It Was a Sad Day in US History

Yesterday's mob riot in Washington DC, which began with a peaceful but ill-informed protest by supporters of the current president, marks a tragic breakdown in social norms and shows the danger to our democracy that this president and would-be dictator has posed throughout his term of office. As others have noted, it is not a matter of rejoicing to have comparisons to the rise of Nazi Germany proved accurate. That Americans carrying Confederate flags and wearing clothing celebrating Auschwitz should break the Capitol windows to swarm in and threaten Congress, leave graffiti, and rummage through the desks of members of Congress, is a sad comment on our current situation but an unsurprising outcome of the lies and white-supremacist attitudes of this demagogue president and his enablers. These people left bombs for both Democrats and Republicans, and it is not surprising that one person was killed.

It is time to remove this president and heal our nation.

Geoffrey Fox I'm in total agreement with you, Karla. Something sacred, the sanctity of our constitutional process, has been broken and we will have to work hard to restore it.

Karla Huebner I think most of the people we know understand the gravity of the situation, but it breaks my heart that many basically decent and good people have been misled into supporting an aspiring dictator who shares few if any of their values. Repeat lies often enough and people begin to accept them...

Geoffrey Fox Some people. Too many, but that's why we have to answer them.
