You make a deal with the devil and there will be a day of reckoning and today was it for the Republican party. They need an exorcism and a whole new beginning to get back to being the party of Lincoln.
There can be no more spinning. Trump is severely disturbed and so are his fanatical devotees. Let them form their own no nothing party and be relegated to an historical footnote.
He left when he knew he had to for both the nation and him.
In 1960, he also did the nation a solid by not contesting Kennedy’s questionable win. He didn’t want to put the nation through it although he had far more grounds to do so.
Somehow those who are similarly impaired were devotees of Trump. No one ever associated themselves with Tricky Dick.

Introducing it is moronic.
What drives their "fanaticism?" It's perfectly reasonable to offer up economic hypotheses. I didn't see any of you and your ilk decrying speculation about The Madness "protesters" this summer or the Occupy Wall Street kids a decade ago. It was perfectly acceptable to speculate as to the seemingly rational reasons for their "fanaticism."
Or do you believe that the lot of them on the Left and Right are all mentally ill, operating on paranoid delusions?
Since I know what's coming, let me state again that the behavior today was despicable, and I'd wager that I would support harsher sentences for these people than most here. Thugs who attack cops and destroy our property and vandalize not only deserve time behind bars, but a billy club to the head. But I'm not interested in seeing the crocodile tears and hand-wringing about the violence and vandalism from the Summer 2020 Apologists and the "I Couldn't Agree More" crowd. Do you know what I mean by that? I mean the folks who never offered up their own condemnations of The Madness. They just weren't that moved to do that. But if you pushed them enough, you could get an, "I couldn't agree more" out of them. The grossly inconsistent levels of outrage for similar, and, frankly, more destructive mayhem during the summer calls into question whether the current level of outrage from this crowd is motivated by actual revulsion at the violence and destruction in principle, or just more about the anger they have towards their political enemies.
understand, sure? I also was disgusted by what happened over the summer and was pretty vocal about it. So you are preaching to the converted there. References to that in some attempt to justify, minimize or equivocalize what happened today fall flat for me. In fact, I would think that if one were truly offended by what was done by the anarchists, it would be all the more reason why they should be even more disgusted by similar, repeat behavior from these people.
What sets this incident apart from others is that it was dementedly created and manipulated by one sick person who invited these people in huge numbers to DC (it’s going to be wild) and then incited them to march on the Capitol knowing full well what would happen. He was also nowhere to be found in providing any security response to what he helped create.
It was a uniquely disturbing and disgusting thing to happen in our capital, and it truly did sadden me.
I supported most of his policies. He just set the wrong tone for a leader... and that is important. We need to move back to civil discourse. I honestly don't get why anyone would feel attached to him.

It was pure Game of Thrones latent violence.
But this has nothing to do with Trump's personality disorder.
you are a near sighted person . You are a person that can taken advantage of.
Anyone who can't recognize severe psychological disorder at THIS point is a lost soul.
