(24,486 posts)that a sitting president incited a mob of thousands of insurrectionists to attack the Capitol, threaten the lives of Congressional members, their staff, and their visiting families, attack the law enforcement officers protecting the Capitol, all because he refused to accept that he lost the election.
It was NOT a minor news item. People died. The 200+ year history of peaceful transfer of power - a core principle of our democracy - was violated by the effing president, FGS. He stoked the flames of sedition during the attack, refused to call it off for hours and when he finally did, he thanked the insurrectionists for their loyalty and said he loved them.
It was all pre-planned and organized far in advance. There were caches of ammunition and bombs located later in a search.
And we should forget this and "just get over it?" When hell freezes over.
