Not since the war of 1812 has the US Capitol building been breached. Such an event occurred today with several people injured, a few deaths due to medical emergencies, and one woman killed by gunshot. All of this on a day where there is a joint session of Congress that convenes to certify the results of the electoral college. The flames of today were fanned for months by President Trump even before the elections. Claiming that should he win – everything is fine, but should he lose, then it was a rigged and fraudulent election. This is not the first time in human history that such a statement has been made. Those who make these statements do not deserve the trust, respect, and vote of the people they intend to govern. The Kapital News made this argument then, we make it today, and we will make it again in the future if we have to.
The world looks upon us in awe after today’s events and former Presidents Bush and Obama make statements calling out the current incumbent of the White House. President Bush even noted how today’s action were more reminiscent of a banana republic as opposed to a constitutional republic. A shameful display by Americans who are frustrated, concerned, depressed, struggling, and all the while feeling disenfranchised as well. They are not wrong in feeling this way. This country has been heading down the wrong path for decades and sooner or later the corruption, the nepotism, the fraud, the abuse, and the stink was going to catch up to us, and here we are. There are countless legitimate reasons to put our elected leaders on notice that their behavior is no longer going to be tolerated. Yet this is not the issue to fight this battle on, nor is this the manner in which to do it.
It is also noteworthy how politicians in both parties stood up this evening after the day’s events to talk about how they are students of history and how much love and respect they have for our constitution. Give us a break! Where were these people to stop an ever-expanding security and surveillance state? Where were they to stop these endless wars and ever-growing defense budgets? Same for the reckless spending; and deficits and debts, social welfare and corporate welfare programs; monetary policies; and so much more! It is all a show. It is all a circus for your entertainment. Well are you entertained? A woman was shot and killed today in the US Capitol building – is this what you wanted?
This is not how 2021 should have started and there are still two long weeks until inauguration day. A lot can happen during this time. Let us hope this is just a little chaotic carry-over from the epic saga that was 2020 and that after this, we can begin to structurally reform and rebuild our institutions and country. While we can hope and pray for such an outcome, we imagine that this will not be the case. For weeks, if not months, we have been noting how 2021 is likely going to be worse than 2020, at least economically speaking. After today’s events, it may be even worse politically as well.
