Trump may have been reelected but insurrection must not be forgotten
Manage episode 459572825 series 16410
Today — January 6 – marks the anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history. It was four years ago today that a violent mob spurred on by then-President Donald Trump invaded the U.S. Capitol Building in a deadly effort to nullify the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The insurrection was an act of criminality that sealed Trump’s place in the history books as an enemy of democracy and the Constitution.
Amazingly, however, the combination of misinformation and short voter memories has allowed Trump to mount a political comeback and in two weeks he will return to the White House.
And for those who care about truth and the rule of law, Trump’s return, his promised pardons of the insurrectionists and stated plans to take revenge on opponents mark new low points in America’s national story.
The bottom line: Donald Trump won the 2024 election, but that doesn’t change history or the need for all Americans to remember his past actions and to be more vigilant than ever in resisting future assaults on constitutional government.
