While the January 6th Capitol insurrection was an attack on U.S. democracy, it also reveals some of the ways the U.S. Constitution itself complicates American democracy. Osita Nwanevu of the New Republic tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, “Our institutions have fostered a sense within America’s conservative minority of political entitlement.” Aired on 01/04/2022.

1. This country was first off an idea..

We have amended several issues to keep up w/ the times as our Constitution is a living document..all great events in our history has afforded us to take a good look at our laws n we can change n tweet when necessary..just like w/ this.. and, I have no doubt, we will.

2. Yes, in a word: wealthy, white males are above the law.

Nothing will foster a sense of entitlement more quickly.

3. Mary Trump says much the same thing in her second book

She mostly talks about our history. I have her book on disc and listen to it in my car.

4. I'll bet she does! Stating the obvious imo, sadly.

This will be the end of our democacy if this continues with 1/6 traitors.

Does anyone realize the insurrection was likely being acted out for & at the direction of Russia?
