Ignoring the rest of the world, the fact that citizens thought a lying, criminal, unread, con man should be King, not just POTUS, exposes just how fragile our democracy is. And since those that thought Trump was a great idea, will vote in future elections; this problem will not be solved just by Trump's departure. Hopefully, some have now, finally, seen the error and danger of their ways.
Yeah, a young woman took a bullet for Trump while storming the Capitol. No doubt she thought she was defending democracy and the constitution, but really it was about Trumps fragile ego. Sad really.
damn. not to drag this thread on... but was she armed? That's horrible. I sincerely apologize for making light of things then.
It seems for a very few today was the last straw. A few seem to be breaking rank now. The Republicans have become pathetic. This is unfortunate. So long as we have an Electoral College we will be stuck with a two party political system. Therefore we need two viable strong political parties, each to hold the others feet to the fire.
the republicans are debating the validity of Arizona’s electoral votes in congress today. They are as complicit as trump.
Only an intelligent citizenry, along with a strong media, can they be held to the fire. Left to their own devises, the parties will only debate on how to divide the "pie" up amongst themselves. Obviously, we don't have an intelligent citizenry. An intelligent citizenry would have never elected and inexperienced, untrained, manipulative, egotistical, criminal-minded, disrespectful, racist, lying, would-be-King, conman to POTUS.
