America was 1923 since at least 1917 if not before 1776 even. They have been setting off 1933s across the world for over 100 years. It was bound to happen there, too.
Indeed. We call this the best country in the world. Far from it. The most powerful, sure. But Trump and his people (big and small) keep trying to turn us into the most hated, banned, laughing stock in the world. It's awful how this country has groomed one another to be so hateful, selfish and violent. It makes me sick how little we care about other humans and how little we actually care about ourselves to behave in such a terroristic manner. Sad.
History shows that war always follows the country that is torn apart from the inside. America has caused strif in other countries just so they have reason to be on their soil and they never leave. Another country could have used yesterday to kill all of the major players in the house. They may use it in the future. Our elected leaders don’t love this country they love money and power. There are rules in place to stop men like Trump and they did nothing. The republicans would rather not impeach Trump to hang on as the majority leader than do what right for this country. Some people have had 4 years to change America they will not stop now because a lot of them have high ranking jobs themselves
Same here, 5 days later I'm still extremely pissed and I'm only a legal resident Alien in the US. What happened on the 6th was high treason, sedition and terrorism at play, this must never be repeated and that battle will be long fraught, it must start with Trump and end with his supporters.
I watched a vid of a video that was shown at one of the t+++p rallies on a big screen. The video was of Bernie Sanders and Jake Tapper, their mouths were so poorly clipped out and deep faked in another mouth it was staggering. Everyone was eating it up.

Gotta give a little credit to CNN: they were literally calling it domestic terrorism and an attempted coup. They weren't pulling punches. It was refreshing to see them call it what it actually is.
Yeah, it suprised me too. What didn't suprise me was Biden's reaction. That speach... I almost fell asleep and forgot there was an attempted coup in progress.
Not going to happen. Even after this, people like Josh Hawley stood on the floor of the Senate and House and continued to lie and stoke the fires. Not a thing will happen to the people who enabled this. Because 'Murica.
There is no such thing as 100% security. Security is the level of prevention and speed of recovery from attacks, not an absolute absense of the threat of attack.
Well the police and military are generally the first targets of fascists because in theory they can stop them. So they infiltrate or somehow neutralize them.
Like your comment but seems to be mix up on the quote Santayana is credited with “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” Churchill said “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
My daughter got a healthy dose of that today in her history class. Her teacher went over the craziness of yesterday and the significance of that breach.
The sad part is I don't think they're going to be prosecuted like they should. Btw one guy said he was acting in the capacity of a journalist. Can you believe it?
There have been coups in French history but now France has a more democratic transition of power. So, that quote you've written down is demonstrably false.
That video was taken in an area where they had a permit to protest. Moving barricades like that is perfectly normal with scheduled permitted events like that.
This is also why tЯump* fired Mark Esper as Secretary of Defense. Maryland _tried_ to send it's National Guard Wednesday, but needed approval from the newly appointed Sec.

So true. The only reason half of those people got that deep was sympathy from some capitol police opening barriers and turning away and taking selfies with the parties.
“It failed because it’s Trump” as simple as that. You laid it out perfectly. I wish this video could have a mass exposure. Please forward it as many times possible. Thank you sir.
I've seen more "police vs protester" actions this year than I wanted to, to recognize when the police are at the top of their "game". What I saw yesterday looked like the police sent their 'C side' and their hearts weren't into it. Why is it that only BLM or M4A or Defund the Police deserve the 'A Team?'
People in charge let this happen. There is no other explanation for the lack of security at the Capitol. The Capitol police should be disbanded immediately.
Thank you. You truly helped me recognize my deep, unacknowledged fear in response to the coup, and motivated me toward action with your outline for change.

Agreed, I'm not American but to me this looks like a double standard. The cops were too lenient, the protestors intentions are clear. Especially if they bring guns. But because most of them 'whites' from what I saw on TV, you know the rest. Put up the barrier starting from the gates, like what they did with BLM.
Want people to be “anti authoritarian “, you have to give them access to a competent and affordable education. People need to learn how to think critically.
Lots of authoritarians are educated. Authoritarianism is about emotion, the denial of reason. It is the belief that some external threat is so powerful that you need a strongman to protect you from it. And so, the things that protect you from fear that breeds authoritarianism, those are wisdom, good humor, and love of all humanity. Notably, those are things which education does not teach.

