So we've come out the other side. The Trump era has ended. What the founders feared had come to pass. There were any number of near calls in our history. However this one was the real deal. The republic nearly fell.
The safety measures those slaveholding founding gentlemen put in place stopped a madman installed by the mob. Even Franklyn went on at length about that specific danger. It speaks well for the system such as it is. That it took over 240 years for such a person to become our head of state.
We're Half a Millions fewer, but here we are. We mourn our dead. We'll repair the damage. We'll understand the ongoing dangers from the insurrectionists, and interests behind them. However we go on.
Our story was not ended by a hateful mob.
One that not only invaded, and ransacked our sacred Capitol Building. 'But was intent on lynching the Vice President, and the Speaker of the House. By their own documents, and words they planned to murder as many Congress-persons, and members of the Senate as they could find.
All at the direction of a rogue president.
They had intent to put on trial then execute every found elected official save those associated with them. All this recorded on their media. Texted or in their own spoken words.
This all came within minutes of happening.
I wish this was an alternate history plot, but it happened. A portion of their revered tome to genocide "The Tuner Diaries" nearly came to pass.
This is where we are.
This is what has to be addressed. What has to be healed.
The American Experiment continues.
