Insurrection

© by Gerald So | 1:30 AM

I hoped the Republican election challenge would be a footnote on January 6, but President Trump continued to incite his base, and they erupted with an attack on the Capitol building, aided by terrible security. Nonetheless, Joe Biden's win was rightly certified, and Trump will be impeached a second time if he doesn't resign.

While I wish Trump and his seditionists hadn't gotten this far, I'm confident our democracy will ultimately respond well and be better for it. There is no unifying and making amends with people who are wrong. You can only stand up to them, show them they are wrong, and show them the door.
