Republicans caused this to happen, because they wanted it to happen.

The president.
The Senators.
The Representatives.
And their voters.

An open show that they care about nothing but domination. That is their politics.

The American Fascist Party.
The gates were opened for them.

Later they were escorted out.

In between, they delivered their message. This space belongs to white supremacy, because this country belongs to white supremacy.

And now those who orchestrated it will pretend they had nothing to do with it.
"The worst of us are safer at their very worst than any of the rest of you are at your best."

That's the message. Republicans have delivered it for decades, last year most notably in their Covid policy.

They're very consistent to it.

The American Fascist Party.
If you belong to this party, and you aren't a white supremacist fascist, yes you are.

Yes. You are.

You just gave yourself an alternate reason to join. And you lend your support to the things an American Fascist Party does, which they do use, to deliver their promised atrocity.
The events of yesterday shocked everyone—with the exception of those who were pretending to be shocked.

But for millions of us, it wasn't a surprise. We've been watching what Republicans do and say.

An attempt to overthrow democracy was always the promise.

And still is.
Here it is, in the end:

They never cared about national security, corruption, freedom of speech, preventing terrorism, national reputation, deficits, rule of law, morality, or the constitution.

It was only ever about dominance.

And now we're going to be asked to pretend it was a freak event. An isolated incident. We're going to be told that the mature thing is to simply get back to business and unify. We'll be asked to be surprised again next time it happens.

Because enablement is part of abuse.
Questions that won't be answered, and will rarely be asked.

Unify with whom?
For what purpose?
And who gets left out?

Fascists won't unify with you unless you first accept their premise, which is that they matter and others don't.

And they'll only "unify" to bide their time.
I'm mad and tired today, and sick at heart.

Every last bit of what has happened over 4 years was not only an inevitable part of Trump's presidency, it was the clear promise of his candidacy, which was the natural culmination of Republican politics.
