The exact chamber of the government which was on the receiving end of the trespass into their House set the example to do exactly that, and in fact showed up back to work that very same evening and continued to carry out the exact business they were carrying out prior to the interruption, evacuation of the Capitol, and eventual removal of everyone who was not authorized to be in the Capitol. They did so in accord with their exact parliamentary procedures, and the final result was the certification of the results of all 50 States and the District of Columbia precisely according to the votes of the Electors who voted in the Electoral College of the State which appointed them.
So yeah. Carry on. Trump ate enough of my mental bandwidth back when he had both the power of the Presidency and influence as the Leader of the Republican Party—and I actively avoided much of the news that that still went out of its way to find me. He still has influence, an apparently dwindling amount and not as the clear leader of his party, but he doesn’t have the power of the Presidency. Now it’s just some other disappointment who is strangely enough, disappointing in many of the same ways as his immediate predecessor but with less natural political instinct but is also less of a chatterbox on Twitter.
