The riot in the #Capitol instigated by @realDonaldTrump and his enablers is a disgrace on many levels. That these flag-waving, white supremacist thugs were allowed to escalate this situation so far...
is another insult to every black, brown or indigenous person who has been brutalized or killed by police while exercising their right to truly peaceful protest — or even while just driving, walking or being present in their community.
How was this allowed to happen?

It's difficult to imagine things reaching this point without gross incompetence — if not collusion — from Capitol police and Homeland Security. We've seen years of reports and evidence of "law enforcement" coziness with white supremacist factions https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1346920198461419520
We are disgraced by how far this country has descended toward neo-fascism. @realDonaldTrump is, sadly, only a symptom of this threat. The actions of his followers today provides more evidence that, while Trump was defeated at the ballot box, Trumpism will continue to be fueled by
constant corruption, graft and exploitation by the elite power structure. Republicans and Democrats routinely disregard the law and voters when it suits their purposes.
People asking "how can half of the country think the election was stolen from Trump?"

need to be reminded Democratic Party elites spent three years claiming Russia installed Trump in the White House in the first place and Greens are "Russian assets".
Republicans and Democrats use conspiracy fantasies to whip up their supporters and cover up their failures.

The result is a citizenry roiled by misinformation, fear and anger. That does not excuse any of the crimes committed today. It does point to a way to end this cycle.
We need to democratize elections, our society and economy. We believe the most effective way to fight neo-fascism is through the pillars of Grassroots Democracy, Ecological Wisdom and Eco-Socialism, Social Justice and Nonviolence! Join us in that struggle http://gp.org/welcome
