History

Americans were who did this, and literally millions more would've loved to be there. We can cry out "How was this not the end of it!?" as much as we want, but that's just ignoring the huge amount of people in our midst who were hoping it was the beginning.

My own mother lamented her poor health preventing her from attending Jan 6th, and that same woman cried in horror when Trump was first elected; 4 years was all it took for her to go from lifelong democrat to hardcore republican conspiracy theorist.

Trump's entire political career has been based in use of misinformation to trick people into believing he should be president. He's essentially the presidential candidate version of an IRS gift card phone scam.
