   Millions of Americans were horrified to see Trump supporters overrun the Congress of the United States  


  
   Millions of Americans were overjoyed to see Trump supporters overrun the Congress of the United States  

    In the 2020 Presidential election, Donald J Trump received the second highest number of votes ever in the history of the republic. Unfortunately for him, his opponent received the highest number ever. All told, the election saw the highest voter turnout ever.
  The question for the future is, will each of those two turnouts continue or recede?
 January Sixth was traumatic... but today, not three weeks later, America has returned to business as usual.
 The fascist propaganda machine spews its usual lies, with new, ever more virulent sources appearing. The  Fascist  Republican Party is again in lockstep obedience to the departed ex-President. The  Oblivious  Democratic Party is as dispersed as ever.
 Here on The Newstalkers, we have an interesting microcosm. We&#039;re surely more aware than the average American... and yet each of us &quot;knows&quot; a different reality.
  Our fascist-fellow-travelers have not changed an iota since the Sixth. On the contrary, they surely feel that with just a tad more luck they could have successfully overthrown the government. So they redouble their lies, their both-sides, their what-about, ...
 The Good Guys soldier on... but... we can all read the writing on the wall.
 McConnell will block everything. Manchin will enable him. The Courts will enforce. The mess that was Trump will recede in Americans&#039; very short memories. The TrumpTrueBelievers will remain mobilized. Trump will will in 2024.
   What&#039;s the point?

I certainly hope so.&nbsp;
 The mess that was Trump will recede in Americans&#039; very short memories. 
True that, but the Democrats will be agonizing over him for years to come.
The TrumpTrueBelievers will remain mobilized. Trump will will in 2024.
Of course they will, and their numbers will grow and grow. But Trump won&#039;t run in 2024....he damaged, soiled, and tainted goods.
With the Democrats in control it&#039;s very likely to be the end of &quot;democracy&quot; in the United States.

January Sixth, 2021: Alternative Titles

&quot;The Battle of the Witless Followers&quot;?
&quot;The Day Truth Took a Holiday&quot;?
&quot;Stretching Plausible Deniability To the Limit Day&quot;?
Though different people have different opinions about what to call what happened on the 6th of January, it&#039;s runup from the summer to Election Day and subsequent events, there is one basic fact that should be noted by everyone: Donald Trump lost in a free and fair election. This is the overriding fact. Though much hay has been made over perceptions of voter fraud, they have for the overwhelming majority of cases been proven baseless and the election results are what they are: Donald Trump lost a free and fair election. The other fact that should be noted is that Donald Trump lied to his followers, telling them that he had won and by a &quot;Landslide.&quot; He repeated these assertions of falsehood up to and through the time of the Capitol Insurrection. These are the undeniable facts.
In my opinion, any and all holders of office of the state should admit to these basic facts. To continue to perpetuate this lie is unconscionable and reprehensible. It does not matter that the voters may be of different opinions on these facts. The congress needs to stand up, one and all, and tell their constituents the truth: Donald Trump lost a free and fair election.&nbsp;
Until such happens, I foresee little in the way of progress being made and the nation sliding further into the grip of the forces of partisanship and tribalism.&nbsp;

I agree... and that&#039;s why I am so pessimistic. TrumpTrueBelievers will never change their minds, and they will remain mobilized. 2024 is not looking good...]]></description>
