January 6th

On the third anniversary of the attack on the US Capitol, I'm greeted on the BBC website by an article with the headline "January 6th: The day that still divides America".  The very fact that such a heinous event has not united the country in it's disgust is extremely disconcerting.  If you've seen the footage, heard the testimonies, etc. then there simply cannot be any misinterpretation of the events.  There shouldn't be any sort of partisan divide in how the attack is perceived.  It was a mob of Trump supporters vandalizing and looting the US Capitol, assaulting police and hunting down politicians with the intention to cause them serious harm.  Yet Trump will persist in his baseless claims of having the 2020 election stolen from him.  Which in turn leads to all his ridiculous false allegations of it being a peaceful protest or that the FBI instigated the actions or whatever other nonsense him and his team come up with.  And the fact that millions of people fall for Trump's intentional misinformation is why I totally agree with Biden that Trump is a major threat to democracy.  And the thought of him winning the election this year is really, really disturbing.  Yet, unbelievably and shockingly, a very real possibility.  Surely the US cannot be this insane?  I fear it can.
