1. I Fear That the Answer to All of Carol's Questions May Just Be:

We had a seditionist President.

4. Agree that's the key.

And we won't be able to move forward until he's really gone for good.

2. She's exactly right.

What strikes me is how many of these people don't think they did anything wrong.

They see themselves as patriots and compare themselves to our Revolutionary War heroes.

The RW media and the GOP is trying to normalize this and sweep it under the rug.

If we don't make it clear that this is behavior that will ruin their lives, this will build and build until it explodes.

Currently, I think the biggest danger is to Statehouses across the country, especially when the Republicans working inside those Statehouses condone and encourage this crap.

3. They see themselves as "following orders," they claim they were "invited"

And we have seen it on video that they were - by Trump. He is responsible and needs to face the consequences.
