if he is enjoying the life after all that (while others are committing suicides)? He is a very decent chieftain for them.

      They just don't want to touch the former president role. You can only lose and face destruction with people like that. It's about dragging down everyone. To be even loved for their demise, is just top of dominion.
