My God, what a fragile republic we have.
Haven't many on the right been predicting civil war and the fall of the republic for years?
Some might say 'predicting with ill-concealed relish'.

Folks, do you realize how often January 6th comes up in the conversation of normal Americans?
I haven't heard it mentioned since the week of. Maybe the Beltway is still agog, but it ain't playing out here...

I'm neither American nor normal, but to be honest I'd rather forget about it, too.

The normies I talk to bring it up fairly regularly. Not as a harrowing flashback or anything, but as a good go-to for joke fodder.
"Hell yeah the sale was 70% off! I ran in there faster than a Trumper storming the Capitol," that sorta thing.

I'm unconvinced that Louisiana is any more 'normal America' than Massachusetts.
This talk of 'Real America' is a bit silly. Having grown up in an often-overlooked Lancashire mill-town, it's quite funny to find myself on the other side of the great media-divide.

Agree. Most of my neighbors are Trumpists.

I'm still waiting for the standards and procedures for use of deadly force by the Capitol Police.
Hell, I'll even ignore the request for the cop's name. Just tell me if policy was followed.
In a med-mal lawsuit, one of the first questions asked is, "Doctor, what are your department's policies for...."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Is the standard different from other police forces, because we’ve seen plenty of examples now of what police apparently say is enough. In fact that debate is the root of so many problems we are facing.
But maybe to your point why no uproar now?

The hot rumor is that the shooter was one of Pence's Secret Service detail...

Well worth the watch if you are still conflicted that something really terrible happened.
If anyone has a different account to suggest this is an exaggeration with different video I promise I will watch.
40 minutes is a long time. Anything that locking the doors of the Capitol wouldn't have fixed?
If we live in a country in which something "terrible" can happen to the very seat of government because a mob chooses to enter unlocked doors of a building, then we need better security, don't you think?

Could have said the same thing about 9/11 and cockpit dooors.
Only non-witches get due process.

You'll find "all they had to do was lock the cockpit doors" in at least a couple posts of mine after Jan 6.

I think that when the producers weren’t getting the surge of people they wanted, they had the security guys open the doors

Apparently there was some mixture of being ushered through open doors by security, and a mob storming through defenses prepared by security experts who had honed their craft against insurrectionists for 60 years. But hadn’t yet developed their art to the point where they don’t usher insurrectionists in.

I know that’s sarcasm on your part but how do you feel about millions of people believing what you said?
