    You’re speaking of long after Jan 6th occurred. The OP post is talking about on that day. As in, “how did those that would actually stand to benefit become willing to benefit at the cost of following the rule of law?” The disappointing answer is that those performing the insurrection on Jan 6th, as well as those that would stand to gain, are more concerned with being in power rather than respecting justice and the rule of law.

      Yes you nailed it. Kamala recently expressed sadness at the level of capitulation, saying she didn’t expect it. A lot of us had a rude awakening in the days after J6 when we realized that lot of our fellow citizens did not take the lessons on democracy taught to us since grade school to heart.
