Re: Do you believe in democracy?

"Starting at 12:00 noon, Trump spoke for an hour to supporters at the Ellipse, telling them, "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more.” He urged them to march to the Capitol."

What's missing here was that Trump said he would be marching there with them. Instead, he scurried back to the safety of the White House and watched what his words had unleashed on TV. The first speaker at that rally, Rep. Mo Brooks, was wearing body armor. Why? What did he know? I hope the committee will be able to ask him about that because it's very odd behavior.

Parading the Confederate battle flag through the halls of Congress that day was the secular equivalent of blasphemy - the Confederates were traitors to the US and there's no other way of describing it. To honor their flag is to raise them up as heroes. But just as Trump still won't admit that he lost the election, those who celebrate the Confederacy by flying its flag will not admit that they lost the war. The cognitive dissonance of someone waving a traitor's flag while calling themselves a patriot is difficult to work through.