That is exactly the case. The wording used in the objections cloaked it, but that was indeed the bottom line. Note exactly *who* raised the objections to the count of the electoral votes, how they presented their objections and their actions before and after the attempted coup. Names to keep in mind for starters: Hawley Gohmert Kennedy (the *other* Kennedy) Cruz And then check the list of those voted to support the objections. Remember, it’s not just what they say, it’s their actions. Hawley is going to regret his inane fist-pump of support.
Elections laws should not have too much plasticity. The only way every vote can count is to determine strict criteria for what constitutes a legal vote or there is no election. Any vote cast under the established criteria counts. Strict observation of election criteria is essential to ensure people's faith in democratic processes. As for mail-in voting promoted as a way to get around the risk of SARS-CoV2 contagion, if people can wear the proper face covering and strictly observe physical distancing guidelines at the store or at the city park, why can't they do it at the polling station?

I don’t disagree. But the initial footage showed about 20-25 cops at the top of the steps being rushed by at least 100 protestors. And there is footage of the police clashing with them at a line of barriers.
@@Mugdorna If you think about how many billions are invested into police each year, the tear gas, rubber bullets and military equipment, the fact that they're defending the supposed seat of Western democracy, and they couldn't find enough manpower to stop a couple hundred people from getting inside?

I mean, can you imagine the police response if a few hundred black or Muslim protesters tried to break into the Capitol? They'd be declared terrorists before the first window was smashed.
"When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." - Anonymous but true. Often falsely attributed to Sinclair Lewis. www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinclair-lewis-on-fascism/ The premise of Lewis' book, "It Can’t Happen Here", published at a time (1935) when authoritarian regimes were flexing their muscles all across Europe and Americans had great difficulty imagining a Hitler or Mussolini coming to power in the land of the free, was that it can happen here. Lewis painted a vivid counterfactual portrait of a United States of America sliding into dictatorship, one that is still cited as a cautionary tale to this day.

Imagine how small countries feel when we do this to them. We have terrorized the world and now we have turned on ourselves.
Interesting point.
Good point Sir!
Indeed. We call this the best country in the world. Far from it. The most powerful, sure. But Trump and his people (big and small) keep trying to turn us into the most hated, banned, laughing stock in the world. It's awful how this country has groomed one another to be so hateful, selfish and violent. It makes me sick how little we care about other humans and how little we actually care about ourselves to behave in such a terroristic manner. Sad.
History shows that war always follows the country that is torn apart from the inside. America has caused strif in other countries just so they have reason to be on their soil and they never leave. Another country could have used yesterday to kill all of the major players in the house. They may use it in the future. Our elected leaders don’t love this country they love money and power. There are rules in place to stop men like Trump and they did nothing. The republicans would rather not impeach Trump to hang on as the majority leader than do what right for this country. Some people have had 4 years to change America they will not stop now because a lot of them have high ranking jobs themselves

Want people to be “anti authoritarian “, you have to give them access to a competent and affordable education. People need to learn how to think critically.

we've been trying! its too easy to manipulate an uneducated, and unhealthy society.
Unfortunately education gets in the way of power and profit. So it is not something encouraged by the rich and powerful.
Lots of authoritarians are educated. Authoritarianism is about emotion, the denial of reason. It is the belief that some external threat is so powerful that you need a strongman to protect you from it. And so, the things that protect you from fear that breeds authoritarianism, those are wisdom, good humor, and love of all humanity. Notably, those are things which education does not teach.

That is exactly the case. The wording used in the objections cloaked it, but that was indeed the bottom line.

Elections laws should not have too much plasticity. The only way every vote can count is to determine strict criteria for what constitutes a legal vote or there is no election. Any vote cast under the established criteria counts. Strict observation of election criteria is essential to ensure people's faith in democratic processes. As for mail-in voting promoted as a way to get around the risk of SARS-CoV2 contagion, if people can wear the proper face covering and strictly observe physical distancing guidelines at the store or at the city park, why can't they do it at the polling station?

"When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
- Anonymous but true. Often falsely attributed to Sinclair Lewis.
www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinclair-lewis-on-fascism/
The premise of Lewis' book, "It Can’t Happen Here", published at a time (1935) when authoritarian regimes were flexing their muscles all across Europe and Americans had great difficulty imagining a Hitler or Mussolini coming to power in the land of the free, was that it can happen here. Lewis painted a vivid counterfactual portrait of a United States of America sliding into dictatorship, one that is still cited as a cautionary tale to this day.

