The last time I came to the Capitol I was teargassed in the lobby. This time was even worse

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : People like Mitch McConnell, who held in his hands the power to impeach Trump and bar him from ever taking office again, instead saw it as a near miss -- a day when institutions withstood their strongest test.
50% : Part of the reason, of course, was the full-force public relations campaign launched by Trump and the pliant right-wing media ecosystem that brought him to power.
48% : When it became clear that Trump would retain his grip on the Republican Party's base, the party dutifully fell in line and disavowed their disavowals.
47% : Trump dispatched his mob in a speech of fire and brimstone, and a coded language so simple even a child could understand.
40% : The attempted coup became a non-event to many, little more than a cudgel used by the Democrats to bash Trump.
28% : It continued in the months and years ahead as Trump refused to drop the lie that the election was stolen from him, and it continued when his party stopped disagreeing with him.
9% : Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker who more than anyone channeled the rage felt by its members when she condemned Donald Trump that day, wore a pained smile throughout.
