What drives me totally mad is the unbelievable naivete of part of the press, intelligent people, and NL TV news. "Why wasn't the Capitol protected any better?" Come on people, use your brain. Who do you think was in charge of that?

So happy that some reporters get it. https://twitter.com/iambridgetkelly/status/1346911736385970176

Now is it slowly starting to sink in why Trump replaced so many people in charge of the military over the past 2 months?
Explanation below:
My parents knew how fascism works. I hope this can still serve as a wake-up call.
Finally. Situation may be improving. https://twitter.com/lacaldwelldc/status/1346930771575992321
Well, the wake-up call clearly didn’t work for this NYT columnist. “This is not a coup”. Sleep well, Ross. https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/1346923938014752769
If you thought “But why did the DC police let the protesters in?”, here’s your answer
‘The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is a CALEA nationally-accredited, federal law enforcement agency. ‘

Read the uniform.
We’ve also seen this being prepared over the past 4 years. “Enemies of the people”, rings a bell? https://twitter.com/williamturton/status/1346940440935870472
Shareholders seem somewhat less concerned about the ongoing coup (it started in the last 2 hours of trading at Wall Street).
If the coup were to be successful (heaven forbid), it will not just be a domestic nightmare for the US. It's that country that spends $750 billion per year on its military, for one.
Some clear language on US front pages. Curious to see what our Dutch papers will call it. https://twitter.com/sherlyholmes/status/1347058702075850752?s=19
There we have it. Domestic terrorists, mob, militia? No, just some "Trump fans" and "Trump supporters" in action, according to our Dutch papers. https://twitter.com/AnneMaljaars/status/1347063688973443073?s=19
In the end, the session of Congress resumed at 8 pm, after the mob had been removed. And even then, many Republicans voted to reject election results, from states where the people hadn't voted for Dear Leader. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1347041036028293123?s=19
It looks like Congress is still considering whether to accept the presidential election results, going over them state by state. The outcome is clear, but this is unbelievable. https://twitter.com/nickbryantny/status/1347036208908685314
Twisted minds: only 28% of Republican voters think Trump is (partly) to blame for the storming of the Capitol, while a majority puts (part of) the blame on Joe Biden. https://twitter.com/crampell/status/1347008600150048768
13 days to go to Biden’s inauguration, and I’m afraid Seth is right. https://twitter.com/sethabramson/status/1347073119933132802
