Few could fathom in spite of all the warnings -- that Donald Trump would take the final step of actually inciting violence and bloodshed in his quest to retain the Presidency. This, even though Trump said clearly in that first Presidential Debate the POTUS Interruptus fiasco that the Proud Boys should stand back and stand by. Even though Trump has been stoking his supporters with baseless assertions of election fraud since well before November. Even though Trump had broadcast the date of the final certification of the Electoral College tally by Congress as the day he would hold a rally of his supporters in Washington, D.C.
I must admit, however, that watching the videos of the presumed insurrectionist swarming the Capitol did not make me existentially worried for our Republic.

This also validates the BTRTN prediction from last November, which was entitled: "BTRTN 2020 Official Election Predictions: Biden Wins and Dems Achieve a Trifecta"
http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2020/11/btrtn-2020-official-election.html
BTRTN was the only site to accurately predict a Dem sweep in the Georgia Senate Runoffs
"Our official BTRTN prediction for the Georgia Senate runoffs is that Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock will both win by narrow margins, 51% to 49% (or closer), giving the Democrats control of the Senate. This election could take days or even weeks to sort out."(And then goes through the logic...)
