The Lessons of January 6

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The seeds for all of this were sown in the weeks after the attack on the Capitol, when then-House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy made his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to reaffirm the party establishment's support for Trump.
46% : With a more responsive policy agenda and viable candidate who spoke to the current needs of the average American voter, Democrats might have been able to block Trump from winning the presidency again.
42% : "That is, broadly speaking, the Democratic view of Cheney's congressional career-ending refusal to accept Trump back into the Republican fold after January 6.
42% : For Republicans, Trump is no longer a problem but an answer for the way forward.
30% : Today, Congress will certify that impeached president's 2024 electoral victory, and Trump is now just days away from his second inauguration, reclaiming the White House with his dual messages of restoration and retribution.
20% : On that day, Donald Trump urged a massive crowd of supporters to march on the U.S. Capitol in protest of the fair and free 2020 presidential election.
20% : And the president whose election the January 6 mob had tried to stop, Joe Biden, is running out the clock after just one term, having failed to fulfill the purpose voters gave him: keeping Trump out of the White House.
16% : "Biden gave Liz Cheney a Medal yesterday, even though she has proven to be totally corrupt," Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday, and also accused her of destroying and deleting evidence from the committee's investigation.
2% : It seems there are practically no political consequences for Republicans who deny the lies underpinning the riot or Trump's complicity, and Cheney's supposed betrayal of Trump is worse than Trump's betrayal to the constitutional order.
