As for “inflaming things,” January 6th should hereafter be celebrated as “Donald Trump Day,” when children wheel effigies of the disgraced former president in a barrow, asking passersby “Dollar for the Donald?” After sundown, the effigies will be tossed on bonfires.
I was thinking this morning that trump’s ego is kinda like the Hindenberg – large, easily punctured, and filled with explosive material leaving everyone screaming “Oh, the humanity!”
Trump began inciting the insurrection as soon as July, he knew that he had a good chance of losing reelection. He began the theme that the election was rigged and was stolen from him and his supporters even before the election actually was held, stepping up that rhetoric as it became more apparent that he was going to lose. Once he did lose, he filed 60 something court cases protesting the outcome, none of which he won, most of which were thrown out for lack of evidence.
As soon as the election was called for Biden, he started sending out tweets calling for his supporters to gather in D.C. on January 6, ready to fight- or “they would not have a country’. They actually believed that they were fighting for their country, and for the true President of United States against a fraud who had stolen the election. And, they greatly outnumbered the Capitol Police. He didn’t send any additional help, when it was obvious that the mob would overtake the Capitol and quite likely actually kill congress members, and refused to do so when it was requested.Mike Pence had to do that, from the room where he and his family were hiding from Trump’s mob. Mike Pence is actually a hero in all this mess. He was willing to follow his constitutional duty and count the electoral votes. And, that was before he was confronted with a mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, and setting up a gallows on the capitol lawn. There are a few other Republican heroes, but not enough. Most of them are going to vote, against overwhelming evidence to keep their jobs because they believe that their constituents support Trump’s mob. But even those people who were part of the mob realizing they were duped. Republicans have gone too far this time. And, the truth of the situation is going to become more and more apparent as time goes by. The Republicans who vote to acquit Trump because they believe their base wants them to may get a surprise the next time they run for reelection.
Republicons: December 7, horrible. 9/11, the people that knocked down these buildings will be hearing from all of us soon. 01/06/21. Lets just move on.

The 6th day of January,
Red-hat sedition and plot.
Make it your mission
That red-hat sedition
Shall never be forgot.

What happened?!! Fritzoid had a great comment likening Trump Day (Jan 6) to Guy Fawkes Day. Now it’s gone! :-(
