The tenure of POTUS 45 will be one that will be scorned for generations.
Five people died including a Capitol Police Officer.
That he has supporters at all after that criminal act of insurrection is baffling to me.
And many of his followers claim to support the "Thin Blue Line" of police officers who protect us.

Fully documented by the myriad of cameras outside and in the Capitol and its environs, how could the mob expect to commit such a crime with no percussions?
Two words: White Privilege.
"The violent mob of mainly white people invading the capitol with a sense of impunity in 2021 is a consequence of white supremacy," write Sirry Alang and Donna McAlpine https://t.co/Uz59wHA1FH

Such hubris recorded with such thorough media coverage will be sifted through for months, even years. It will reveal ever-increasing levels of traitorous intent on behalf of the rioters AND members of Congress who enabled them.

One media comment that sums up our current political landscape:
UPDATE: See this video released by the Republican Accountability Project:

The footage, which may be drawn from Capitol security cameras and other sources, will shed light on the rioters’ “extreme violence” from a new vantage point, aides to the House impeachment team said https://t.co/kxmKI88seM

Hopefully this unsuccessful coup attempt and the impeachment trial will help prevent a redux of the era of the Dark Triad POTUS 45.
