I think we must be very careful here. Trump is already off expanding his hate cult outside of the presidency. This is not going away. This is just the beginning of something we've not seen before. If we don't impeach & convict now, he will come back stronger & w/ nastier support.
This is not just "fringe" extremism anymore. They will skip over the "protest" part and move straight to strategic insurgency. They don't think like protesters, they think they're saving something. Cut the head off the snake. Right now. Squash this rebellion before it builds.
We are entering an era VERY similar to the antebellum era. People are lost. Grift, scams, cults, schemers, zealots, and political extremism will thrive in this uncertainty. The racial divide will become a chasm for some. Sadly, the Civil War followed the antebellum era.
Let me be clear. While many of the people you saw invading the Capitol were lemmings just following the crowd, there were some there who would have taken political leaders as hostages or worse, had they not been sheltered in safety. Weds could have been much worse than it was.
