There Is No "Both Sides" to Donald Trump's Threat to Democracy

There Is No “Both Sides” to Donald Trump’s Threat to Democracy
Just because Republicans choose unreality doesn’t mean the media should ignore the facts of January 6.
BY MOLLY JONG-FAST

............

Every time elected Republicans repeat a Trump lie, the schism between reality and Trumpian reality grows. By endorsing Trump’s unreality, Republicans are effectively endorsing Trump’s autocratic nature in which everything he says is to be believed, no matter how baseless or just plain bonkers. But of all Trump’s many lies, his bogus claims about the 2020 election and the events of January 6 are the most dangerous for the future of democracy.

The current president, meanwhile, remains clear-eyed about this tragic day.

“We saw with our own eyes the violent mob storm the United States Capitol,” Biden said in a Friday speech pegged to the three-year anniversary. “It was almost in disbelief as you first turned on the television. For the first time in our history, insurrectionists had come to stop the peaceful transfer, transfer of power, in America. First time. Smashing windows, shattering doors, attacking the police. Outside, gallows were erected as the MAGA crowd chanted, ‘Hang Mike Pence.’ Inside, they hunted for Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi. The House was chanting as they marched through and smashed windows, ‘Where’s Nancy?’ Over 140 police officers were injured.”

Trump's MAGAs accomplished what al-Qaeda could not.

@RonFilipkowski
I was live tweeting the entire time on J6 because I covered the previous two ‘Stop the Steal’ rallies in DC, followed the leaders of Proud Boys & Oathkeepers, Alex Jones, Stone, Flynn, & I predicted violence in the days leading up to it. This was my tweet as it was winding down.

Thinking of the men and women of United Airlines flight 93 who died to bring down the plane and save the US Capitol building from damage and desecration. Trump’s MAGAs accomplished what al-Qaeda could not.
