Insurrection In America...

January 06, 2021, a day when the sitting presisdent, donald j. trump incited an insurrection in the nation's Capitol for the expressed purpose of disrupting the Electoral College's certification of then President Elect Biden's victory over donald j. trump.

It is a day that will live as one of modern America's darkest hours.

Yet with millions of trumpers refusing to accept trump's loss, believing the lie that the election was stolen from him (nothing is further from the truth), the dangers of continued domestic terrorism remains very high.

Fencing and barbed wire around buisings will do absolutely NOTHING to arrest the cancer that has metastasized in American politics and culture.

America is at risk and the danger is growing. The excerpt bellow is taken from The Washington Post.

The short-lived insurrection was planned and executed in public. There was no doubt it was coming. There was no uncertainty about the toxic ambitions of the men and women who led the mob. They made it all clear on social media. And there was never any doubt that Trump was capable of and willing to incite the crowd. The fail-safe way to predict what Trump would do was to imagine the worst that he might do and assume he’d do just that.

And yet, because our leaders lacked imagination and foresight — because our lawmakers and the security personnel who protect them were unwilling to acknowledge the toxicity, including rampant racism, in plain sight — they would now disfigure a building that they occupy only at the sufferance of the electorate.

Even worse, they would fortify and severely disrupt one of this country’s finest cities against a menace that can be stopped only where it is brewing, outside of Washington, a city whose residents almost universally reject and abhor the ideology of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, QAnon cranks and neo-Confederates who invaded the Capitol.

The danger of right-wing mobs is real. Fencing at the U.S. Capitol won’t help.