Yes never forget..... dangerous idiot fools of the derelict nature
YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!
Sadly, the rest of America is feeling how an abused person feels when they realize that everyone can see what's happening. 😥
The "heavy lifting" that has kept us afloat this past four years are the ones who suffered the great grief of seeing how the country had devolved into this chaos. That suffering is real nature, not some propped up rhetoric of men, but one of real agony and need for a resolution. Your analogy of abuse is very well put.
@@whalesong999 Thank you. I'm a survivor of childhood abuse. I understand how heartwrenching it is to experience someone you're supposed to trust with your security betray that responsibility.
@@shimmypolkaroo Btw, same here in essence.
@@shimmypolkaroo but I have no pity for his cult. They put him on a pedestal out of the same hatred and need to feel entitled that he used to instigate the act.
Its so ridiculous that white people still dont see the irony of this
"It can't be spun any other way"
But we know it will be. Almost a guarantee.
Oh! Would you like to hear some I've already heard?
1. It wasn't Trump supporters it was antifa pretending to be
2. This is black lives matter fault for showing that violence works
3. This is Democrats faults for stoking this hatred with their Trump derangement syndrome
4. This is completely non violent compared to BLM (I love this one... because it's just ignoring that the difference was cops wanted to fight BLM whereas with this one they all but joined in on the storming)
“Yesterday scared a lot of people” Yes it did Beau, yes it did.
just as the framers intended.
Unfortunately, it's going to happen again and again. :'( Massive failure of leadership on all fronts.
@Wilbur Whatley want some cheese with your whine? The election was over 2 months ago, son.
@Wilbur Whatley ... oooooh Wilbur... when people ask you just how stupid can you get, they don't mean you should take that as a challenge
We shouldn't be scared, we should be upset. And this should make more people get involved and write to these Republican Senators and ask them Why, Why are you helping this behavior from T. You didn't do anything to help the people. You are taking our money as taxpayers we expect you to be protecting us. But you have failed . If they can't do their jobs, they need to step down. They have failed us.
Beau for President!!! You're one of the good guys. I'm a woman of color and there's not a prejudice bone in my body as far as color is concern. So grateful to subscribe to your channel. Even more grateful to you for establishing it. I wish you peace!
I appreciate you speaking out in our behalf, most people will not listen to a black person. You are great.
I was scared already when a group of top military guys found it necessary to declare that the military will not interfere with the democratic process. They would not have said that if there was not something going on behind the scene.
I watched the chaos on tv and still can’t get the images out of my mind. I never thought I’d see Americans attacking the capital and yes I believed that it would never happen here. It is heartbreaking that we’ve come to this point.
I never thought plains would be flown into the pentagon either!
Uhhh ?...... when & where did you see a plain flown into a building ?? :)
@steve marshall - only one insane orange man and only if he would have thought things through better. This was a fiasco.
"It failed because it was Trump." That made me burst out in extremely enjoyable laughter when i desperately needed to. Thanks muchly.
Keep being a sane & bright voice in this Dark Age.
To all Americans who wonder how certain things could happen in Germany in 1933: Look no further than yesterdays events
Just remember we looked the other way until we couldn’t look away any longer.
Look at the last 4 years.
@@caryltiedemann7564 just curious is that an excuse or only an explanation of what happened?
same with Mussolini
Funny how at the final moment people in his administration want to resign, lol, 14 days left and now you say this has gone too far?!! Come on son!
They want to resign to SAVE THEIR ASS‼️🤷🏾♀️
My thoughts exactly! These GOP cowards have been the lap dogs of Trump for the last 4 years. Easy to jump ship when the Trump boat is sinking to its oblivion!
Right?!
Mr Web u r right it is closing the barn door after the horse has bolted and knocked down several kids... what is the point of resigning now?
Well they would have lost a paycheck. With these Republicans it's all about the money. Now they want us they are doing it because of their concerns. Oh Come on. Rats are jumping.
We need more people like you in position of responsibility and duty
AGREED.....

I'm a black male in the DMV area and I just wanted to say that was very well put and it was truthful. Thanks for sharing with us
Munich, Germany, Nov. 8/9, 1923
That was the beginning. Everyone knows how it ended.
Fortunately, DJT is too old to make a comeback. His children are idiots. My fear is someone younger will hijack his movement
"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance". John philpot Curran.
Similar situation will occur again.
uhhh you mean admiral tolwyn /s
We have to assume that Trumpers read anything beyond a gif or anything not punctuated with 'snowflake', 'liberals' or' BLM'.
Guarantee it. Pelosi and Schumer are all but inviting it with their lame ass responses. They shouldn't be threatening impeachment, they should be voting on it right now.

@Kevin Meehan
Well that's rude. I see your musical tastes, yet you defy the message from many of those awesome groups. Can we try to be civil? Broken civil discourse devolves into chest-thumping and name calling.
I am going to subscribe my friend! Thank you for your common sense!
