At this point, the news is not what Trump did in January 2021.
The news is the ever-growing number of Republicans willing to excuse, justify, exonerate, and repeat what Trump did in January 2021.
I know it's hard to keep being shocked.
But it did really actually happen that as a sitting president Donald Trump tried to overturn the US Constitution by violence.
And that a big chunk of the Congress and the country shrugged off the attempt as no big deal.
Obama said in 2016: "democracy's on the ballot." That's tragically going to be true again in 2022 and very possibly 2024.
So the real question moving forward is:
Will there be ANY Republican candidate who accepts the results of their election?

Wow. Throwing an egg at Larry Elder spawns all kinds of unrelated blather.
