What took place on January 6 was both disgraceful and an embarrassment for our nation. However, it was not surprising.
With the system of governance we have in this nation, it was only a matter of time before we would see the rise of someone like Trump and a January 6. And Trump (as well as his counterparts on the left) is just the start of what is to come as long as we travel down this experimental road the founders placed us upon. I am afraid that we are headed to what many have predicted will become of our nation. Unless more Americans awaken and realize there is a better system of governance.
"A democracy cannot last. Its nature ordains that its next change should be into a military despotism . . . The reason is that the tyranny of what is called the people, and that by the sword, both operate alike to debase and corrupt, til there are neither men left with the spirit to desire liberty, nor morals with the power to sustain justice. Like the burning pestilence that destroys the human body, nothing can subsist by its dissolution but vermin." - Fisher Ames
