This is entirely the doing of the rightwing radicals. Entirely. They are the armed “protesters” who storm capitols. They are the ones plotting murder. They are the liars claiming fraud where none exists and for which they have yet to provide a single shred of evidence.
A smart person has a fear of right wing disease spreading screaming armed violent fascists who promised to make mince meat of anyone attending the inauguration of our new president.
In his first inaugural address, FDR sought to reässure an anxious nation torn by fascism and economic inequality by saying, “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is . . . fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.” FDR’s insightful understanding of our national peril and his assurance that together we can prevail is just as valid 88 years later as we face a newer, but just as parlous, economic and political threat. If we, the people, combine our collective intelligence, our diverse educations, and our vast experiences, we can prevail not only to benefit the nation comprehensively, but also through selfless trust and patient empathy to mend the rifts separating individuals, families, and groups personally.
“In this time, the gulf between the Right and Left, between the possessors and the masses, between the popular press and its readers, was further enlarged….. More and more, as the 1920’s came to an end and the clouds threatening a world-wide depression appeared over New York, Frenchmen faced one another across a widening chasm that made hearing over it, even if one listened, more difficult. And mutual understanding, in the absence of reasonable communication, almost impossible. Each side hardened in its belief that the other was unfit to govern the Republic.”Excerpt from chapter 11, “Collapse of the Third Republic” by William L. Shirer, about the increasing political, social and economic chaos afflicting France between the two great wars.
REVEALED: Trump spent flight to Georgia Senate rally asking allies if his coup would succeed
Two days before the infamous riots at the United States Capitol building, President Donald Trump flew down to Georgia to campaign for Sens. David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in two races that would determine control of the United States Senate.
However, according to new reporting from Axios’s Jonathan Swan, Trump was totally unenthusiastic about campaigning for the two Republican senators and was instead obsessed with overturning the results of the 2020 election.
At one point during his flight down to Georgia, Trump asked Federalist Society co-founder David McIntosh to assess his chances of remaining in power despite the fact that he had definitively lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden.
“What do you think my odds are?” Trump asked him.
“It doesn’t look great, sir,” McIntosh replied.
“Yeah, you’re probably right,” replied a sullen Trump.
Trump apparently didn’t remain depressed for long, however, as two days later he would encourage his followers to march to the Capitol building, where they would start a riot that would leave five people dead.

The Russian bot farms have been pretty successful at encouraging dissent and anarchy, even if they didn’t help Trump win the election.

You know what is fun? Being a red state with a blue governor.
Andy Beshear has been truly competent during this entire Covid event. What do our wise Republican leaders want to do? Impeach him for doing his job.
Idiots.

It is natural to “fear”. It keeps people alive. It is not “natural” (or moral) to use that to benefit yourself.
